Anyone read or reading anything good?


I'm reading the book Bill Romanowski did on himself right now and its pretty good.


The Odds by Chad Millman is very good too...about gamblers in Vegas

Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell/Patrick Robinson is an awesome book about the the deaths of Seal Team 10 in Afganistan...Luttrell was only survivor



Any others you guys recommend?

Tried "why we suck" by denis leary.....read the first few chapters, then it just got bad. love the guy. rescue me is awesome, but book was baaaaad

I dont read lots but the last one was OchoCinco the book covers my avatar. It was OK I dont recommend it though unless ur a bengals fan. Its like a 3rd grade level type reading, but i can understand that since Chad isnt too educated but for a fan its ok.

Mark Brandon Read is the son of a strict Seventh Day Adventist mother and a war stressed soldier who slept with a loaded gun at his side. Bullied at school, he grew up dreaming of revenge, determined to be the toughest in any company. He became a crime commando who terrorised drug dealers, pimps, thieves and armed robbers on the streets and in jail - but boasts he never hurt an innocent member of the public. From streetfighter to standover man, gunman to underworld executioner, he has been earmarked for death a dozen times but has lived to tell the tale. This is it.

Runnin Rebel is a good read, about tark

Fooled by Randomness is very good, about the myth of success, and the under-emphasis of luck in general

I know it is. It's a good read man. Talks about how if someone disrespected him in jail he would make them chew on razorblades!!! Guy is nuts!! Said he never once killed an innocent person, all of them deserved it lol. Figured this would be something you would like reading. I sure did.

Yea I did. Nothing beats the book. Actually shows real pictures of the people he murdered and the way he tells his story is brilliant. A must read.

Hadn't read in awhile but made it a priority in February and was able to knock out 6 books this past month.

I like John Grisham books for the most part. A Painted House and Bleachers are the 2 I read most recent of his. Both were good books and quick reads.

Time Bandit is a good quick read also.

If your into business type books Never Eat Alone is a decent read.
