                  His "obsession drove him to write such a great book; its absolutely brilliant!

                  Greg, Going Solo, along with BFG is also my favorite Roald Dahl book!

                      I used to be into sci-fi books when I was a kid, so I loved Asimov, Timothy Zahn, and Anne McCaffery.

                      Now I only read non-fiction. Lately I’ve read Stupid White Men by Michael Moore, Who Killed Canadian History by Jack Granatstein, and Blinded by the Right by David Brock. I’m planning on reading The Friendly Dictatorship by Jeffery Simpson.

                      Moore's book was absolutely unreadable; he’s a horrible writer (he's incoherent) and he gets carried away with his rants. I loved David Brock’s and Granatstein’s books –- both were great reads.
