I'm nearing the end of "Scar Tissue" by Anthony Kiedis, lead singer of Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's a pretty good book about his life and stuff, plus I love the band. I need a new book to read... I prefer real life events :p Recommendations?

It's the personal account of the guy who had to cut off his own arm because it was under a boulder.
Probably not an intelligent read, but it should be fun ;)

I've heard of it. Never read it though... reminds of something that would be on "I shouldn't be alive" :p

John Kennedy Toole - A Confederacy of Dunces

Not true but hilarious. And it's just a great book, won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction.

Real Ultimate Power - By Robert Hamburger

My review:
Robert Hamburger is an awesome author and his book had me TOTALLY PUMPED. It taught me everything I need to know about ninjas including how to fly, how to uppercut someone if they piss you off (then friggin' book), how to use bio-slime, and of course how to turn invisible and sprinkle pubes on them to make them TOTALLY embarrassed. I also found out how to tell if someone is a true ninja or just another idiot in black pajamas...which is bragable on my part.

I know some of you are probably going to say that this book is stupid or that I'm stupid for liking this book, but you are a stupid idiot if you think that. And if you ever came to my face with a posse of pirates and/or vikings and said that I was an idiot and that I wasn't a ninja, take it from Robert Hamburger and me, you'd be in for a huge surprise....how about a huge hippo six foot boner uppercut?!?!

After gaining my purple belt at the back of this book (maybe next time I'll get the black belt and become SUPER pumped) me and my buddies had a bunch of hot babes over to celebrate, there were guitars WAILING in the background the whole time we porked like thousands of babes....and it's all thanks for Robert and his cool book (and by cool I mean totally sweet). I now have the authority on the ninja topic and can recommend this book to anyone who is willing to get pumped and wants to become a true ninja.....AND WOULDN'T EVEN THINK TWICE ABOUT IT!!!
