Is that about identity theft?
cool stuff...
A good book I'm reading right now is:
The Samson Syndrome

Basically, a book about why good, strong men (who seem to have everything going for them) fail.

Nope not identity theft, it is a thriller, keeps you turning the pages, suspense thriller.
Jeff, meant to say For you readers....here is a good book.

If you are into True Crime stuff... read "Careless Whispers" It is about the Lake Waco Killings...

I found it very interesting (maybe that's because I live in Waco and my dad went to school with some of the people in the book). The who did it was nuts to say the least. Good book!

Damn gloves we have a lot in common, I love true crime....serial killer type books, jack the ripper, etc... also love westerns, and hardy boys, even after all these years I still think the Hardy's rock. I read alot for work, dry scientific journal articles, so the true crime, Ripper, Helter Skelter type books are a welcome reprieve. I like Patricia Cornwell. Too tell you the truth I'm an avid reader, the bargain bin at the bookstore is my kind of place, of course I also read alot on woodworking one of my favorite hobbies. This Stealing Faces is a good book, easy reading, you should like it.

Damn you aint lying!
I love True Crime. I have a library of them. Two greatest True Crime books that Ive read in my life (and Ive read a bunch)
"I" The Creation of a Serial Killer
Every Move You Make
PJAggie:
Ill have to check that out. sounds good
For anyone who wants a good read try the "Dark Tower" Series by Stephen King:
The Gunslinger
The Drawing of the Three
Wastelands
The Wizard and the Glass
Wolves of the Calla
Song of Susannah
The Dark Tower
The best series I have ever read. Written by one of the greatest writers of our time. He considers it his masterpiece. He also manages to tie all of his books into this story.

Ive never read a Stephen King book. I hear they are great
My thing is though I started reading True Crime books first. And I think it would be really hard to read a fiction book now after reading so many true crimes

I read this book several years ago. I would agree that it was a very good book.
I mainly read WWII history now.

You'd be suprised. You get sucked in pretty good. Start with The Gunslinger, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

If you are asking about the Stealing Faces book, take a look at the amazon link and read the first review, that will give you a good indication. It will keep you turning the pages. Man we have a lot of readers now before it was just me and Polish! Larry McMurty is good too, have read Comanche Moon and reading Streets of Laredo now, have not read Lonesome Dove or Dead Man's Walk, but those are next on the list. Highly recommend the Stealing Faces though!:gig:

Well, some would rather increase their knowledge & some wouldn't.....not surprising.
If you like True Crime, read Blood Covenant by Michael Franzese. He is an ex-mob Captain that is living in the witness protection program in Cali. Great freaking book.
As far as overall great reads, try Shanks for Nothing by Rick Rielley. Good fiction golf book that keeps you laughing the whole time while turning pages faster than lightining.
