    I read all kinds of stuff... havnt been smoking too much cuz i'm at home... but last time i read and smoked i was reading one of the "his dark materials" trilogy by Phillip Pullman

    their primarily intended for early teen readers... but I think an adult would like it more... their really excellent books...


    right now i'm reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand its really good and well written, but it reads a bit slow so its taking me a while...

    well, I have my house wired for satellite and my bedroom is wired to my garage. My bedroom has a Tivo type recorder in it and with a remote that goes through the walls I can watch and control the bedroom from the garage. I am currently in the garage smoking a cigar while my son is in my bedroom watching that tv. This way I can monitor his viewing.

    Lately I read cigar related material while smoking. Like the latest Cigar Aficionado. Or I will usually come online here and read while I smoke. I love to read something while I smoke though, that's for sure

I thought it was so good that I have since read Dan Browns 3 other books that I also highly recommend. Angels and Demons is probably even better than the DaVinci Code, especially if you like thrillers with the whole religious espionage background. I also couldn’t put down Deception point. Excellent thriller about NASA, a huge discovery, and a possible hoax. Great Great Great!!!!
    I actually read both books and thought Angel & Demons was better than DaVinci. I just ordered 3 more books from Half.com, 2 by Dan Brown and one other.

    I recently read Dead in the Water by Stuart Woods. Very good read I thought. Currently reading the latest issue of Cigar Magazine.

    Currently a Che Guevara biography! What else!!!!

    I can also definitley recommend the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Very very VERY funny!

    The Stand by Stephen Kind is also immensly entertaining (and if you can't be bothered to tackle its 800 or so pages you can always use it as a door stop to maintain your privacy as you enjoy your smoke!)

    As a Lawyer in Training, I usually research my cases while smoking. This might sound funny, but I enjoy an interesting Supreme Court decision when smoking a stogey.

    Is that the Jon Lee Anderson book? If you like Che stuff, be sure and check out the new DVD The Motorcycle Diaries. The film is in spanish and has english subtitles, but it's really good. He and a friend of his traveled all over South America, really gives you a good view as to how he came to view the world(however one sided) Definitely a keeper of a movie if there ever was one. Most of the foreign stuff is better these days IMHO.

    I'm a big Dan Brown fan. I'm about to start the Da Vinci Code. I wanted to read his other books to see if I really liked how he wrote before jumping in and reading his hyped up novel. I really enjoyed Angels and Demons.
