    im into my geeky books at the minute!

    im currently reading "The Art of Deception" by Kevin Mitnick. Its all about social engineering....some of the stuff people do is well mad, its a bloody class book!

    Its a good read for any1 interested in computer security/hacking/social engineering! (yeh, im a sad geek ;))

    Also reading Jeremy Clarkson "Born to be Riled" - its a collection of his writings. Also a good read!

    I read pretty much everyday, in the bath!!! :D Lush. Reading the latest Harry Potter again atm. Quite fancy reading Lord of the Rings again, but I know it'll take forever. :( I love Captain Correlli's Mandolin too, one of the best books Ive read. :love:

    At uni i'm reading pretty much every copy ever issued of the Law Quarterly Review (that's what it feels like anyway). At home i'm reading Don Quixote for the second time, my favourite book. Just finished American Pyscho yesterday, the books so much more fucked up than the film, and i thought the film was bad.:eek:

    You need to read Silmarillion b4 Unfinished Tales or The History of Middle Earth. His other stuff not based on the Hobbits is ok but aint as good
