Currently reading Tell Me Where it Hurts. Very good book about the life of a Veterinary Surgeon. |

Posts: 5,094 | Too many books to count .... Not my 5 best ever but here are a few books that I quite enjoyed over the last few years.
1. "The Prince" ~ Machiavelli (non)
2. "The Communist Manifesto" ~ Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels (non)
3. "Godless" ~ Ann Coulter (non)
4. "This Present Darkness" ~ Frank Peretti (fiction)
5. "Slander" ~ Ann Coulter (non)
Obviously as my 5 cited books clearly indicate, I'm not a big fan of fiction in general. |
