I'm reading 'Methland' by: Nick Reding. So far, I'm unimpressed. It's hardly engaging. It does give facts about what meth can do to small towns. However, I've read two chapters so far and just can't get into it. I will try again to read what I feel is an overly descriptive, "know it all" book. Maybe the rest of the book is more productive than the begining.

I think when it comes 2 meth a book is kinda putting a little 2 much work in 2 what can be said in a sentence, " Meth is bad".

had some flying to do this past weekend, finished Tom Stanley's The Millionaire Next Door and Dave Ramsey's More Than Enough. Both good reads in my opinion, More Than Enough was not much different from Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace though. Moving on to Tom Stanley's The Millionaire Mind. I will be getting off this money/financial kick shortly and moving on to other subjects...not that I've exhausted all there is in the money/financial area...

The Millionaire Mind and the Millionaire Next Door were great reads.:thumb:

Finished "Up in the Air" this morning - on a plane, of course. For once, I liked the movie better than the book. Some funny lines in it, though.

Just finished reading Going Rogue (Sarah Palin). All politics aside, it was interesting to hear about rural alaska and the way political campaigns handle the candidates.

I enjoyed that book, and think it was fairly well documented. I have come to understand that a lot of people do not like Jon Krakauer, but I thought it was a fairly unbiased read. But what do I know...

I'm continuing to blaze through them...

They say that in 10 years you will be the same person you are today except for the books you read and the people you meet. I wish I would have read these two books (one I just finished, the other I just started) back in high school...luckily I was able to stumble my way into an awesome marriage! :D

Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban. ISBN 0-253-33448-9

Maybe 1000 years post apocolypse England. Written in pseduo english that has been degraded by 1000 years of illiteracy. This makes reading it more of a translation. The intent is to slow the reader down to get him or her to think about the ideas presented.
After about 50% of the book, the translations are coming more or less automatically in my mind. None-the-less, I think this is the most challenging text I've read for pleasure.

Example of the text:

I said, ‘Youwl lissen us right in to Grabs your Aunty in a minim if we keap on walking don’t you have nothing in mynd?’

I saw this book at Wal-mart with a very proper lady on the front. However, something was different about her. She had blood all down the front of her dress and half of her face was falling off. I read the cover- Pride and Prejudice and Zombies I bought it and I have to say it is really funny. It goes directly along with the real book. It just has Zombies in it and Elizabeth (main character) is a ruthless warrior that is trained by masters of the Orient. She loves killing zombies and threating others. Great book.

Sounds hilarious. I'd have to reread Pride and Prejudice to "get" all the jokes, I'm sure.
