:D

you and your stupid backwards writing.

Read that a couple years ago. It's fun.
Yeah, I like it, too. Not entirely historically accurate, apparently, but it's got very memorable characters. And I worship at Flint's altar, because he offers so many of his books for free download.

The Divine Comedy by Dante

Deception Point By Dan Brown
The Communist Manifesto By Karl Marx

I also plan on reading Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler. No, I'm not a nazi. I'm just interested, it'll be an educating experience i'm sure.

1661 volume of Samuel Pepys diary

long time ago but people were not so very different - read yesterday that he was having problems with the builders who were putting a new staircase into his house :)

Be prepared for a VERY boring educating experience :D.

Wheel of Time Book 10 By Robert Jordan

Just finished readin - The History of British Kings and Queens.

Wheel of Time Book 10 By Robert Jordan
I gave up on the series after book 3.

Six Armies in Normandy John Keegan
War Without Hate John Bierham
Guns, Germs, and Steel Jared Diamond

I must confess I'm somewhat reluctant to delve into the latter book, I saw it in my local high school, and having read through several of the books they use for text, I can't say I'm expecting much.

Be prepared for a VERY boring educating experience :D.

I'm assuming you read it?

I'm assuming you read it?
As someone else who has read it, it is indeed very boring. Like you, the only reason I read it was curiosity.

Its a good series :(

As someone else who has read it, it is indeed very boring. Like you, the only reason I read it was curiosity.
Parts of it. After the first few pages, I sorta skimmed through it and only read the parts that didn't look quite as boring as the rest. Like you guys, I read it out of curiosity and historical interest. I expected to find it fascinating, since I'm very interested in the 3. Reich and history in general, but I was disappointed. I constantly had to remind myself that this is *Hitler*, otherwise it would have sounded like just another crackpot theorist publishing his shit on the internet.

Its a good series

It's not exactly bad, but it didn't hook me. By book 3, the plot seemed to be going nowhere in particular, and every female character seemed to have the same personality. Apart from that, I can't even remember much.

Q, by "Luther Blisset" (not the ex-footballer, but a pseudonym adopted by the mysterious quartet of Italians who wrote the book)
If on a Winter's Night a Traveller, by Italo Calvino

Six Armies in Normandy John Keegan
War Without Hate John Bierham
Guns, Germs, and Steel Jared Diamond

I must confess I'm somewhat reluctant to delve into the latter book, I saw it in my local high school, and having read through several of the books they use for text, I can't say I'm expecting much.

I read Guns Germs and Steel Its actually not too bad once you get into it.

Strangely enough, Syrup by Max Barry. It's really very good!

I just got The Reality Dysfunction, by Peter F. Hamilton. It's one chunky volume.

Heaven and Hell -- John Jakes....

Red storm rising by Tom Clancy.

ive been reading sci-fi.

1984-George Orwell

Fahrenheit 451-Ray Bradbury

Brave New World-Aldous Huxly

all great books.

The NationStates forums as well as Page Sources from the 6 www.thisisnotporn.com pages I've accessed. That's what I'm reading.

1984-George Orwell
There is a chapter in that book where the main character and his sex partner in crime are reading from this book which basically gives a summary of everything you've learned so far about the government...I never read that chapter because I figured I already knew all of it from reading the rest of the book. Did I miss anything?

"The Amber Spyglass", by Phillip Pullman. Part of the His Dark Materials trilogy. I gather that it's mainly aimed at a younger audience, but it's really compelling fantasy writing for any age (kind of like Harry Potter in that respect, I suppose).

The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
A Seperate Peace by John Knowles.

Jurassic Park- Micheal Crichton and The Wish List- Eoin Colfer

The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
A Seperate Peace by John Knowles.

I didn't particularly like A Seperate Peace, maybe it was becuase I had to read it in high school, but I never liked it, now the Education of Little Tree, that was a good book in high school

Hustler. :gundge:

No seriously, Lord of the Rings. For the, er, fourth time I guess. Revisiting childhood I guess. Makes me miss the time when the movies weren't so mainstream.

"The Amber Spyglass", by Phillip Pullman. Part of the His Dark Materials trilogy. I gather that it's mainly aimed at a younger audience, but it's really compelling fantasy writing for any age (kind of like Harry Potter in that respect, I suppose).

Excellent series! I like it better than Harry Potter, actually.

The Stand Stephen King
Emperor Conn Igulden
The Ideas that Conquered the World Michael Mandelbaum
I hope I suceeded in underlining the titles.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone here ever read the Thrawn Trilogy or Hand of Thrawn duology by Timothy Zahn, I love reading those books over and over, but I must buy a new copy of the Last Command, damn dog.

I just finished "Galapagos" by Kurt Vonnegut and "American Military History, Vol. 1". Right now I'm reading "American Military History, Vol. 2", and next up is "The Guns of Navarone".

Just out of curiosity, has anyone here ever read the Thrawn Trilogy or Hand of Thrawn duology by Timothy Zahn, I love reading those books over and over, but I must buy a new copy of the Last Command, damn dog.

Both series, several times. Zahn is the best Star Wars writer out there.

I also read The Guns of Navarone That started slow, but got really good.

Right now I am reading "Cuba: An Outlaw Culture Survives" by Ben Corbett

Next I plan on reading:
"Island" by Aldous Huxley
"Stupid White Men" and "Dude Where's My Country" by Michael Moore
"Henry Ford and the Jews"
and about 4 books on the Tutor family (King Henry VIII and his wives and daughters)

I just finished reading Syrup by Max Barry, and although I didn't like it as much as Jennifer Gov't, I still loved it! I also finished reading "The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11" which is 9/11 from the viewpoint of Gander, Newfoundland, Canada where their town more than doubled in size with stranded passengers. It was really interesting!

Wheel of Time Book 10 By Robert Jordan


Oh GOD.

I used to like him. THen I found out that he's really just milking the series for all it's worth. I swear, the next book is gonna be titled "Rand and His Friends Have a Little Tea Party!" It's going to start with the first chapter talking about the world blowing up, and the rest of the book will be about how Rand and his buddies sit on their ass and do NOTHING.
