Amazon: 1421 - The Year China Discovered America
Only halfway through it, but the author presents some really unique research. His premise may be faulty, but it's an intriguing read nonetheless. |

Re: What Are You Reading?
Manhunt, about the search for JW Booth, is very good as well.

Re: What Are You Reading?
Of course, like 20+ years ago. I think in 5th grade maybe?
My favorite book from back then was definitely The Toothpaste Millionaire

Re: What Are You Reading?
It's a fine story Quake. Dan and Anne if I remember correctly. And the part where he chops down a huge tree. 70Chip III enjoyed it not too long ago.

Re: What Are You Reading?
The Caves of Perigord by Martin Walker. I was at the library right before closing, grabbed the coolest looking book (I judged a book by its cover) and had to run out -- been pretty happy with it.

Re: What Are You Reading?
The last book I read was the Nikki Sixx Heroin Diaries.
I just purchased Meat Market. It's about college football recruiting. Barnes & Noble.com - Books: Meat Market, by Bruce Feldman, Hardcover |

Re: What Are You Reading?
I forgot to mention I'm reading Common Wealth and it sucks. Not worth buying.

Re: What Are You Reading?
Specifically what books are going to "rot my brain", and have you ever read those books? As for "Homage to Catalonia" I have read it and it was very good. The Spanish Civil War is an extremely interesting topic, and Orwell's account of it was fascinating.
