Read any good books lately?

New Moon its the second book in the twilight series.

A Different Mirror: A History of Multicultural America by Ronald Takaki. It’s a primer, more or less, on the history of non-Anglo-Saxon peoples in the United States.

@willbrawn I didn’t really like the twilight series, the concept just seems over played you know?

I’ve read The Shack. Great book.

Salt: A World History is great, if you want something nonfiction.

Gates of Fire: An Epic Novel of the Battle of Thermopylae by Steven Pressfield if you’re into historical fiction.

The soul of a new machine

The Latehomecomer- Kao Kalia Yang

The best book I have read recently is The Secret Life of Bees. I didn’t expect to enjoy it so much and the first few chapters were a bit slow but once I got into it I couldn’t put it down!

The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. Very interesting and very well written. I have not read his other book, Blink, but I hear very good things about it.

The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan is also very good. He wrote another book called In Defense of Food that I hear is great, but once again, I have not read it.

Those are the two most recent nonfiction books I’ve read.

Since you’ve already read Guns, Germs, and Steel, I suppose you’ve read Collapse. It’s a good book, I really enjoyed it. I have not read Guns, Germs, and Steel though haha.

I’m a pretty big nonfiction junkie. Unfortunately, I do not read too many historical ones, though I do like history (if you know of any good ones I could read… :]).
