Blood on the Risers !

The Bible ;)

If you like Horror/Thriller sort of stuff, just about anything by Dean Koontz is good.

I had the same idea :thumbsup

Harry Potter 5 :winkwink:

The Count of Monte Cristo

(much better and complete than the movie)

:thumbsup

I've got several hundred books. What kind do ya like to read? I just finished Tom Clancy's "Clear and Present Danger" and that was pretty good.

Becky Bloom :winkwink:

Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell them. :thumbsup

Ask for my Amzaon code if you are really going to buy it. :winkwink:

If you like Fantasy Check out the "Fire and Ice" Trilogy by George R.R. Martin. First book is called 'A Game of Thrones'

i read anything exept for politic and horro/vampire books.

Planning to check out Tom Clancy's stuff.
Wonder how much of it he pulled outa his ass.

Help you is right.

That's a great book.

Tropic of cancer

This is a very good series of books. George R.R. Martin is probably one of the most underappreciated geniuses in science-fiction. Read his short stories (Sand Kings, Fast Friend, The Way of Cross and Dragon, many others) and check out his older novels (especially read "The Last Master"). I would say George R.R. Martin is one of the top 10 all-time best science fiction and fantasy writers.

Also, you don't want to miss The Wheel of Time. Books 1-6 are some of the most amazing fantasy books I have ever read. The world and the societies Robert Jordan has created are epic beyond almost anything else in print. Books 7-9 are good but he seems to be having trouble balancing all the seperate stories he has going on at once. I haven't read book 10, yet, but I will get around to it shortly. (The first two novels in the series are The Eye of the World and The Great Hunt in case you can't find them under the name The Wheel of Time).

when you suggest a book, can you please write what it is about ?
just a few words.

thx

Crime and Punishment:


The inner struggle of a rational man that rationalized killing a women for money and mentally breaks down to the point where he ends up in a Siberian jail and realizes the meaning of life.


That's all.

Artemis Fowl series

Oh, Lord, if you know what's good for you, you will <I>stay away from this book</I>. This is the only book on the entire planet that has completely resisted my efforts to wade through it (although Atlas Shrugged gave it the old college try). Crime and Punishment is as dense as four-day-old cheese.

I have always suspected that Crime and Punishment may suffer from translation problems but since I only read English, I may never know for sure.

"Programming Windows 5th Ed" by charles petzold. i've only read bits and pieces, but it's claimed to be the be-all in windows programming. it's pretty good, from what i've read. it's REALLY thick tho. :warning

The sorrows of young ......

There are alot out there like you.

Key is to get past the first 100-120 pages.

:winkwink:

I read it in three sittings. 120/450/100.

Or there abouts.

:)

Napoleon Hill's "Think and grow rich"

Thank me later!

oh yeah, and anything by peter van der linden. he's smart, and hilarious. i've got "just java", but i hear "deep c secrets" is awesome. you can't miss the book, it's bright orange with a big blue fish on the cover. get it? "deep c secrets". ahahaha. great times.

I can only put up with so much of Raskolnikov babbling to himself and other drunks about a seemingly endless array of boring topics. The only thing that actually <I>happens</I> in the first half of the book is that he whacks his landlady. The rest is just aimless mental meandering.

Fair enough -- not acutally true though.

To each his own.

I'm half way through it for the 5th time... still can put the fucker down.
