Default Good book! - 05-06-2004, 07:49 PM

Dude, where's my country? by Michael Moore, I just started reading it and it is a awesome book, I really suggest you pick it up. On the subject of good stuff, I watched a movie the other day called "Strip Search" it's about two people being held without their rights and freedoms for 24 hrs after Sept. 11, one girl is held in china, and a guy in the states, very good movie.

Catcher in the Rye was a very interesting book to say the least. The guy that it was about was pretty messed up tho.

Anybody read Grandfather's Tale Tale of a German Sniper by Timothy Erenberger?

It's a great book, tells the story of WWII through a German Sniper's eyes...really good book, learned a lot of stuff about the German army that I never knew about before.
