I have that on order at the library. I bought my father in law the flu novel you recommended on here, and saw that.
Looks good.

Oh, man. The Bourne books are about ten billion times better than the movies.
Well, I only watched the first movie really because it really could not live up to the books, even if it was a decent movie.
The trilogy is great...another was written I think, but the first three are great.
Jason Bourne is so much more of a badass in the books than he is in the movies, and in the movies he's a pretty strong badass already.

Finished the OJ book. Weird thing, man. I don't know how to describe it. He makes up a person who was there with him (so you don't know how he disposed of the clothes and the knife, etc. because "charlie" did that).
It was weird because the whole time I was waiting for the event that led to the murders, but none really came. Right before his "confession" he says "and remember, this is hypothetical" even though NOTHING in the book was hypothetical to that point. It was dumb, weird and BS.
Good forwards and afterwords though, from reporters and the Goldman family.

I will eventually get around to watching the movies but I want to read the books first. |

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Been working on this one for a while. To get some of it to sink in I have to go back a reread it a few times.

Just started this one, too. It's okay. A little odd. But it's a quick read. |

Bourne novels are way better than the movies.
the novels are much violent too.

Finished the first 2 Dexter books, the first one just barely follows the first season of the Showtime show--the second one is on its own and bares no resemblance to any episodes in the show. Dexter is Dexter but the TV show took a lot of liberty with some of the other characters but I read an interview with Jeff Lindsay (the author) and he was happy with the direction of the show (which IMO is one of the best TV shows period right now).
After that last book I have Imperium by Robert Harris ( http://www.amazon.com/Imperium-Novel...8296299&sr=1-1) and 1945 by Robert Conroy ( http://www.amazon.com/1945-Novel-Rob...8296403&sr=1-1) still left to read. Then I'll be all caught up until the 27th when the new Star Wars book comes out (the nerd side of me must be fed). |

Never read it because it wasn't written by Ludlum.
Is it any good?

I'll ask my dad and get back to you. He's read all 4 Bourne books. The Ludlum estate hand-picked Lustbader to continue the Bourne saga in book form.
Here's a thread on it. The Bourne Legacy
If anyone has read it - maybe they could post what they thought of it... |
