I am reading the book, "Miracle in the Andes."
Written by one of 16 survivors and by one of the two who walked down the mountain (the Andes in South America) to find help for themselves and the other survivors still stranded on the mountain at the 11,500- foot level.

It tells of the same basic story as the book "Alive" which was written not long after the disaster.

I've read so much about this plane crash/disaster, seen the movie and watched interviews that I almost seem to know Nando without ever meeting him.

Here is the cover of the book:

les miserables by victor hugo

i'm on like page 8 and i have to read it by tuesday :o haha for extra history credit

[Dr. Thong]

Islam And Terrorism by Dr. Mark Gabriel. This is a fascinating read. Gabriel is a former Muslim who openly questioned aspects of the faith he was born into and as a result, was nearly killed by his govt and even members of his own family.

He eventually was shown the Bible and renounced his muslim faith, converting to Christianity, where he chose the Christian name Mark Gabriel. This is ironic considering he was once a professor of muslim studies.

This book is a real eye-opener, as Gabriel explains the quran in an easy-to-read text and given his unique perspective on muslim matters, it's compelling reading.

It also inspires some fear in me as the muslim faith is not to be taken lightly and many of them do believe in the most fanatical aspects of the religion. It's heartening to see that Gabriel saw the errors in the morality of the muslim religion and is living life as a good Christian.

I'm thinking of starting a thread for this book. I'd like to spread the word, so to speak, about Owen Meany.

Some of my favourite parts of the book are when Owen is Jesus in the Christmas pageant (and he gets up and screams at his parents in the middle of the play) and then when he's the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come in A Christmas Carol and he sees his own name and date of death on the gravestone.

I have read this book, although it was quite some time ago, and I haven't looked at it for a while. I should probably read it again soon.

I bought two new books, I Know This Much is True, by Wally Lamb, and The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. I haven't started reading either book properly yet, but both look promising.

I Know This Much Is True is about a guy called Dominick Birdsey, who has an identical twin brother, Thomas, who is a paranoid schizophrenic. With my interest in schizophrenia, I had to read it.

The Historian seems to incorporate the plot of Dracula by Bram Stoker.

[80sTrivia]

After finishing The Expected One, I’m now digging into a fascinating debut novel by Kentucky native Kim Edwards, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter. The novel explores the life of Norah Henry, who gave birth to boy/girl twins, one healthy, one with Down’s Syndrome, during a raging snowstorm in Kentucky in 1964. Unbeknownst to Norah, her surgeon husband dispatches their handicapped daughter to an orphanage and tells her that their daughter was stillborn. Needless to say, secrets and lies can never remain dormant forever, and further tragedies befall the family… okay, I won’t reveal anymore, but you can check out the book, already a major bestseller here in the United States and set to become a motion picture, over at Amazon:

I just finished reading it and HOLY COW, it was a really in-depth book on her being in the porn industry. I had no idea it was such an exhaustive and difficult industry to be in. Stripping is also a hard job... ya gotta look REALLY good, have the right clothes, but it really takes its toll on your body after a while.

Star Wars-Specter of the Past by Timothy Zahn

I'm reading two books at the same time...

The first one is 102 Minutes (http://www.amazon.com/102-Minutes-Untold-Survive-Towers/dp/0805076824/sr=1-3/qid=1162424525/ref=pd_bbs_3/102-1961019-9783353?ie=UTF8&s=books), by Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn. It's interesting as hell.

It's a book on how the people working in 1 WTC and 2 WTC reacted when the towers got hit on 9/11. I haven't gotten too far into it yet, but wow. Some of the stories in there are creepy, like how there were a bunch of people having breakfast at Windows on the World at the top of 1 WTC, and how a few of them decided to go down to the lobby. They were the last people to be in the elevator, and they departed Windows on the World at 8:44AM (two and a half minutes before 1 WTC was struck). Man... Creepy.


The second book I am reading is The Way the Crow Flies (http://www.amazon.com/Way-Crow-Flies-Novel-P-S/dp/0060586370/sr=1-1/qid=1162425839/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-1961019-9783353?ie=UTF8&s=books), by Ann-Marie MacDonald. Again, haven't gotten very far into it yet, but it's a pretty good read. :)

Deception Point by Dan Brown and Chill Factor by hmmm Sandra somebody?

Deception Point wasn't too bad...I liked the Langdon ones better. Then again, I can't find my copy of Deception Point, so I can't re-read it to appreciate it. It is better than Digital Fortress, I remember that.

As usual, I am reading like 15 books! I just finished House of the Sleeping Beauties by Yasunari Kawabata and Siddhartha by Hess.
