The Secret History of the Blitz by Joshua Levine

Clicked by accident but decided I'd give it a shot. Turned out to be an interesting account of the war years that was full of surprises.

The Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America's War in Afghanistan
Michael Hastings

Recently made into a film on netflix with Bradd Pitt which is terrible and nothing like the book.

I recently finished "The Haçienda: How Not to Run a Club" by Peter Hook. An excellent first hand account with a lot of insights into the business of running a night club.

The Last Centurion by John Ringo.
Good fiction told from the (mostly) viewpoint of a Captain in the US Army. Written in 2008 the president in the book does somewhat resemble the current office holder in the US.

Homosapiens by Yuval Hariri on Human journey over last million years

Alchemist by Paul Coelho on following dreams

"Fight Club" by Chuck Palahniuk. I am sure this book doesn't need any recommendation.

Copied from a previous post I made on another thread...



started to read the Karma Sutra last week...

got to page 4, threw my back out, put the book down... considered not holding the book while practicing... left it till this week,



Picked the book up again last night... was a bloody good read I can tell ye!

Till I got to page 47 snapped a finger, broke a toe and I'm sure I've cracked a rib...

Still, no pain no gain! Always a positive to a negative

Page 88 looks well mint!

My favorite book is 1984 by George Orwell, it just breaks you in the end. Even if you may have seen the movie, the book, like always, is way better.

hi,

When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi

The Book in Three Sentences: The memoir of Paul Kalanithi, a neurosurgeon at Stanford University, who is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in his mid-thirties. Kalanithi uses the pages in this book to not only tell his story, but also share his ideas on how to approach death with grace and what it means to be fully alive.

I've just finished "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas that became one of my favourite books. Now I'm looking for the new book to read. So, thanks for the suggestion, guys!

If you like Sci-Fi and you’re a fan of dire material, you should absolutely read Dmitry Glukhovsky’s novels Metro 2033 | Metro 2034 | Metro 2035.

I also like the Patriots: A Novel of Survival in the Coming Collapse by James Wesley Rawles.

There’s just something so appealing to me in almost all post-apocalyptic fiction.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki
And
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Two best books I've ever read. Maybe because there is no 800 pages, but really. IF you got few hours please do me favor and read it
Have a nice day!
