      'The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle' (by Haruki Murakami, don't worry it's in English)

      READ THIS BOOK!


      ...I also like 'Invisible Monsters' by Chuck Palahniuk
      SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

          I'm going to be sad and childish here and say:

          The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 'trilogy'

          I can read these books over and over and they still give me hours of enjoyment and the occasional laugh out loud.

                  Fact or Fiction? I dont read much in the sci-fi, mystery type genre's. The book I am reading now is Stolen Valor abou Vietnam Vets who claimed they were medal winners and they really were not etc. Pretty interesting.

                  Another book I found interesting was WILL the G. Gordon Liddy writing

                  Anyhow, just a couple I have read recently, they are not new books, but pretty good.

                    I read the fundamentals of thought at least once a year.

                    I am not a Scientologist by no means, But i have been reading their material for years, and definitely agree with lots of points.

                    I have all the scientology books.

                    I just happened to have re-read that one recently, so I mentioned it.

                    I read tons of weird shit, thats what I do instead of the tv. heheh

                    Awhile back someone was posting about Hubbard, made me pick it up and give it ayet another read, its not that long, and I underline things on every page of a book I read, so its nothing to skim and take in the positive things it offers.... It definitely works, as I haventy had an illness in years.

                    And the rweactive mind definitely controls most people today, once you rid yourself of it, many things change.

                        Funny and strange (recently):
                        Douglas Copeland, All families are psychotic (good family reading)
                        Irvine Welsh, Shit (seriously disturbed shit)

                        Just nice:
                        Milan Kundera, Unbearable lightness of being

                        Thought provoving, simplistic:
                        Lance Armstrong, It's not about the bike

                        Absolute must reads:
                        Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
                        Richard Bach, Seagull

                        Religous (must admit, only parts):
                        Bible
                        Lotus Sutra (as translated by Burton Watson)
                        Koran

                        Classics I've found enjoyable on re-read:
                        Anna Karenin
                        War & Peace
                        Idiot (Dostoevsky)

                        ...

                        Reading beats XBox x 10 (whenever one has enough patience anyway...)

                                I have read many books, and at one time was going through about one a day and I totally have to agree with you on that.


                                now most of my reading is done online

                                    Fuck yeah man! Ever read the Dirk Gently stories? A friend of mine got it for me last Christmas. Also quite funny.

                                          Arguing whether the Democratic or Republican party is better is like debating which steaming pile of shit is slightly less stinky.

                                              It's just that I am always working so it just happens that everything that I read is online....usually industry related.

                                              What sort of suggestions are you looking for?

                                                                                    I recommend the Bourne Identity, and then follow up with the two novels after because they really give you a great story. I haven't seen the movie so I can't say if it compares, but when I saw Matt Damon doing Kung Fu moves.... well I wasn't impressed.

                                                                                    Also good stuff, Andy McNab. He has fiction and non-fictional books, excellent writter actually. His fiction books are very interesting. He's an ex-SAS sergant so some of ths stuf you read is pretty freaky

                                                                                          If you want philosophical books they're a tons of good one...But I've read a lot at college in philosophical class...so I was looking more for entertaining books for the holidays ;)
