Chargerz Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 For the last week I've been reading the new novel written by Jeff Shaara about the WWII Allied campaigns in North Africa and Sicily. It's entitled The Rising Tide. Like all his novels the events and characters are real, the history is accurate, but the conversations and thoughts of the main characters are surmised. I love Shaara's books and have read them all. What book are you reading?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muck Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable by Nassim Taleb ...if you haven't read Taleb's first book, get it...Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and the Markets...it's a great book and should probably be read first to give you a context for some of his thinking; The Black Swan is more dense than FbR. Make sure you get the second edition of FbR... Edited May 15, 2007 by muck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebellab Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Currently reading State of Fear. Fiction about evironmentalists and global warming. This book obviously has an agenda. It is a good book as well. Not sure if I agree with the agenda though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Angels and Demons is my all time favorite. A real page turner. I liked far better than the DaVinci Code. That's because it is better. The whole DaVinci Code thing still makes me go . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Cid Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I just finished "Sacred Cows Make the Best Hamburger" by Robert Kriegel and David Brandt. It's a book about business practices and how to scrap those that are holding you back. I just picked up "The Gunslinger" by Stephen King. I've never finished the whole Dark Tower series so I thought this might be a good time to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
