Draz Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 6 Jan 2007, 02:49 · [Salvaged from Archive] recomend a book :D
That Dude Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 6 Jan 2007, 03:15 · [Salvaged from Archive] If you a fan of fantasy literature, I recommend the Malazan Book of the Dead series. Deadhouse gates, especially, is an amazing read.
AllisterFiend Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 6 Jan 2007, 03:18 · [Salvaged from Archive] I'm reading Salem's Lot right now.. pretty good.

Clouds in the Sky Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 6 Jan 2007, 03:40 · [Salvaged from Archive] I'm NOT recommending A woman's Consciousness, A Man's World...those who know, know why hehehe

Big Ozzie Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 6 Jan 2007, 06:21 · [Salvaged from Archive] May I recomend HUSTLER originaly by Larry Flynt. There are new additions sent to your home monthly, it comes in soft back, so the useless pages can be used in yer outhouse, 'cept fer the glossy finish which causes it to slide smoothly across yer Bung Hole. It rolls up neatly an fits in yer back pocket so you's can read it later wen u vist yer Grams or the Local Pub. It also lays flat so's ya can hide it under yer pillow so's no one's steals it frum ya!
Snuff. Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 6 Jan 2007, 09:52 · [Salvaged from Archive] Anything by Louis de Bernierres's a treat. I've gone through three of his books consecutively in a week or so.
verticalkiller Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 6 Jan 2007, 10:26 · [Salvaged from Archive] The Regulators by that other name Steven king goes by, Stuart Bachman? Something like that. Currently reading: The Skeleton Crew and some other book i forgot the name of, its ok so far.
Fuck I'm Dead Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 6 Jan 2007, 11:34 · [Salvaged from Archive] I can spontaneously think of "The Stranger" by Camus. A quite short and compact storyline, easy to read and a very interesting protagonist. If you're into the whole nihilism/death-philosophy, this one's for you. It's about a man sentenced to death who is faced with the absurdity of life, briefly said. As if that blind rage has washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, I that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much life myself - so like a brother, really - I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again. For everything to be consummated, for me to feel less alone, I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they greet me with cries of hate.
PA Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 6 Jan 2007, 12:13 · [Salvaged from Archive] Harper Lee - To Kill A Mockingbird this is one of the very few books that i have read front to back...
tim2x Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 6 Jan 2007, 13:08 · [Salvaged from Archive] guess it depends on what you're into. Some of my favourites are- Sun Tzu, the art of war, John Ringo, any of his books, though his newest series is fiction regarding an ex-navy seal doing the things most would like to do, but can't because of military laws, and politics. Most of his stuff is sci-fi military/war.
DandruffBGone Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 6 Jan 2007, 13:42 · [Salvaged from Archive] "Alphabet". Written from the point of view of a guy who is in high security prison........(like your friends Draz! :D) This is blurb from the back: "Simon Austen is serving a life sentence for murder. Intelligent but illiterate, charming but also damaged and manipulative, he admits to what he's done but his motives are far from clear, even to himself. Then Simon learns to read and write. From his high security prison he begins an illicit correspondence with a serious of women. The more he learns about them and about himself - the higher stakes become".
DandruffBGone Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 6 Jan 2007, 17:04 · [Salvaged from Archive] Has anyone mentioned these?....... "The Haj" ...by Leon Uris. "Dogs of War" .... Freddy Forsyth (my favourite) "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus".......by Dr. John Gray is fun (and not so far off the mark) .....anything at ALL by Stephen King.

DandruffBGone Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 6 Jan 2007, 17:09 · [Salvaged from Archive] Haha Jaba. How are you darlin? Maybe this one then? Required reading for anyone married to someone who is sexually addicted, or is addicted themselves (or even suspects they might be). Addicted to "Love" .......by Stephen Arturburn. Also anything by James A. Michener.
DandruffBGone Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 6 Jan 2007, 17:14 · [Salvaged from Archive] Ace I just scanned you list....saw this: "Charles Darwin - The Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection" I read that Darwin recanted his theory of evolution on his deathbed. I will see if I can find the link. His studies were based on finches.

jaba Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 6 Jan 2007, 18:25 · [Salvaged from Archive] Translations are always open to interpretation pigs - Steinbeck is a better choice IMO.

Not much of a selection, had to be approved by the Captain and the Chaplain. We did a lot of book loaning and trading. I cant find where the wife filed it but to verify the name, something like The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Good fantasy book aimed at children also. Ace has some good suggestions. The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown Donald Trump - How To Get Rich ( you gotta be kidding us Ace. Did you really read that ) John Grisham - The King of Torts Isaac Asimov - I, Robot (Good book, fair movie) Dean knootz, (All good reads) Robin Cook (Medical Thrillers ) Ace forgot ___Stephen Coonts FLIGHT OF THE INTRUDER THE INTRUDERS FINAL FLIGHT THE MINOTAUR UNDER SIEGE THE RED HORSEMAN The Camel Club by David Baldacci _____________________ I got more but I'm outa time. Need my beauty sleep

Josh85 Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 8 Jan 2007, 11:39 · [Salvaged from Archive] Anything by David Gemmell.. man was a fucking genius of writing creativity. I loved reading any and ALL of his book series.. the rigante series.. the Druss series type ones.. with like SKilgannon and such... So easy to get lost in his writings... and I've never been a great fan of reading. And hell... every mate of mine I've convince to start reading his books, got hooked on them. Still can't believe he died. :( R.I.P man. The world is that little bit better for having the products of your brilliant mind for anyone to escape into. :D

Crossbones Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 8 Jan 2007, 21:06 · [Salvaged from Archive] I could name a few good reads: -The Dirt: Confessions of The Worlds Most Notroious Rock Band - Mötley Crüe Thats just a really insane book, even if your not a fan of Motley Crue, it just shows how hard people can party. -The Encyclopedia Of Serial Killers - Micheal Newton -Diary Of A Rock N Roll Star - Ian Hunter -Mein Kampf - Adolf Hitler Not that i look up to him or nothing, but its always interesting to learn about someone so messed up in the head. -The Art Of War - Sun Tzu Really great work. I think all military personel should read this, it really changes your mind about war. -Fargo Rock City : A Heavy Metal Odyssey in Rural North Dakota - Chuck Klosterman This is a great book if you feel left out about everything. -The Artist's Way - Julia Cameron This really opens up your horizons. And increases your creativity. -The Divine Comedy - Dante There's 3 works in the Comedy. All about hell, and how it works. A must, if your into spirituality, and religion.
