What are some of your favorite books?[views:14043][posts:63]_________________________________________ [Feb 28,2013 10:18am - my_dying_bride ""] [img] pretty good book written about art heists of Rembrants a lot of the stories are from museums here in mass. One of the theifs, Al Monday currently sells cars in the framingham area. A lot of local landmarks mentioned in mass if that intrigues you. It tells the story of the infamous Gardner heist, all the way back to heists from the 16th annd 17th century. it's actually written by the (current) director of security at the Gardner. Good read. |

Dickson - A post-apocalypse American travel story based on actual wilderness survival and animal behavioral science, and not zombies or radiation. Good read, Dickson has written other scifi stuff which I haven't checked out. Just finished The Road a little while ago, this sounds like my next read. Lots of good suggestions in this thread, I might have to get back into audiobooks. |

Fun factoid: Jared Diamond (supposedly) set the field of membrane physics back a decade or two for being so opinionated and loud that no other academics would challenge him, and he ended up being proven wrong many years later. |
