hey, im a little bored so i am posting this.

i am reading bonfire of the vanities, i have to for school but i have been wanting to read it for a while. i have to say it is one of the best books i have ever read. i really liked barbarians at the gate(a great book for anyone that likes business) and the right stuff. but this book, i just love the depth, the stories comming togather, the story line. tom wolfe is a great writer, i plan on reading more of his work soon.

anyone else have the same feelings about this book.

Yes, Tom Wolfe. Also read his The Right Stuff and A Man in Full.

A Very Big Ditto!!!!!!!!

I love Tom Hanks and Bruce Willis, but Bonfires has to 1 of the worst movies ever made.
Again you have been warned. I just wish somebody had warned me.(yeah, like I would've listened. Ha)

If you chance it anyway, you'll have no one to blame but yourself. :)
