So what was it? What was it about? I know somebody here reads books.

I'm re-reading Henry Rollins:Get In The Van. It's a journal of his five years of touring in Black Flag, one of the hardest working bands in musical history. Talk about pressure and hard work!

One of the last books I read was "Cats Cradle" by Kurt Vonnegut and
Claptons Biography,both pretty good reads.

"The Regulators" by Stephen King (or Richard Bachman, or whoever he was at that moment).

Eh, all I'll say is that there are points in his career when he borrowed heavily from his other works.

2468jo - 'twas Cat's Cradle that got me into Bokononism!

"If you want to know what's in a granfalloon
Just peel the skin off a toy balloon"

LOVE that book!

I just finished some piece o' crap Dean Koontz rubbish book called "Taken," with super-heavy pseudo-christian overtones, like much of his later works. I'm really beginning to dislike that guy, cuz he's lost his edge, & the way he pushed his morality on a reader belongs in an elementary-grade short story, these days.

The decline and fall of the Roman empire by Edward Gibbon, interesting read because of the influence of the Roman empire has had on Western civilization culturally, politically military and economically.

I’ve always being interested in the etymology or origin of language custom and the above mentioned subjects.

The Master Angler by Phil Rabideau. Best fishing book I ever read. I think it's still available at Amazon. Want to catch more fish consistently? A must read.
