netotse:

are Audio books that good? the idea of having some stranger read stuff out to me just doesn't cut it, plus i read fast so i'll prolly get impatient. Although i'd be willing to try mere christianity if it was CS himself reading it. . .anyone else is fa fa fowl.
but for real, is there anything gen-gen about audiobooks?

It is 'gen-gen' because it is C.S Himself reading the books with all the passion he wrote the books with.
Normally, I wouldn't do audio books.

i'll give it a shot. . .i dont mind trying new things _{especially when there's someone else to blame}

INFIDEL by Ayaan Hirsi Ali

what a memoir!

vescucci:

I'll advise you to drop the grisly Grisham cuz it's a sham of his norm. It's possibly his worst book to me.

are we talking about the same book here?

Audiobooks are ok, though it doesn't compare to actual reading. I find them useful on those long commutes when I'm too tired to turn pages.

Yes Yinka. The Chamber. The ending sucked. Pointless.

@Topic. Just finished In the Name of God. Took till the 3rd chapter to get engaging. Written like a textbook. Repetitive, but informative.

@Spicyhoney. Is that Infidel book that good? The woman looks like she never stepped a foot in Somalia. Reminded me of an episode of Lie to Me.

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins

that Dawkins eeehnnnn !!! >>> the guy too like controversy

^^^Unfortunately he also has a knack for being right most times.

@vescucci
Well, am still on the book, but so far its ok and seems revealing. Why do u think she never lived in Somalia? Books like this that reveals the negativity of a particular religion will definitely be seen as controversial especially if you are not reading with an open mind.

Its her memoir, so there's no way she could have included that part of her life to it if its not true. I bet memoirs are usually verifiable especially for someone like her who is known in the world.
(Mind u, am not her fan, a friend just told me about her and wants me to read her books)

I didn't mean she was dishonest. Far from it. I'm sure whatever happened to her is probably a tip of the iceberg. I'm not sure there'll be anything new in it.

ok!

@vesucci
which episode of lie to me?. . .which season?

I don't remember which episode but it's the first season. The guy that gets high on truth serum almost hit it off with the author but her lying truncated that possibility. The author of Infidel looks like the one in Lie to Me but I guess most Somalis probably look alike.

The one in Lie to Me might have been Sudanese. Same difference really

I'm reading 'DISGUISE' and every page of it gets more interesting. Just finished reading 'rant of ravens'

wow. you are always reading sha. how is your eyesight?
anyways, I liked The Road. kinda depressing though

Just finished Kane and abel for the third time. . .that book is gangsta'

Failing Forward. . thought provoking and inspirational

The book is very interesting, it dealt with some family related issues. Is a very powerful book i will recommend to every home, most especially, the firstborn of the family. The book has taught me so many things and i can not keep it from the people like you. The title of the book is "The Battle Against The Firstborn". You can get the book from the following link: http://www.firstbornredemption.org

Bleh. Nothing can redeem my kinda first born.

@Oyinda. The last few books I read are small ones. The Road is small too. Don't actually read much as it seems. Funny you should mention my eyesight for I was at The National Eye Centre today for a check up. The sexy lady doctor after having dyed my eye leaned so close peering into it, I thought she was gonna kiss me. Not an entirely problematic scenario.

@v
wey that national eye center? me sef one test my eye. . .
