Yes, yes, we're all reading SS2 right now and probably some Sklansky etc..., but what are you reading that is not poker or card related?I''m currently reading Wizards First Rule by Terry Goodkind (Fantasy) while waiting for Terry Prachett's latest Discworld installment to come out in paperback.Nikki

I'm reading a non-fiction about the Hell's Angels. It's AWESOME. My brother's got a motorcycle and gave me the book. I started thinking that I wouldn't enjoy it, but it's truly been an eye opener for me.It's called "The Road to Hell: How the Bikers Conquered Canada" by, Julien Sher.I recomend this to anyone who enjoys non-fiction

I'm reading the Left Behind series by Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins about The rapture. I think there are 12 or 13 books in the series. I'm currently on number6 or 7 (Assassins). It's an awesome series . . . it also explains a lot about the rapture if your interested/believe in that (which I do).

I love . . . er . . . I mean hate . . . I mean love this game!

meh I still real all the John Grisham books I can find.

Suddenly I turned around
And she was standin' there
With silver bracelets on her wrists
And flowers in her hair.
She walked up to me so gracefully
And took my crown of thorns.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

I've always been a big fan of the beats. I also read poli-sci/philosophy books(that was my major). Just finished Kerouac's Dharma Bums and loved it

I read the Magic the Gathering books. Started reading them when I started playing the game, and they're good reads.

I generally read a lot of non-fiction, but i recently started a book called The Known World, which won a ton of awards for fiction in 2004 (Pulitzer, etc.). Highly recommended. It's about a slave-holding African American family in 1850s Virginia.
