    Read any good books lately?

    Just finished I AM LEGEND original (1950's!!) awesome but quite short. Anyone else read it? weird how old books always seem to go on about SEX for no point to the story at all.... Halfway thru THE ICEMAN memoirs of a mafia hitman too pretty sick/slick in equal measures!

    just finished reading the acid house by irvine welsh, amazing collection of short stories.

    started reading his book "ecstacy" but had to put it down half way as its the most disturbing this ive ever read.

    Slash from Guns n Roses autobiography is really good.
    I read Ian Rush's recently too, its good but only if you're a Liverpool fan or you're Welsh.

    The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne; a short but great read...had me in both a state of shock and sadness with tears rolling down my face!!

    I read it just as the film came out...its not worth going to see it when you know the ending!
