    Just finished Dangerous Visions by Harlan Ellison. Great anthology of disturbing sci-fi stories.

    Another Roadside Attraction by Tom Robbins. Classic sarcasm at it's best! Only for those who are into fiction.

    I didn't see any point in starting a NEW thread ... so maybe this one will continue.

    "Fool Me Twice" by Shawn Otto



    Very interesting read ... in some ways, a bit of a treatise on why our politicians are failing us.

    And I bet I'll get a lot of response to that comment.



    A great classic is Catcher in the Rye by Salinger. It pertains to what life is about.

    I am currently reading Pet Sematary by Stephen King. I am on page 120 and so far am enjoying it a lot. I recommend it.

    "Genius: The Life and Scienc of Richard Feynman", by James Gleick

    Loved that one! Read it twice... His autobiography is good too ("Surely You're Joking...") but it was the main source for Genius, so there is quite a bit of overlap...

    Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins... I know I'm way behind to read this trilogy... but still, better late than never... :)

    I like to read the "Fifty Shades of Grey". But, I am only done with the chapter 1... I really find it cute and romantic though people labeled it as some erotic story.

    Read the whole story before you make your judgement... A "synopsis" is NOT the story the author wrote.

    (even if you still don't like it, you'll have broadened your intellectual horizons.)

    If i find the synopsis boring then what will i expect for the whole story??? I won't waste my time for that. Synopsis is the best way an author let the people read their stories.
