What was the last book that you read for pleasure?

[ufcrusher]

What was the last book that you read on your own volition?

As for me it was Anne McCaffrey's Dragon's Kin. Before that it was Chris Rice's Snow Garden.

So what has everyone else been reading?

Whoops, I just looked at that thread, I thought you were referring to one from a long time ago. I was getting married the day that thread was posted. At least I have a valid excuse.

:heh:

Actually, I just read a book about coaching youth soccer. Exciting stuff! I've ordered the new Arianna Huffington book, so I'll be reading that soon.

And, because I know you want it, here's the link for that "other" book (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1573440280/qid=1080790193/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-8810997-0186516?v=glance&s=books)

[Cantacuzene]

Augustus by A.M.H. Jones
O City of Byzantium, Annals of Niketas Choniates

Both quite good.

Oddly enough, I found it on a "Customers who bought the SiPix digital camera (the really small one) also recommended...The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women." I used to have the web page saved, because I knew it wouldn't last.

HEY IT IS! :)
I'm a coach and have been for a long time..if you need any pointers let me know!
btw
I'm reading an oldie but a goodie -TRINITY-(I'll have to go look at the book to find out the author-its about ireland).

[gear02]

Last book? Hmm...

Who's your caddy by Rick Reilly (SI). It's really good, and the part about John Daly's...erm...john is quite funny.

Read a bunch of Calvin and Hobbes Collections, and a GMAT book.

I'm not a big reader, but I want to find more Who's Your Caddy type books. I don't find good books that interest me very often, but once I do, I don't put it down until it's done. Skipped work to read Harry Potter 5 (was sick...but reading was better :) ).

[revil]

the last book i read was enders game. that was sunday. last night i started Speaker for the dead. that should be finished tonight. why didn't anybody tell me about this before?

[blueindian]

I'll finish A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson today.

[cheapchinese]

rereading an old chinese martial art story...
yi tian tu long ji - (the story of yitian sword and tu long blade) by jing yong

its pretty popular if your chinese...
but the words are so hard.. i'm like bugging my friends every 10mins... even though i read it before, but the chinese in there is just impossible for me.

anyways...it kills time:D

I'll take any pointers you want to give. I'm working with kids 6-8 (in the soccer world we call it U-9). I've coached other sports before, but soccer is difficult because I never played it growing up.

The things that I have the most trouble teaching them are 1) don't bunch up around the ball, 2) get in FRONT of the ball when we're on offense.
