mugwump Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 What with all the clubbing most people do in here I'm surprised if any of you can squeeze in a book into your lives.I'm still trying to finish THE TWO TOWERS by Tolkein (It's alooong series but I'm enjoying them very much never the less)And onh my book shelf I have the DUNE series waiting for me..Yea, I know; "Mugz stop with the escapism" your saying but HELL.... books can take you to places that no drug ever could. What's YOUR literary high of the moment? :book:... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barvybe Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 ...anything by Rick Bass or Jim Harrison. Really think you'd like them. They are modern american writers. My favorites are Sundog (sooo awesome), farmer, wolf, etc. Jim Harrison wrote Legends of the Fall, but that's really not his best. Also read the Red Tent recently (can't remember the author). Its about the time of Jacob, but written from the perspective of the women (like Rebecca and Leah). Really interesting if you know bible stories at all (and its NOT a religious book at all).Read the Tolkein stuff so long ago - my dad had a first addition hardcover with these big ass pull out maps in the back - he taught me to read using them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heretic909 Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 I'm re-reading "Lords of Chaos" again. It's a historical look into the Norwegian black metal scene and the crime wave that accompanied it. I'm also reading "Problem Solving & Program Design in C" but I suppose that doesn't really count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How great is that book? I read it over a year ago and am contemplating reading it again. Did you see the movie "Party Monster" - it is about the same subject....

I read that book too not too long ago. I couldnt put it down! It was a great book. IF you are intersted in learning about tthe club scene in the early 90's you definetly need to read it. :book: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldoan Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 "Catcher in the Rye" is my favorite book and I keep reading it over and over because I find new shit everytime I read it.

It's actually one of my company's best-selling titles! It's good, and I'm not into religion at all. I just really enjoy stories that take a minor character from some other book and make an entire novel based on them. Right now I'm almost finished with Pandora by Anne Rice. It's number six, I think, in the Vampire Chronicles. I haven't read her in years; it took a little while to trudge through her flowery writing style, but now I'm enjoying it. When I'm finished I'm re-reading the first three books in the series and then reading all that follow Pandora (I didn't care much for #'s 4 and 5). I hear the latest one is really good!

So, do u get a big fat discount! hehe!Yeah, an old girlfriend of mine recommended it (Red Tent). I was a little skeptical - religious topic, recommended by someone who reads sappy shit, etc.It was really cool! You forget that Old Testament stories are FULL of sex and violence and doublecrosses, and shit like that! It it was a whole new perspective....

My office is always a mess, I'm drowning in books over here!Yeah, I love that "whole new perspective" aspect- it's cool reading a contemporary novel that was based on an older one, everything's so much more explicit. As a member of the MTV generation, I need sex and gore or it can't hold my attention, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chula22 Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 I just finished reading Darkfall by Dean Koontz. I have read and I own almost all of his books. They are soo good. They are murder/mystery/funky scientific like. Along hte same lines as Stephen King, except kings books tend to be more long winded. The only Stephen King book That I read and actually enjoyde was desperation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
