nagpants 1 Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 A new book thread. Read anything good recently? Tell me about it! I've run out of books (as well as music) and looking for more. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 'The Remains of the Day' - I loved it! I just picked up a new book that won the Whitbread Prize in the UK in 2003. I think its called 'The nightmare of the upside down dog' or something. Its like a fictional diary of an autistic man. I read a few excepts and it was really interesting to read. I'm gonna start on it once I have finished 'On the Road' (which is so so by the way). Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hilary Clintons book. It is (maybe surprisingly) interesting. Someone I knew had it and gave it to me. Ahem. Link to post Share on other sites

kintaro 0 Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Just finished another one..."You Gotta Have wa" - Robert Whiting. Baseball book. Not for everyone but slightly entertaining. I'm gonna start "The Meaning of Ichiro" by the same author tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
