[FlyingPhotog]

What are some good books you've read recently (past couple years) and would recommend?

Here's my short list:

1. "It's Not About the Bike" - Lance Armstrong (Lance gets cancer, kicks cancer's a$$, wins Tour)
2. "Every Second Counts" - Lance Armstrong (Lance wins more tours)
3. "Into Thin Air" - John Krakauer (Mount Everest expedition)
4. "Seabuscuit" - Laura Hillenbrand
5. "Between A Rock and A Hard Place" - Aron Ralston (Hiker gets trapped and cuts his own arm off)
6. "Bleachers" - John Grisham
7. Isaac's Storm - Erik Larson (1900 Hurricane in Galveston killed 8,000+)

Robert Young Pelton,

Worlds Most Dangerous Places V.5

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0060011602/wwwcomebackal-20/104-6194260-3615116

I suggest it for anyone who travels anywhere. I have read V3 and V1 also. Beyond awesome book a real eye opener to all those of you under 18 and have never seen the world.

Also I suggest ---->

and
A Pirate Looks at Fifty by Jimmy Buffett
Where is Joe Merchant? by Jimmy Buffett

I'm reading 1984.
It's good, I'm not having a lot of free time to read so I'm not getting through it very fast though.

I am reading Catcher in the Rye for school. Very good book!
I am also reading Nuts. I recently finished From Worst to First and Flying High.
If you are into aviation books and/or flying, I would also suggest reading Flight of Passage, by Rinker Buck...very good book.

I would also suggest anything by Pat Conroy--I've read like 4 of his books in the last year. He is a local Charleston author.

Has anyone read The DaVinci Code?
I want to start that soon...I've heard good things.

Hearts of Darkness

I did enjoy "Into Thin Air" by John Krakauer

Catcher in the Rye is a good book.

I'm currently reading Beowulf for school. It's a great book if you can g et past the language being a bit awkward.
