    I am currently reading Game Of Thrones by Robert RR Martin and I'm entranced in it. Best fantasy book I've ever read.

    just got given ''First they killed my father - a daughter of Cambodia remembers' by Loung Ung

    It's a true story about a young girl who survived the Pol Pot regime. Very disturbing and sad.

    Killing Yourself to Live by Chuck Klosterman. Very interesting and laugh out loud hilarious, much like everything else Klosterman's ever written.

    I liked the film's ending a lot more. Although it's usually the other way around, the book ending was too happy.

    Yeah, it's good so far. I've seen the movie too many times before, though so I keep imagining the actors. [​IMG]

    After "Interview", I'll take "Rules of attraction".

    Is it any good? And is it about a guy walking across America?

    If so and you like that type of book, check out "Red Dust: A path through China" by Ma Jian, a chinese defector who spent three years walking around China in the 1980's before fleeing to the west. It's a real eye-opener.

    I started Plato Republic recently and although there is no denying the man's logic, I found it sort of tedious and have not finished it, which is a rarity for me. What do you think of it?
    I may have to give it another try soon because I'm once again running out of books.
