    neither was always a slow reader.
    I once went through a phase where I'd read a book and get a dictionary to find out the meaning of new words.... it only lasted five minutes!

    Me neither. I started for fun reading this little book called "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho, from there I was hooked!

    "The smell of football" by Baz Rathbone
    "Hitler's Piano Player" by Peter Conradi
    "Magda Goebbels" by Anja Klabunde

    Have always had a inquisitive fascination with the big players in the 2nd World War, and more so with the Third Reich. Got a brilliantly fascinating book about Leni Reifenstahl, Hitler's photographer and propoganda film maker of "Triumph of the will" fame and Olympic's 1933. Im sure this would be a real interesting book for you to read, if i find it, i'll give you the title and author.....

    Found it IDI..........
    "Leni: The life and work of Leni Riefenstahl" by Steven Bach.....the book is done with a deckle edge, to make it look like a handmade paper with a frayed edge.

    Flipnosis-the are of split second persuasion- Kevin Dutton.

    Predictably irrational, the hidden forces that shape our decisions - Daniel Ariely

    And i think it was somebody like Lenny Mcleans autobiography or something.

    Be a bit wary of the "Leni" book, some think it poorly written, i found it fine myself, and told me all i wanted to know. Quite a genius, but obviously flawed, in that she struggles to apologise to what she did, other than to say she was following instructions. How many times have we heard that. Her way of exorcising her demons was to do documentaries of African life?!!! in her later life.

    W00t? The most philosophical man on the BR didn`t get that one?

    I was almost dissapointed after reading it. The storyline was good, but the "life changing final point" were such a text book classical, that I almost felt ripped off.

    3-4 years since I read it, but I think the point was the more you realise that happiness is truly found in the simplicity of what you already know, the more eveident it becomes that the one who seeks something outside himself to be happy surely have a problem. Your ability to be happy is defined by how many obstacles you decide for yourself are necessary for you to feel happiness. Like needing wealth or at lest a particular material standard to be content.

    roughly put, but as I said it`s been a while since I`ve read that one.

    The Alchemist I remembered being amazing when I was 17, I reread it a few years back and it really lacks subtlety. Colehole does peddle 'spiritual' Piffle at times.





    My last three were Baudolino by Umberto Eco, Great Apes by Will Self and the works of Dylan Thomas. Just started the Death of Bunny Munro by Nick Cave. Forgot what a jarring style he has.

    My problem is I start reading them, but after a couple of chapters, I lose interest. I'm one of these people that has to read a book all the way through if I'm to maintain my interest as my attention span....... OOOH! OOOH!!! A BLACK DOG WITH A WHITE TAIL!!!..... Isn't the best at times. I actually can't remember the last three books I read, but the next three books I plan to read (or start reading) are:

    The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
    The Girl Who Played With Fire
    The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest

    I'm getting a load of books for Christmas too, including Baz Rathbone's which I'm looking forward to reading.
