Wouldnt bother, it only tells the tale of a man who uses techniques, doesnt tell the techniques themselves. It is however a plenty entertaining read, and if you can ever be bothered to read any related materials from the 'gurus' it makes for some interesting psychology!

ah cool in that case i might order that as well as one or 2 others.

what are the best places to get books from? i'm guessing amazon or maybe play.com or are there any other dedicated book places?

cool... any suggestions of more medieval fantasy ie swords and kings etc?

Raymond E Feist, The Riftwar Saga. Followed by the rest of the books set in the same universe. It's in that vain.

The Reefer men, excellent book about smuggling Dope into the US during the 60's right up tothe 90's a truly good read. Lent it to a mate, he's loving it.

i've just finished reading Atlantis by David Gibbins and it's kinda stirred my interest to get another book. it wasn't the most thrilling read but i just want to read another book now so i don't end up putting it off again for so long....

i like....

lord of the rings, hobbit, da vinci code.

kinda like...

Atlantis.

i'm not a big fan of romance books but i like fantasy books but not weird humour ones like monty python etc. i'm not particulary keen on harry potter either as i've watched one film and couldn't stand it.

any suggestions as i have no idea who a good author is any more....

If you like the Da Vinci Code then Dan Brown's Digital Fortress isn't bad either IMO.
