blondejamtart Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 At the moment? Me? The Slash biog. Man is a nutter! I read that while I was on holiday in Turkey in October. It's a good read - he's very upfront and direct about what went on, but also honest enough to admit that it's HIS version of the whole GnR saga and that others might see it differently.

N User Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Ender in Exile by Orson Scott Card Latest in the Ender's Game series. I actually listened to the audiobook, surprisingly a good way of "reading" it. Any fans of Science fiction should definitely read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.

Ali-1874 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Tokyo-Year zero, by the same boy that wrote The Damned United. Any good? Liked the look of it when I saw it. I'm reading In Europe by Geert Mak. About a historian who travels around Europe looking to find out more about history in the 1900s. Seems quite interesting so far. Non-fiction though.
