5.5 year grave digger!!!!!

Just read a non comic book for the first time in almost a year and a half and it was so good i had to dig up this thread. What are you guys reading?

If you have any interest in understanding autism and the feelings a caregiver/parent would have for these kids read this book. Its hilarious throughout. Also it explains exactly why i do what i do and work with who i work with even though most days im hit, scratched and bit. I read this in less than 24 hours lol.

I am just starting to get into books. I realized that reading books on my new smartphone is so much more convenient. I can read on the bus, right before going to bed in the dark....just any moment I get the urge....It is really helpful for those who have curiosity but lack the patience and attention span to give time to books. I recently read:

Auschwitz: A Doctor's Eyewitness Account
by Dr. Miklos Nyiszli

It is really great, the best thing about it is that it is a true real life story. It is about the first hand experience of a Jewish prisoner/practicing doctor inside Auschwitz concentration camp of Nazis, so you know what this book will contain.

I just recently downloaded a whole bunch of books on my phone. Anyone got any opinions about any of these in the list?....please let me know if u got some.
