January 16, 200422 yr Just wanted to know whats everyones favorite book? im looking for some new material to read, so any input is nice. im reading The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown now, and its quickly becoming one my favorites
January 16, 200422 yr To Kill A Mocking Bird- great book, and an even greater movie. Moneyball- Best Book Ever, it's a MUST have for any baseball fans. I couldnt put it down. Debt Of Honor- I consider that my favorite Tom Clancy book of all time. Those are a few of my fav's.
January 16, 200422 yr I just finished reading "Perfect I'm Not' by David Wells. I was surprized it's one of the better books I have read in awhile.
January 16, 200422 yr Well, I'm about to read the Da Vinci Code and Moneyball. The Art of War- best book ever not named The Bible. The King of Torts- My favorite Grisham book A Civil War- by Feinstein (I think John?), the sports writer guy. It is about Army-Navy, very well done. These are just the three best from the past 6 months (being I've read Art of War at least 20 times, but it still counts). A read a few others over the time that weren't that great. I'd list all the good books I've read in my life, but I'd run out of space.
January 16, 200422 yr Nice Spunky, I loved that book My favorite book of all time is... "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman
January 16, 200422 yr Author the art of war .... is one that ive heard a lot about but never have read it. im not the biggest book buff so i dont have much to talk about.... who is it by? brief sum of what its about? my favorites are The Fountainhead , Animal Liberation (the bibble for all vegetarians), and slaughterhouse ( another animal rights movement based book) ... and now the Da Vinci Code.
January 16, 200422 yr Communion - Whitley Strieber Keepers of the garden - Dolores Cannon Many lives, Many masters - Brian Weiss Conversations with Nostradamus: His Prophecies Explained, Vol. 1 - Dolores cannon
January 17, 200422 yr "Have A Nice Day" by Mick Foley. The BEST autobiography I've ever read, and not ghost-written either. If you like this one, I'd check out "Mick Foley- A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks", which is his followup book. I also like "The Westing Game"....can't remember who wrote it, but we read it in sixth grade and I've read it twice since then.
January 17, 200422 yr 1984 george Orwell We Evegeni Zamyatin Farhenheit 451 some guy Enemy at the Gates William Craig I also like reading philosophy. Moneyball is good, but not that good.
January 17, 200422 yr Crime and Punishment, the Corrections, all of David Sedaris, American Tabloid and the Cold Six Thousand by Ellroy. Hmm... I go through books like water so I'm probably missing a lot.
January 17, 200422 yr My alltime favorite book, that all Floridians should read: A Land Remembered by Patrick Smith
January 17, 200422 yr A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway. I made a cartoon spoof of A Farewell To Arms. I didn't like the ending of that book, or liked it much at all, but it was great to make fun of.
January 17, 200422 yr I'm getting ready to read money ball soon, and I want to go get David Wells' book. And I still want to get Jack McKeon's book.
January 17, 200422 yr Farhenheit 451 some guy That would get voted the most "peculiar" book I've Ever read. Ray Bradbury's ideas of future society just rambles on and on and on alot, but It was an OK book. IMO
January 17, 200422 yr his ideas of the future were right on. Not about technology, but materialism and the military-industrial complex and cencorship via political correctness, he was right on! And he wrote this over 50 years ago! Read more about it here: http://www.xanga.com/item.asp?user=craigra...778&tab=reviews
January 17, 200422 yr the art of war .... is one that ive heard a lot about but never have read it. im not the biggest book buff so i dont have much to talk about.... who is it by? brief sum of what its about? Sun Tzu wrote it. It is all about proper military technique in everything: logistics, offense strategy, defense strategy, etc. It isn't very long at all, won't take you more than an hour or two to shoot through. And it was written back in the time of the Samauri. It is deadly accurate and can be applied to all aspects of life. One of my favorite quotes and ways which I live by I got from the Art of War: "All battle are won before they are fought." (That is a paraphrase) And RippyO, it is good to see someone else similar to me. Even if it is a Cub Fan
January 17, 200422 yr Anyone ever read "There will come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury, it's shocking but it seems true how our houses will run our lives and it's just a reallly great short story.
January 17, 200422 yr Anyone ever read "There will come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury, it's shocking but it seems true how our houses will run our lives and it's just a reallly great short story. I haven't read it, but my brother and younger sister both have. From what they've told me about it, I'm glad I didn't have to read it.
January 17, 200422 yr http://www.dchsenglish.com/dchsenglish/ass...mesoftrains.htm The most chilling part of this story was it was written in 1950
January 17, 200422 yr Good story. What do you get from it? I scanned passed it because I am being screamed at because everyone is hungry, but I believe that it says that the material world we are building around ourselves in America is in fact empty (like the house) and such love for money in America will lead not only to our demise, but our way of life.
January 18, 200422 yr The Outsiders and All the Harry Potter books, Specially the "Prisoner of Azkaban".
