I'm reading that right now and just started part III today. Very philisophical.

Anyone here speed-read? I'd like to learn but i dont understand how one can power through difficult material and still comprehend it.

I'm also reading
Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill
How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
Be Here Now by Ram Dass
and Meditation For Dummies by Stephan Bodian
i cant seem to stick to one book the whole way through without starting another one...

BTW has anyone read Ishmael by Daniel Quinn?

I'm just about to finish Prey by Michael Crichton. It's a good ass book. I'd reccomend it to anyone. It will keep your attention for hours.

Ooooh. I've read that one. Your right. Good read.

Dune.

Dont get me wrong, Rainbow Six is an amazing book that I read a few years ago.. But Dune is a masterpiece.

Just finished Foop! by Chris Genoa, and it's a hilarious read. It's so bizzare and seemingly random at times but it all makes sense in a very hilarious way. I definitly recommend this book if you want a good read and laugh, and it also has a good amount of original characters, so you wont be disappointed.
