[yaebginn]

[Evil Dark Jedi]

Read the other spoiler tag

[yaebginn]

cool, I'll check it out at the libirary. whos the author?

[Evil Dark Jedi]

Jean Rabe

[El Sitherino]

I'm probably gonna get guff for this but...

 

Michael Moore's Stupid White Men

 

and

 

Al Franken's Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them

 

and

 

 

Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club

[yaebginn]

I might read some just for humor and to see his lies. I havent read many political books in a while.

[ET Warrior]

The Great Train Robbery is a great book. It's not science fiction, but it's a really good story nonetheless.

[yaebginn]

what about...

 

1.The Andromeda Strain

2.The Terminal Man

3. Eaters of the Dead

4. Congo

5.Sphere

6. Rising Sun

7. Disclosure

8. Airframe

 

Those are in the front of prey, and I wondered if they are any good and what are they about.

[SkinWalker]

I must say that Congo and The Sphere are examples of two books that were DEFINATELY better than the movies. The movies ruined the both of them.

[yaebginn]

descirbe sphere, I never heard of it.

[El Sitherino]

I loved eaters of the dead.

[yaebginn]

whats it about?

[SkinWalker]

Its been years since I read it.... but a psychologist is the main character and he gets called in to investigate a "plane crash" that turns out to be a spaceship that's been under the sea for centuries, covered in coral.

 

After the investigators get into it, all hell breaks loose.

 

That's about all I can remember. I *do* remember that when I read the book, I couldn't put it down, but when I saw the movie I was willing to leave the theater to hit the john and grab another coke.

 

Go read my first pick on page 1 of this thread instead. You can pick it up at a used book store in trade paperback for about $5 or less.

[yaebginn]

but I'm a cheapo, so I'll just get it from the library. Hey, skin, can a mod ban u for posting in a thread? if u dont cuss or say anything even remotely bad?

 

EDIT-watership down and plague dogs. both pretty good

[SkinWalker]

That one is definately in the library. Look up Sagan, Carl and you'll find it listed.

 

Actually, I'm working on a Carl Sagan collection (as well as Dawkins, Gould, and Feynman). He was very prolific science writer prior to his death, as was his wife, Anne Druyan. His writing is very much for the lay-person, too. Not solely for the science crowd.

 

As to your question: 1) Check the rules or; 2) post it in the feedback section. I'm hesitant to get off-topic that way in a thread like this.

[yaebginn]

cool, I'll make a list and chec out a bunch of books from this thread.

[ET Warrior]

Andromeda strain is VERY entertaining, it's about a group of scientists trying to learn about a highly deadly strain of virus that arrived from space.

 

Airframe was also a really good book, not science fiction, but a pretty good mystery/thriller.

 

Congo and Sphere, like Skin said, were fantastically better than the movies. The movies sucked, but the books were AWESOME.

 

The other ones I have not read yet.

[Mike Windu]

1) The Once and Future King

2) The Count of Monte Cristo

3) HP series

4) All Quiet on the Western Front

5) Animal Farm

6) Cold Sassy Tree

7) LOTR series

 

I'll add more as I remember them.

[sadisticmonkey]

This is gonna create cries of insults but: I don't like the lotr books:eek:

 

There was too much discription and, for me, it took too long to get anywhere.

I didn't read the LOTR books, but I know what you mean. Too much description can be boring.

[yaebginn]

Bought Congo, Andromeda Strain, Terminal Man, and Great Train Robbery all for 4 bucks. I checked out Lost world and Jurassic park from the library. also, John Stossel's Give me a Break. I'm currently reading that and it is a very good book. Intelligent, and gives you a better understanding of the world of media. I suggest it.

[Sabretooth]

Pappilon by Henri Charriere (sp?)

A Study in Scralet - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

All books by the great God Tolkien

Dracula - Bram Stoker

Yeah, that's a good one. Actually, books 1-7 are good.

 

 

 

 

I just reread the entire Hannibal Lecter trilogy. I recomend them if you want to read about criminal psychology. It's pretty interesting and entertaining.
