 | The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Buy new: $9.79 / Used from: $3.00 I don't very often re-read a book. I read this one every few years. It doesn't take very long and its always fun.
|
 | I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell by Tucker Max
Buy used from: $2.49 This book is probably the closest to someone doing a biography about me that I will ever get.
|
 | The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists by Neil Strauss
Buy new: $23.75 / Used from: $17.69 I thought this book would help me. I'm in a huge drought this year anyway.
|
 | Taj Burrow's Book of Hot Surfing by Taj Burrow
Buy new: $24.95 / Used from: $8.50 I can't get past page 38, because after that he starts talking about what to do when you stand up on the board. I in no way blame Taj for my poor surfing skills.
|
 | Swansong: The Paul Kelly Story by Paul Kelly
Buy used from: $69.90 You'd probably have to be a Swans supporter to enjoy it, but it is a must read if you are.
|
 | Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game by Michael Lewis
Buy new: $10.04 / Used from: $1.51 How are they going to make a movie out of this? Its not like Numb3rs where they solve some crime in the end. Its basically just a lot of stats. I do love Maths though.
|
 | Occy by Mark Occhilupo and TimBaker
Buy new: $18.68 / Used from: $9.34 Very funny and uplifting at the same time.
|
 | Fight Club: A Novel by Chuck Palahniuk
Buy new: $10.04 / Used from: $5.09 It is very similar to the movie, so if you like the movie as much as I do you should read it anyway.
|
 | Survivor: A Novel by Chuck Palahniuk
Buy new: $10.04 / Used from: $5.50 Dark and funny. I like his old stuff better than his new stuff.
|
 | The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis
Buy new: $8.37 / Used from: $9.35 I really wanted the 49ers to draft Michael Oher after reading this. A classic rags to riches story if ever there was one. Had many lqtm moments.
|
 | The Two of Me by Andrew Johns
Buy used from: $128.91 Matty and Joey Johns are two of my favourite people in the world. This book goes a fair way to explaining the controversies surrounding Joey. Matty's will have to wait i guess.
|
 | The Outsider (Penguin Modern Classics) by Albert Camus
Buy used from: $3.67 Long time since I read it. Remember nothing about it.
|
 | 21: Bringing Down the House - Movie Tie-In: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions by Ben Mezrich
Buy used from: $0.01 I hear the movie sucks. The book is good though.
|
 | Doyle Brunson's Super System: A Course in Power Poker, 3rd Edition by Doyle Brunson
Buy new: $19.77 / Used from: $10.89 The bible if you are a poker player.
|
 | Busting Vegas: The MIT Whiz Kid Who Brought the Casinos to Their Knees by Ben Mezrich
Buy used from: $2.92 I can't remember the difference between this and Bringing down the house.
|
 | Rigged: The True Story of an Ivy League Kid Who Changed the World of Oil, from Wall Street to Dubai (P.S.) by Ben Mezrich
Buy new: $10.76 / Used from: $0.01 I have no interest in the subject matter, but I still thought the book was good.
|
 | A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby
Buy new: $10.08 / Used from: $0.01 I like the movies they make from Nick Hornby novels, but this is the only book of his I have read.
|
 | Choke by Chuck Palahniuk
Buy new: $10.17 / Used from: $5.65 I watched the movie the other day. I liked the book better.
|
 | Rant: The Oral Biography of Buster Casey by Chuck Palahniuk
Buy new: $10.17 / Used from: $2.74 A bit weird and far-fetched now that I think about it.
|
 | Love in the Time of Cholera (Vintage International) by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Buy new: $10.17 / Used from: $1.91 I read this because Ted Moseby talks about it on How I Met Your Mother. Took me a while to read it, but I thought it was ok.
