Who has some suggestions for a good read?

American sons The Untold Story of the Falcon and the Snowman. Just read it this weekend and definitely thought provoking, entertaining, heroic. I couldn't put it down and felt like I'd been transported to another life and come back.

Dune

Entertaining wise..I would go with "The Servant of the Bones" by Anne Rice.

Hmm, let me think...

This is a good suggestion.

I suppose I'll definitely have to look into it then

It is worth reading!

Everything by Eric Daniken, he was popular before Sitchin.

Here is a book on doom. Lucifers Hammer,,,, bout an asteroid or comet that breaks up and hits the earth. Read it 30 years ago,, sorry don"t member who wrote it.

Any thing Ray Bradbury

OH yeah!

and Battle field Earth by L.R.Hubbard. the man was a weirdo...but that is a killer book...the movie is an abomination tho.

Yeah.. we're all aware of the fella haha - definitely interested in his books though. Who is this Bradbury character though? What are his writings like?

Hubbard was a popular science fiction writer in the 1940's so makes sense his Battlefield Earth would be a good read. I should read it sometime.

This is a pretty interesting book.

Completely worth it!

All the good reads are out of print or self-published.

The publishing industry pushes junk.

The Witching Hour by Anne Rice...deep, complex, and thick with "info". It starts a series if you are so inclined.

Thanks for the link

Sounds right up my ally. Would love some.. 'growth' series.

Thanks for the recommendation!

(The title definitely catches my attention)

Believe me, I get that.

I've literally had to special order -every- book I own, except for the SWord of Truth series.

Desperate Times Trilogy by Nicholas Antinozzi....1st book is free I believe.

Basically about the collapse


44 Days in September.....EMP attack


Deep Winter Series....Eathquake Doom.....Couldn't put it down

The Jakarta Pandemic

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

Enjoy.

"Story Like the Wind" by Laurence van der Post. This man can write! He creates emotional and visual landscapes with words. A feast for anyone who appreciates the English language. It is a one if a kind story of a young man growing up in the veldt of South Africa with his Rhodesian Ridgeback hound. I have read it over and over for the sheer pleasure of it.

Fuck me, prepare for doom!

I'm already looking forward to the nightmares!

Thank you for all the suggestions.

Hahahahaha I was so certain this was just a goof that I'd nearly not googled it; glad I did!

Thanks for the suggestion. Could definitely use one or two such as this.

Your welcome.

Pournelle and Niven, as I recall.

Bill Bryson. A short history of nearly everything

Not really very challenging, but very entertaining....Gone South by Robert McCammon.
