what book are you reading or have read

[Dr. Bullet]

I try to read as much as possible. Right now I'm inbetween, but when I get a book, it gets me completely involved. Just reading off and on throughout the day, I can do 600 page books (small print...) in two days. When I was reading the Left Behind books, I was in a time crunch and read each of them in 4-5 hours.

Reading is my greatest escape. If it has words and is somewhat coherent and is slightly of interest, I will devour it.

I'm the running joke at the library. They always know my shipments because there's always a huge stack

defenatly the best books i have read in a while if u ask me. if u have not read them u should they are very good.

[Dr. Bullet]

I thought the Da Vinci code was a good story. His writing style for it was kind of weird, but the story was superb. I was one of those people that immediately checked "The Last Supper" to see if it was true

I'm a Clive Cussler nut though. Valhalla Rising was the best book I think I've read in a long long time. I judge a good book by how much I get into it. That book had me yelling at the characters. One thing with me, when I read, I go into overdrive and I'm no longer reading- I see a movie. I was completely involved in this one.

For sure. I've read books that I've heard bad things about and liked them. Then others that have gotten rave reviews it's like

One that I don't get is Harry Potter. It's a great story, but it's written like a 1st grader book. It's sad that it takes such poorly written prose to get our kids to read. I read Beowulf when I was 9 and loved it, and it's not exactly easy reading...

At the moment I'm Reading Eisenhower Soldier and President by Stephen E. Ambrose author of Band of Brothers and many other historical works.

It's an in depth book of how General Eisenhower led the greatest seaborne invasion in the history of the world to the final defeat of Hitlers Germany by the allies and his rise into the political world and eventually the presidency of the United States.

From his early days to the last days of his life this one man was a beacon of all that is good and great about America and it's peoples and the determination of one individual to surmount the seemingly impossible and to over come it.

A fascinating book that I would highly recommend by this superb author.

i got to say thats some heavy reading i don't know i could read something like that.

FROM THE PUBLISHER
Stephen E. Ambrose draws upon extensive sources, an unprecedented degree of scholarship, and numerous interviews with Eisenhower himself to offer the fullest, richest, most objective rendering yet of the soldier who became president. He gives us a masterly account of the European war theater and Eisenhower's magnificent leadership as Allied Supreme Commander. Ambrose's recounting of Eisenhower's presidency, the first of the Cold War, brings to life a man and a country struggling with issues as diverse as civil rights, atomic weapons, communism, and a new global role.
Along the way, Ambrose follows the 34th President's relations with the people closest to him, most of all Mamie, his son John, and Kay Summersby, as well as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Charles de Gaulle, Harry Truman, Nixon, Dulles, Khrushchev, Joe McCarthy, and indeed, all the American and world leaders of his time. This superb interpretation of Eisenhower's life confirms Stephen Ambrose's position as one of our finest historians.

FROM THE CRITICS
Publishers Weekly
In this admiring and enormously readable revision/condensation of his acclaimed two-volume biography, published in 1983 and 1984, Ambrose reminds us that this "great and good man'' was the most successful general of the greatest war ever fought and the only president of this century to preside over eight years of peace and prosperity. Tracing Eisenhower's family background, education, military and political careers, and influence as elder statesman, the author chronicles Eisenhower's triumphs and failures and at the same time provides a vivid picture of the off-duty Ike. As Allied Supreme Commander, he is revealed once again as a coalition leader of extraordinary ability (and "an intensely alive human being who enjoyed his job immensely''). As our 34th president, he was a statesman who guided the free world through one of the most dangerous decades of the Cold War. Ambrose argues that Eisenhower has much to say to us today on such fundamental issues as national defense, arms expenditures, the importance of a balanced budget and the desirability of a United States of Europe with an all-European army. This is the definitive one-volume biography of Eisenhower.
