Have you seen the movie? It's pretty good, but I wonder if it is on with the book?

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

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.
