Halfway through this Liar's Poker by Michael Lewis.

About investment banking and the ins and outs of Wall Street. Very vivid and funny.

Only 1/4 way through it so far. It is pretty good, goes much more into detail about Lloyd Simco life than the television show ever did.

Also, what is it about?

I've heard nothing but good things, but have no idea what it's about.

...And how many pages?

Finished my sociology professor's urban ethnographic book on graffiti, titled "Graffiti Lives," not to long ago. It's a great read on the history of the graffiti subculture culture if you're into it, and even if you think you are not, you will notice how graffiti has inadvertently impacted you in some sort of way. This guy met legends from all around the world including the famous ESPO, the guy that designed those transparent Air Force 2's. My professor is a cool dude himself, an ex-sneaker head too.

"Foucault’s Pendulum" by Umberto Eco

Tough read, but rather entertaining. In layman's terms, I'd describe it as a thinking man's Da Vinci Code.

Sorry to dig up this OLD post, but i was out of reading for nearly 4 years, but have tried to get myself back into it again, and this thread has been great. i've recently read:

,

"curious incident" is a great read, not too long, very humourous, i definitely recommend it.

currently reading:

all great reads so far.
my next on the lists:

lord of the flies, the great gatsby, the girl with the dragon tattoo, a game of thrones, kite runner, thousand splendid suns.

don't know how long it will take

by the way, there's just something about the catcher in the rye that makes me unable to get into the book.. i tried to read it twice..
usually books attract me fairly early and i go on a trance to finish the book. i heard so much great things about catcher in the rye and that is the only thing pushing me to keep reading.. but i've only got to perhaps 1/4 of the book before i quit..

 

[jimilebowski]

No need to apologize this is better then makeing a new thread

BTW girl with the Dragon tattoo was a great series however the second book was way to drawn out. 

enjoy

Found some book on Freemasonry for like 8 bucks at Barnes & Nobles a while ago which was a really good read. It's called Revered Wisdom or something along those lines.

Just started reading Tokyo Vice, really interesting so far. Reminds me of the flick Black Rain.

currently reading A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

 

[teamjordan79]

...very good so far

currently trying to get around to starting the Art of War I have it I just have to get around to opening it. can anybody give me some feedback on Art of War by Sun Zu? Any NTers read it ?feedback?

I've been wanting to badly read a book on earthquakes and volcano's for some reason, anything dealing with natural disasters or science. I feel like I want to be knowledgeable in those areas because most folks I meet now don't know too much of nothing when it comes to things like that and I feel like I can drop some serious info if anything happens on the news about natural disasters or anything dealing with outer space.

if I can get my hand on some law books that would be nice also.

People now only follow the media.
