I read about a book a week. Sometimes two. Most people I know don't read a book a YEAR. I enjoy a good book more then just anything...(well a really good wrestling PPV and a book may be tied.)

I have the graphic novel version of it. I had read the original a long time ago when I was like 12 or something. It's really good, because the graphic novel is practically a word for word reprint of the original book.

Cool, I'll look into it soon then.
The last book I read was Lords of Chaos. It's a true crime/music non-fiction. It's all about the European black metal scene in the early to mid ninety's and about how smurfed up people were (or still are). There was a ton of murders and church burning because of all this, a really interesting read.
Before reading that I re-read Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk, I'm my opinion that should have been a movie instead of Fight Club.

Hehe, yeah. I tried to start to read that book when i got it back then, but now that I have free time, I've started to read (or re-read) all the books on my book shelf. Next up is The First Five, by Henry Rollins

i read the original dracula, and then i rammed my fingers into my eye sockets.
it's like 1200 pages and 300 of them are just dracula bitching and bitching, totally not exciting.
the end of the book makes up for it.
i'm re-reading the jhonen vasquez graphic novels.

since good wrestling ppv's don't exist anymore you must do lots of reading.
I tend to read allot of history books
reading a book called "generals" by mark Urban
its about ten British generals who shaped the world ( including Howe, The British general who failed to kill Washington despite having numerous chances to finish off the rebels, Washington was able to bring in other european powers against the british)

I finished Choke by Chuck Palahniuk a few days ago, interesting story, but kind of on the short side.

Funny, there are no books based on that. I was really hoping there'd be something to read about that Jesus guy... oh well.
On a semi-related side note, I just finished reading, "The Mel Gibson Guide to the Good Life, Passionate Living for the Brave at Heart." It was pretty funny, and yes, this is a real book. I got it for Christmas and put off reading it until now.
