what are you reading?

James,

Have you read "In a Sunburned Country" by Bill Bryson. It's about his travels throughout Australia. I've read "A Walk In the Woods" or should I say I listened to it, and I would listen to it again. It was very good.

Since Stefan brought up reading books multiple times, I have read "the Hot Zone" by Richard Preston at least 6 times and it usually take me about 3 days to finish it. Nothing is new to me but there is something about ebola, and level 4 biohazards that fascinates me.

The last book I´ve read was a Terry Pratchett (German translation), but now I´m only reading thamnophis.com

I started reading that book in 1995 or -96 when the movie Outbreak came out, but I never finished.

I've read most of Bill Bryson's books, but I don't think I've seen that one. I'll look for it, Steve.

Can we use profanity on this forum?

just use common sense, be nice, and remember my daughter, the youngest member here, hears unspeakable things on the subway
last time this happened she was not happy about it

I think we'd all prefer not to, Rich. Mild stuff, in context isn't so bad. But nothing too profane, please.

hahah, okay James. I promise. Nothing bad.

The Pennsylvania part of the Appalachian trail is a bit west of me. If you do decide to do it, stop by. I'll buy you a beer.

I really do intend to do it one day... so I'll hold you to that, Rich!

[RZL36]

And I really intend to buy you a beer (or however many you want).

Ill do the same, the AT is about 30 minutes west of me (I'm in Charlottesville, Virginia). Ive crossed it with my jeep a few times, walked an hour or two of it. Different friends of mine have have done everything from day trips to week trips to almost the whole thing.

I just started "zen and the art of motorcycle maintainance"
