Books will NEVER be a dying breed. When a movie is made from a book...only about 60% gets in the movie....books will never go away. they're just too good...and when yall get older, yall will probably read more.

People read a lot less books these days than they did 20 years ago because the internet has so much more easy to access info. Not saying it's a good thing that books are losing popularity, but they are.

<span style="font-family:Arial">Lately, I have been reading Allen Iverson's book 'Only the Strong Survive' I'm not much of a book reader. I might pick up a good book that has something to do with basketball, but that's all I'll touch. I have a hard time getting interested in any book that doesn't have anything to do with basketball, I can't help it.I do read alot of magazines though, I love them. Slam, Cosmo, Maxim, ect.</span>

You guys should all read the book about the Suns, ":07 Seconds or Less" by Jack McCallum. Really interesting behind the scenes look at an NBA team.

</div>Let me know how it is...it's something I want to read as well to see what he's all about.

Yeah we've all seen the movie but now I'm reading the book. He's quite an interesting and smart man.

I'm currently reading the Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama as well as The Shia Revival by Vali Nasr. I just started reason some crazy crap called The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, which completely destroys all beliefs in any god. Basically some politcal garbage.

I just started reading a collection of short stories by J.D. Salinger by the name of Nine Stories. He wrote Catcher In The Rye, one of my most favourite books. Its a pretty short book. I just bought 4 books yesterday. I'll probably read them in succession. I got the forementioned Nine Stories, and then I also bought Peter Pan by Sir James Barrie, Civil Disobedience and Other Essays by Henry David Thoreau, and Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. I got all 4 for about $15. I really want to read The Rum Diary by Hunter S. Thompson. Thompson is one of my more favourite writers.

Im thinking about ordering this, but im not sure. If anybody has read it, what you think?

Right now, I'm reading 'To Kill A Mockingbird' in English class, but I like it. For simply pleasure reading, I'm reading 'When Nothing Else Matters', a book about Michael Jordan's second comeback to the NBA.
