which book are you reading now?

Red_Pope - You are only confined to your confession booth only. Try to travel a bit and learn some thing rather than spending your time in Ramada Sports Bar. OK

I have just read Atonement

It begs the debate:

You can repent your wrong doings but can you ever atone for them?

DG

I crossed the border from Burma into Udon T...... v. interesting area.

Finally getting to Bangkok 8. Quite the page turner!

Did you dance with them in shorts and flops at the beat of Johnny walker?

Will see what new heavenly habit you pick up from them.

The Red Pope of Qatar Living

Do not invite death by the error of your life, nor bring on destruction by the works of your hands; because God did not make death, and he does not delight in the death of the living. Solomon Chapte

DG - When we visited the Myanmar border we went to see a refuge camp of Karan tribe. heavyly guarded. No man around. only women and children. it is like modern day living hell.

Reading Gerrards (Steven) autobiography.

really cool

Richard123- Where have u been?

by Richard Dawkins. I am about halfway through and it is interesting. Dawkins comes across as a pompous ass and I don't think he proves anything. Good read all the same.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

我听见 我忘记; 我看见 我记住; 我做 我了解。

You can't understand until you walk a mile in someone else's shoes.

read Private Dancer. Also reflects Bangkok's Nightlife.

Ooh, I'm definitely going to have to pull John Burnett's works off the shelf to read next. I just finished with Running With Scissors. Quite the read.

Is it just me, or does the weather entice one to stay inside and read continuously? I've been flying through books like nobody's business...

Alexa- I bought Bangkok Tatoos and finished reading half of it. It is a true reflection of the Thai soceity. Trust me.

I'm pretty sure of that ... because again .. I have to :)

Wait a tick! You just told me via PM that you hate reading! How could you like reading QL, then, since it involves reading? :D

(Yes, of course I'm trying to wind up DaRuDe...)

Qatarliving.com site

[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

I'm currently reading Running With Scissors and Rashomon and Seventeen Other Stories, as well as the Lonely Planet New Zealand (going in April for a conference!)

I just finished Love You to Bits and Pieces (the story about the pianist from Shine) and American Fuji (Sara Backer).

Bangkok Tattoo-- have it on the shelf, haven't read. I also have Bangkok 8.

Offload some of your old reads-- check out the Monthly Book Auction thread!

I'm reading "Infidel" by Ayaan Hirsi ali. Picked it up last weekend from Virgin

Alexa - where to get a copy of Bangkok Tatoo

You can't teach experience...

Hi wyp,

Third class ticket is written by Heather Wood. It's published long time before, in 1980.

Think2

Recently finished 'Salmon fishing in the Yemen', it's really funny. Think Twice - who's the writer of Third class ticket? Does anyone have the 'In Death' series by JD Robb?

This is a good read. It defends the faith and shows how it can stand up against the growing atheist voices (Richard Hawkins, Sam Harris, etc.) I wonder if Darwin knew what trouble he would leave in his wake (with people misinterpreting him).

It does make some claims that I can't believe. Are they true?

(1) The modern idea of marriage came about with the advent of Christianity. Before that, love was definitely out of the question in marriage. Family/tribal/economical/political arrangements were the key to marriage.

(2) Policial "checks and balances" came with the advent of Christianity.

(3) The desire to invent inventions & find laws about nature came about with Christianity.

Hi,

I usually read a few books at the same time as I don't have the patience to concentrate on one :o) Now I am reading Ernest Heminway's the old man and the sea.

It is one of my 5 'all time favourites'. The others are:

- The human consequences of urbanization (academic)

- Third class ticket (travel journal)

- Small is beautiful (academic)

- The dating game: one man's search for the age of the earth (sorry, academic again)

One of my 2008 goals is to re-read these books. I am confident that it could be accomplished because I am living in Doha ...

Think2

Can I borrow your biggest and heaviest book? I would like to place your head inthe open pages and then SLAM that thing closed and watch the squirting fireworks show :P

And your hippo book must be a very fascinating read...those are such beautiful witty creatures ;D
