Any Good Books?
 

Can anyone suggest some good books?

Today was a long one. Work ran late, but I was able to snatch some killer sunset pictures in the park on the way to the gym. Then I get to the gym and in the middle of my workout they tell me I can't work out in a polo (popped collar), cargo shorts, and sandals. Bull**** if you ask me. I like to rock style wherever I go.

Anyway, I was thinking that the perfect end to this day would be to curl up with A GOOD BOOK. Does anyone have any suggestions? I hear sisterhood of the traveling pants is a good read. Maybe something from Oprah's list?

Battle Royale, but it'll only last you a few nights b/c its an awesome read

i like books, but is this a joke?

its not about the bike by Lance Armstrong. his autobiography pretty good book, one of my favs.

you sound mad, i'm sorry i didnt invite you sweetheart...
but i'm glad you made this thread because it might be a good place to ask for suggestions on how to most effectively waste my time by e-stalking someone... :wink:

Oh and since TST has some literary types... I'm in the middle of Rant by Chuck Palahniuk... really interesting style although it took a few chapters to get up to speed.

fear in loatheing in las vegas, fight club, scar tissue.

Harry Potter! That nigga's craaaaazy!

I've read some good ones at work LOL . Angels & Demons, In To The Wild, I am Legend.

i hope they serve beer in hell - by tucker max
only book ive found worth reading in 3 years

Stephen Kings Dark Tower series is good.
Robert Ludlums Bourne series

Ive read a few of the above suggestions, fight club, i am legend, angels and demons, all good.

Ive been meaning to read I hope they serve beer in hell, ive heard good things.

Scapegoat, battle royale is the one that was made into a movie right? on the island? That does look like a good read

Mechanics Tale By Steve Matchett - An inside look at being an F1 mechanic in 1980's and 90's
Audacity of Hope - Barack Obama.. Haven't read this yet but have heard its a good read.

On The Road by Jack Kerouac... my fav.
Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger... commonly read in HS, but totally good if you haven't read it already.

that must say a lot about a person

haha i was kinda thinking that :lol:

Definitely good, but you really have to be a reader to make it through the whole series, with how long it is. If you're a 'just one book at a time' kinda person, I doubt you'd make it through. It's also pretty complicated, and you really have to pay attention to what you're reading to connect all the dots throughout the series.

I'm a fan of everything by Stephen King -- his older stuff moreso than his newer releases.

If you're into sci-fi, psychological-ish stuff and military-ish stuff -- the latter of which I'm really not, which makes it odd that I'm enjoying the book -- I'm currently reading 'Ender's Game' by Orson Scott Card.

One book that I read a long time ago that was really striking to me -- maybe cause I was younger at the time -- was 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry. And another good one is 'Watership Down' by Richard Adams.

im not an ignorance douche when it comes to reading, i just cant find interest in books that easily.
when reading in school, it was like i was just reading words, not caring about what thy were saying...
just to clear that up a bit.

and tucker max is a complete asshole, but at the same time i think its funny reading about his "stories"

If your into classics; The Sun Also Rises, Hemingway
If you want politics with a spin; Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72, Thompson
If you want new age horror/mind****; House of Leaves, Danielewski
If you want some dry humor, with deeper meaning; Hocus Pocus, Vonnegut

There's a few, get to reading.

Yeah, I want to give Vonnegut a shot... some have likened Palahniuk's to his.

I've only ever read Hocus Pocus, but I have slaughterhouse five, timequake, and breakfast of champions chillin' in my unread pile...

what... is this... post... um, ok?

I recently picked up a handful of Charles Darwin's books. I got bored though reading through his journal entries while he was on the Beagle. I'm going to move onto the other books then go back to the journal.
