WillyT Joined: Jan 13, 2007 Posts: 95 Jersey Shore	Posted on Dec 21 2007 05:23 PM I just finished "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson. Mostly humorous, sometimes disturbing adventures on the Appalachian Trail. Before that, Tony Horwitz's "Confederates in the Attic", which looks at the lingering War Between The States. Also humorous, but even more troubling. Wheeler's new "Soul of Tone" is sitting on the coffee table. Wish it didn't weigh so much, so I could read it comfortably on the vanpool ride to work. Looks great, though. Top

Looks great, though. i've enjoyed all the bill bryson books. 'a walk in the woods' is one of my favorites. the australia book is quite good also. the title escapes me at the moment, something about a sunburned country, i think. — www.surfintheeye.com Top

SurfBandBill Joined: Mar 15, 2006 Posts: 1487 San Francisco	Posted on Dec 26 2007 07:09 PM Now that I'm back to "pleasure reading" for the next month, I just cracked into "Run with the Hunted" which is a Charles Bukowski reader - it's got a smattering of all his works. Next in line after that is "A&R" by Bill Flanagan. ~B~ Top

DannySnyder Joined: Mar 02, 2006 Posts: 11058 Berkeley, CA	Posted on Dec 26 2007 08:16 PM image A very interesting read about the subconscious tricks of communication, especially political. It has a liberal bent, but many conservatives are known to have read it and learned from it as well. — Danny Snyder "With great reverb comes great responsibility" - Uncle Leo Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF Top
