ET Warrior Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 The Great Train Robbery is a great book. It's not science fiction, but it's a really good story nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinWalker Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinWalker Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaebginn Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinWalker Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaebginn Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 cool, I'll make a list and chec out a bunch of books from this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Windu Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 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.

yaebginn Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckcsaber Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Originally posted by Seph eye of the world...>> << 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.
