Got given a Amazon Kindle Ereader for Xmas and man is it good. $160 and you can download books in 30secs.
Heaps of free books and lots of good ones for $2-$5
Got the latest Lee Child for $11 instead of $35 at the shops

If you enjoyed that - try 'blink'. Interesting stuff.

I too am reading Paul Kelly's "How To Make Gravy".

Also "The Happy Isles of Oceania" by Paul Theroux (about his kayakking journey around Australasia and The Pacific).

For the 2nd time, "Fate is The Hunter" by Ernest Gann.

For the 3rd time, "Shantaram" by Gregory David Roberts.

There's too many good books out there.

Cheers.

Just finished Crossing the Ditch by James Castrission. What a cracking read.. two guys decide to cross the Tasman from Forster to New Zealand in a Kayak. An easy read and thoroughly motivational.

Now getting stuck into the ltest one by my favourite author.. Zero History by William Gibson.

Sword of Truth series.. thought I'd reinvestigate it now that he's finished all the books. I'm currently up to book #7 - 4 to go.

I'll have to look at Surface detail. Spotted it at the book shop the other day, and was tempted.. but will push my way through the seeker stuff first.

Other than that, a compilation of political cartoons around the time of 'truth overboard', "mastering regular expressions, 3rd edition", "zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance" (ferry ride read), and I really need to catch up on the bureau 42 lecture series on quantum physics now that they've finalised the last 4 issues.

Got a stack of raymond feist books for christmas to add to my collection as well as hells angels hunter s thompson and catch 22.

I haven't read Hugh Lunn's books but used to occasionally hear him on ABC radio, including reading excerpts from his books. This one starts off "In 1964 , when Bob Dylan and the Beatles where changing the times, two 23-year-old likely lads from Brisbane arrived in Hong Kong, keen to experience the mysterious Orient." The cover notes suggest it should be an entertaining read.

I've read "Over the top with Jim" and that was a great read. It's hard to believe how much Brisbane has changed in that time.

I've been going through the Frederick Forsyth and Robert Ludlum books recently. Ludlum is good but a little long-winded at times and I have really enjoyed Forsyth's books.

Just finished reading the Twilight Saga for the 22nd time

No I just finished book 13 from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time Series. I always hated these series kind of books but after reading this series for more then 10 years I even preordered this book from Amazon when i found out about it's release date

I am now reading 'The Last Watch' by Sergei Lukyanenko. Once you get over any translation issues it is quite ann easy read.

Next I will probably read some Penthouse Articles Cause it is all about the articles right?

cheers

Gatesy, picked up a copy of this down at the newsagent. Strangely, it was wrapped in plastic. The articles are excellent, I'll mail it to you once I'm done.

PIHKAL- A chemical love story by Dr Alexander Shuglin
Pandora by Anne Rice
and every australian fishing forum i can find to make up for my lack of fishing.

[dru]

Surface Detail is up to Banks usual brilliance. I'm also reading
The Diet Delusion, recommended by Peril. Just as difficult as promised but a real eye opener.
Value.Able by Roger Montomery. Easy to follow logic on valuing shares and it would be of massive importance if I was only slightly less account illiterate.
The Fishing Bible by Al McGlashan, dreadful editing, fab pics, and lots of knowledge.

I will read Tim Flannery's latest on this break as well. Always good to keep my finger on the pulse of the most active environmental activists.
