If you a fan of fantasy literature, I recommend the Malazan Book of the Dead series. Deadhouse gates, especially, is an amazing read.
AllisterFiendSalvaged from archive6 Jan 2007, 03:18
I'm reading Salem's Lot right now.. pretty good.

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!

Anything by Louis de Bernierres's a treat. I've gone through three of his books consecutively in a week or so.

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.

Harper Lee - To Kill A Mockingbird this is one of the very few books that i have read front to back...
tim2xSalvaged from archive6 Jan 2007, 13:08
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.

"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".

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.

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.
DandruffBGoneSalvaged from archive6 Jan 2007, 17:14
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.

Translations are always open to interpretation pigs - Steinbeck is a better choice IMO.

I spent 8 years in the navy and when your out to sea there isn't much to do but read or play cards. Whats wrong with Harry potter?? I've read the first 5 books. My honey got me the 6 book set for christmas. So now I'm going back through and rereading them so that when book 7 is released I can go right to it. Psss, I took a speed reading course some years ago, so I'm a fast reader.

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.

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

I have just started "A Woman of Egypt"....biography of Jehan Sadat (Anwar's old lady). Looks interesting. You might like the series of romance novels my wife is reading by Lori Foster. About the Winston brothers. They get pretty graphic, almost pornagraphic. She's read me some excerpts and they can get pretty hot n heavy.

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.

Letters to My Son: A Father's Wisdom on Manhood, Life, and Love Kent Nerburn. http://www.amazon.com/Letters-My-Son-Fathers-Manhood/dp/1… From a review: "Like any fatherly advice, some parts do not go down easy. They may sound like words from another era, of someone who's not quite in touch with your generation. But on deeper reflection, they echo a timeless truth, and speak of eternal principles that guide our lives".
