    Seemed to be some interest so I thought I would start a thread on it.

    Talk about any book, famous, infamous, unknown. One your reading etc.

    One of my favs: "Lonesome Dove" by Larry McMurtry.

    For an enjoyable book you wouldn't think would be, try anything written by Jimmy Buffett.

    right now I am reading book 5 of the tomorrow series written by Aussie John Marsden.

    It is about these teenagers who went camping in a place called 'Hell' which is a secluded area no one really knows about except them, whilst camping Australia is invaded (*******s) and everyone in their town is captured except the teenagers and throughout the 5 books so far (out of 7) they are fighting for survival whilst trying to 'cripple' the invaders.


    I also hired Raymond E Feist new book 'Flight of the Nighthawks', he is one of my favourite current fantasy authors and have read every book he has written.
     
  4. Book??? What's that? Isn't that kinda like a movie or TV show that has been written on paper? :ha:

    Black Boy - Richard Wright (Top 10 book ever by my favorite author).

    Native Son - Richard Wright (Favorite book ever)

    Autobiography Of Malcom X - Alex Haley as told by Malcom X (A facinating book if not inspirtational)

    Blindness - Jose Saramago (Nobel Prize for Literature winner. Reading it right now; creative delivery/style and a great great read thus far).

    I like Terry Brooks, his Sword of Shannarah series. Kinda along the lines of Lord of the Ring. I also like David Balluchi books, they have made a few movies off of them as well.

    Band of Brothers by Stephan Ambrose is a classic too.
     
  8. I've always liked Tom Clancy thrillers.
