Drunken Monkey Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 hmmm, i wouldn't compare the two. very different animals and both good for very different reasons. anyway, halfway through "fast food nation" right now... let you guys know how it goes. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

battousai16 Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 oh, king of fighters, if you enjoyed to kill a mocking bird for it's anti-racism messages, you may also want to consider Black Like Me by john howard griffin, Black Boy by richard wright, and a book title that i'm not even gonna try to get past the forum sensors, lets just say it's the n-word, by dick gregory with robert lipsyte. If you liked it for the court sequences, Inherit the Wind by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee is good, and i might suggest anything by john grisham.

Drunken Monkey Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 i don't think anything can put me off food of any sort. i'm born and bred chinese and we have a famous saying "if its back faces the sky, we can eat it" so, sleep on your front at your peril... post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

SaiFightsMS Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 I can't believe I misses the Piers Anthony books set in Xanth. I am reading one on tape now and was wondering if anyone knew of a good site to pick up the first couple of books in the Xanth series in ebook format. Preferably pda, mobipocket or text format.

monkeygirl Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 When I'm in a fantasy/sci-fi mood, I reach for anything by Anne McCaffrey, especially the Acorna and Dragonriders of Pern series. Anything by Douglas Adams is a good pick, too. 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard.

hajime Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Dan Simmons Hyperion saga Iain Banks sci fi - great, brilliant, sometimes savage fun Murakami - the alienation of modern life and the search for love/meaning JG Ballard - the closeness we all are to barbarians Primo Levi - tales of humanity in hell so many others. I love reading 700 hours of official training. Injury finished me dammit!1st Kyu Wado Ryu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoreanTiger30 Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 I love the Anne Rice novels but my fvorite book of all time ws "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexander Dumas. I have read it 6 times since 10th grade and absolutley adore it. The plot set up is tremendously well done as wel as character development. I hate the new movie to extreme jsut because it was a major slap in the face.
