i've finished all my exams yesterday, so technically i've got holidays. :smoking:

didn't have much time to read any books for my own pleasure this year, so i wanna do it now. anyone knows any good ones?

right now i'm reading "Roots" by Alex Haley, it's about Kunta Kinte from Gambia, Haley believed it was his ancestor. i really recommend it, nice read.

Ive read this book, its fantastic, its scientific but its more of answers to puzzles.

i highly recommend it.

I also read "the selfish gene"

and this one was interesting for the whole explanation on the nature of character in relation to biology.

& what is that supposed to mean? :tapping:

uhmm..if you've ever heard of the films interview with a vampire/queen of the damned, them films are based on her books. i havent read it all yet, but my friend says they're good, it just depends if you like reading books about that kinda stuff, but it's still good horror. :unsure:

oh & a child called it series - they're good.
& also sickened is pretty good, i just can't remember who it's by. :sweating:
