I've been trying to finish Jackie Chan's autobiography, "I Am Jackie Chan". It's a really neat book, which includes some of his hilarious childhood antics. It's pretty entertaining so far. ^_^

 

The Templar Revelation (I forgot the author's name). Great book so far!

 

The Cosmic Serpant- DNA and the origins of Knowlege by Jeremey Narby... very very interesting. I'm very much into Anthropology and hallucenegenic drug use so this book is right up my alley

 

Reefer Madness by Eric Schlosser
Slaughterhouse by Gial Eisnitz ... i sugest anyone that eats meat reads this so they know what they are really putting in their mouth.

 

Life of Pi by Yann Martel

 

the discovery of heaven - Harry Mulisch

 

Shadows of the Empire. It's a Star Wars novel that takes place in the time between "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi."

Unterland by Wolfgang and Heike Hohlbein
The Truce At Bakura by Kathy Tyers (For... let's say the 10th time? just great)

 

"The Drifters" by James A Michener... pretty good. Long at times but I'm enjoying it alot.

 

The perks of being a wallflower by stephan chbosky....havent started it yet. i have not idea what its about.

 

I just finished A Town like Alice by Nevil Shute. I still love Shute's books, great to read. Only occasionally it's annoying they're so old (this one plays in 1940-1950, and was published in 1950). In this case that means that otherwise quite nice characters sometimes act racist against the natives, both the Malay people & the aboriginals... but they're not real nasty about it, just acting as 'whites' did back then...

 

pls tell me what it's like if you read it. mayb ewhen you're done i can buy it offf you or just borrow it. that's the way my mother spells my first name, same as the author's.

 

it really is... i love the language and philosophy of that book!
