Guest Booger Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 Fiction: Stephen King's books from the 70's-->90's are all pretty darn good. Brahm Stoker's "Dracula" good story. Non-Fic: "Low Level Hell" by Hugh Mills---Viet Nam scout pilot real story, changed the way I fly and probably saved my life this past year :angel: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cronocrash Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 oooh i totally forgot to add some awesome books. remember, the movie is good. the book is *far* superior. Modern Classics/Literature: Anthony Burgess - A Clockwork Orange If you can find an older copy of this book it will have a dictionary of all the slang terms used in the book and movie. Horror: Stephen King - The Shining (my fav Stephen King so far (movie rule also applies here [Jack Nicholson o.g. movie, i fail to acknoledge the existence of any other Shining movie])) MoLoKo VeLoCeT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest culinist Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 I think reading for me is like an addiction. I have to have a book with me at all times, just in case. I'm terrible at waiting around for something, so I read. Never bored, always entertained:) Do you folks re-read books? My favorites I can read over and over. It's like visiting with old freinds. I've had to re-read the Wheel of time a few time because ther eis so much goin on that I forget alot of it in between book releases.

Luc@z Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 I can't even begin to pin down my favorites, so here's just a few off the top of my head. John Irving - "The World According To Garp" (just finished it and liked it quite a bit) also, "A Prayer for Owen Meany" etc C.S. Lewis - Space Trilogy (Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength) Frank Herbert - Dune Series (The originals, not the new ones his son is doing. I can see too much of Kevin Anderson's influence) John Steinbeck - "Grapes of Wrath" and "East of Eden" etc Culinist- David Eddings - The Belgariad , The Mallorean , The Elenium, The Tamuli, The Redemtion of Althalus Thank you so much! Someone suggested that series to me something like 4 or 5 years ago and I'd forgotten what the titles and author were. Every once in awhile when trying to think of something new to read I'd think about it and get irritated that I couldn't remember. I'll copy that to my list of books to read so I won't lose it again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
