Dear All ;D

In an effort to get to know each other a little better, I thought I would put this topic out there.

What book is each of you reading now?

What is your top televion show?

What is your top movie?

for me its - never quite a soldier by David Lemon, re-read and the "Business General"
favourite show of all time has got to be NCIS, followed very closely by "My Family"
favourite movie of all time a major toss up between the Siege" with Denzel Washington and Bruce Willis or"We Were Soldiers" with Mel Gibson

not reading anything now, but last book read was the true account of Staff Sargeant Jack Greef (about recce operations) the book is called "the greater share of honour"

Favourite TV show, the all time best has to be "law and order"

one that was not mentioned was best series :) this clearly is a toss up between "over there" and "the unit".

best movie, wow theris is a tough one, so many good ones. id have to say of the latest ones, 'Shooter' or 'Black Hawk down' and of the older ones id vote either 'Sniper' or 'Full Metal Jacket'...

Book - Not much of a reader and in general do not read books.

TV/Series - Only have SABC 1/2/3 and ETV and don't care to much about the rest (That R400 to R500 /month for DSTV relates to some nice extra shooting) I prefer programs like 'Law and Order', 'NCIS', 'CSI'. Recently watched the 'Dr House' series on DVD and enjoyed that.

Movies - Patriot and Bravehart by Mel Gibson was excellent as well as 'Elizabeth the Great'. Prefer action like 'Black Hawk Down' and those types of movies and I love the animations like 'Ice Age' and 'Toy Story'. The 'chick' movies is reserved for when I need to increase the share value with the wife ;D ;D ;D

I have just started rereading Generation Kill by Evan Wright. Favorite series has to be The Simpsons.Favorite movie is a tough one probably between The Boondock Saints and The 13th Warrior.

Book: not reading a book right now (textbooks and articles don't count). The last one I read was "In search of Schrodinger's cat", but I'll have to read it again - forgot most of it by now.

Show: Too many to list. I like animated shows. I'm split between American Dad and Family Guy (Get the episodes from friends). Top Gear and Lost are also a favorites.

Movie: I don't have a favorite, but the last good one I saw was Street Kings
