Never have really been into reading for "fun". It always seems to put me to sleep. This is one thing I really want to start doing.

So...........if you want, post up some of your favorite books and a a couple sentence summary.

Thanks, losers.
 
Hmmm...I'm thinking we should start you out slow:

Hop In Pop
Green Eggs and Ham
Horton Hear's a Who

Should keep u busy for a few weeks.

You are VERY welcome too!
 
I refuse to dignify that.....you didn't put it in the format I asked for with a brief synopsis.

Women....good at giving directions, but can never follow them.

REPLAY
by GRIMWOOD

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/f...rev_pagepos1/103-8081494-1737468#rated-review

Basically a story about a guy that at 40 has a heart attack and wakes up 25 years earlier in his freshman college dorm room as a 18 yr old with all the memories of what happened. He takes advantage of the knowledge of things to come. Again at 45 he has a heart attack and again wakes up 25 years earlier but several months later this time. This happens many times and each time his life is a bit different.
 
Stephen King:

Insominia, The Stand, The shining and Christine.

YOUR THEORY SUCKS..WODIN DID NOT FOLLOW DIRETIONS EITHER! NAH..NAH..NAH!

The Sleeping Lady: Robert Graysmith- True story about Trailside murders in Ca. Bay area parks

The Mormon Murders: Steve Naifeh- True story about Greed,Forgery, deceit and death.

I also like ANYTHING Mr. King writes! Spooky stuff keeps me awake while reading it!

Yo go girl!

Read the Amazon summaries beastgirl.
 
I'll tell you what to read, and you can thank me later. Wodin had the right idea with the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. You won't put those down until you're done them. Trust me.

Another one you won't put down until you're done is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson. Read that. It's pretty short and you could read it in a total of 4 hours if you wanted to. So totally worth it.

Don't even read the rest of the replies to this thread, just go and get those books now.
 
Use to read a lot. It helps you to write better, unfortunately I don't have the time anymore.
 
I hate fiction.
I only read non-fiction (other than the posts here about peoples stats).

I would recommend Noam Chomsky.
 
what do you want to read about?

I like Call of the Wild by Jack London.

Harry Potter seems to be popular but I've never read it.
 
"Constantine's Sword" world's best history book. See the forces that shaped the world that preceded modern America.

"What If" and "What if 2" alternative histories

"The Victim's Fotune" negotiations between countries

"Guns Germs and Steel" Anthropological history
 
Have you tried Pop UP books. You turn the pages and they pop up with fold out pictures of bunnies and haunted houses and things. It's 3-D.

Sometimes they have little tabs you can pull to make animals legs move and birds' wings flap. :)

That's just the introductory courses sir. :)

But I recommend all those books highly. Knowldege is power.
 
Bringing Down the House
- about a group of MIT students who utilize team-play blackjack to beat the odds, and take the casinos for a lot of $$$.

A Brief History about Everything
- still reading, but so far so good. Basically he explains random stuff about how the universe started, and its limits, etc.


I didn't read a single book (except for computer books :: computer engineering major) from 11th grade highschool thru 3rd year in college. Summer after Junior year, I start reading. I enjoy smoking a lot of pot and then indulging myself in a book. Its INCREDIBLY RELAXING !!!
 
Fiction-

The Talisman- Stephen King and Peter Straub
-young boy flips between this world and another almost dreamworld to save his mother.. Great book, first Real book I ever read.


The Black house- Stephen King and Peter Straub
- this is a follow up to the Talisman, 20 years later. The boy in the Talisman is a grown up detective, retired, who is forced out of retirement to capture a child killer who has roots in the "territories", the alternate world he dealt with in the Talisman.


I tend to stick to Non-Fiction now, when I was younger it was a lot of William S. Burroughs, Clive Barker, Steven King.. I had to go back to fiction to read The Black House.. Im about half-way through it and it is great so far.

Hunter S. Thompson is fun to read too.
 
I'm reading an older book called "Sugar Blues" by William Duffy

"LIke opium,morphine and heroin, sugar is an addictive drug,yet Americans consume it daily in everything from cigarettes to bread..." Its a very informative and entertaing book about sugar addiction and how to beat it. I've read it before but its so good I'm rereading it. I also read everything Dean Koonz{sp} puts out. His books are all good.
 
The greatest books I have ever read are the sword of truth series by Terry Goodkind
Starts out with Wizard’s First Rule.
