36/M/Rockhampton, Australia Join Date: Nov 2005 | I have just reading a young adults novel written by first time author, Michael Gerard Bauer. His book published by Scholastic is called, "The Running Man".
I quote from the back of the book;
"Tom Leyton, a reclusive Vietnam veteran, has been the subject of rumour and gossip for thirty years. When Joseph Davidson, his young neighbour and a talented artist, is asked to draw a protrait of him, an uneasy relationship begins to unfold, one that will force each of them to confront his darkest secrets.
This is a story about how we perceive others, the judgements we make about them, how we cope with tragedy, and the nature of miracles."
I am only up to the 4th chapter and am enjoying this book. I don't really go for adult books as I tend to find books for teens better written with stronger material within the written word. Excluding authors such as John Le Carre. | | |

20/M/Tromsų, Norway Join Date: Jul 2005 | I just finished From a Buick 8 by Stephen King and The Half Brother by Lars Saabye Christensen. Right now it's Hunger by Knut Hamsun (for school), The Firm by John Grisham , Queen of Demons by David Drake, Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind and, when I'm in the mood, Fanny Hill by John Cleland. Apart from that, my nightstand is full of crappy books I've saved from various school library purges. They're kinda like orphans, you don't want anything to do with 'em, but you take care of them anyway.
You're right, I don't get out much. 
 I'll bring the soy sauce, but you have to lick it off yourself.
