I just finished reading Lance Armstrong's autobiography (is it still an autobiography if it's written by a ghost writer?) and although I'm sure everyone's probably been told to read it by someone else before I would really recommend. Inspirational yadda yadda but just a good read all in all.

I recently finished this:



It was ace. Absolutely fascinating. I wonder if he'd have got away with it today?

Now reading this, which is equally fascinating and disturbing, albeit in a totally different way...

Not an obsession, just an interest. I like mysteries.

Have recently finished The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller.  This was quite good, although it lost its way a bit in the end by taking the goodwill built in the reader down a few implausibility avenues (Implausibility? You're reading about a crime-fighter in a suit you numbskull!).

Now, I'm reading Hong Kong Action Cinema by Bey Logan, which, as the title suggests is a enthusiastic and intelligent trek through Hong Kong's martial arts stars of the past and includes appreciations of other Chinese cinema genre staples - Heroic Bloodshed, Vampire Horrors and Comedy Capers. The book has also been responsible for a recent burst of dvd buying.

The author Bey Logan himself, who's English by the way, provides a series of energetic and knowledgeable audio commentaries to a number of classic films from these genres on dvd. Sometimes they prove more entertaining and informative than the films themselves.

I recommend a dictionary.

I've been reading the Twilight series. They are soo good!
