[Navaron]

I have subscriptions to 23 magazines, I read 3 newspapers, am studying for finals = 5 books, and I'm also reading the autobiography of Chesty Puller right now. I read every chance I have, and I always have something to read with me.

I didn't think Chesty wrote an autobiography? What's the name of it? I've got Marine! by Burke Davis, and Chesty by Col. Jon T Hoffman.

[Seer]

MegaTokyo sucks.

Oh man, does it ever. I've been reading it since inception, but for the last three years or so its appeal is that of a trainwreck.

And I'm sincerely reading F.A. Hayek's The Road to Serfdom.

[Navaron]

D'oh, you're right, it's not an autobiography, but a biography. Just look for "Chesty" at any Barnes and Nobles. It's based on his life from facts and accounts and is much more factual than Marine!(Which actually has a disclaimer in it). Anywhoo, definately check it out, it's great.

Agreed, great stuff to read. My ex-fiancee bought it for me last year.

And since I realized I didn't post what I'm reading, I'm currently wading through The Aeneid by Virgil.

You wanna snail-mail them to me?
Thinking not so much, I was going through some withdrawls when I lent them to Triggar.

I hear there's this new fangled thing called a library though, they let you take books and read them and you don't even have to pay for them! :rock:

[Everay]

YOU HAVEN'T READ ENDER'S GAME?!?!

wts.


im about, oh i dunno, 8-13 books away till im done with both series.

[1024]

series nerd.

[OneManArmy]

pssh i never read enders game... and watch me die without ever reading it.

[BUGGER]

Enders Game, read now.

I've read the whole series twice. Read.


Right now I'm reading Bleachers. Very good book. Can't really give discription, but the best quarterback from highschool came back after 15 years to the highschool and the coach who made the team undefeatable is near death.

Very good book. I'd name the author but I forgot his name, he's a good author (not by this book but al lthe books he's written, he's been rated good).

[Everay]

series nerd.


blame OMA, but the StarFist series is my fault, but its okay, the books are so good i go through em in 2 days each. at least, i like em that is, i see alot of similarities between them, Vietnam (both authors served there) and Iraq, but not so much between Vietnam and Iraq, no pol debate please.

[OneManArmy]

hey its not my fault david weber is the fucking man.

[Derfud]

pssh i never read enders game... and watch me die without ever reading it.

Same goes for me, but with final fantasy instead.

The Sum of All Fears by Tom Clancy

[Triggar]

As ControlledBurnination said, I just finished reading:

1) Invisible Monsters,
2) Choke,
3) Fight Club,
4) Survivor,
5) Lullabye,
6) Diary

All by Chuck Palahniuk. Anyone who's read "Diary", we need to talk about that ending. I am unsatisfied.

[Dharkbayne]

Yeah. It sucked.

<--------- Has never read the book.

[Triggar]

Haha, the book didn't suck at all (I couldn't put it down, as I found to be the case with books 4-6 on my list), but I just don't understand the ending fully.

[Hamma]

I've never read a book, reading is boring ;)

[Triggar]

Anyone (besides Hamma) read The DaVinci Code? Martyr's mom is reading it now and I'm curious if I should try and borrow it from her :)

[Hamma]

I do know that there has been allot of controversy about that particular book :p

[Lartnev]

The Sum of All Fears by Tom Clancy

Awesome book :)

[Onizuka-GTO]

hey its not my fault david weber is the fucking man.

He certain is.

I've read some of his book, very exciting.

I've Read the "March Up Country" and "march to the Sea" a colloboration of him and whatisname- Ringo something. Haven't finished it as i can't seem to find the last book....

Anyway, I've read the "Excalibur Alternative" too, great stuff.

Oh and i've read the Ender Saga, and the "Home Coming" series too.

Not to mention i've read the latest novel by Peter F Hamilton "Pandora Star"
a book based on the universe fortold in "Misspent Youth" and the one who wrote the "Night Dawn" Trilogy (<- Must Read!!)

Whew. I think thats all i've read so far in the last 6 months.

:lol:

[Firefly]

US Army FM 23-25 "Light Anti-Armor Weapons"

[oddfish]

Stephen King: Dark Tower Series, Wolves of The Calla. book five i believe...

This is the best series i've ever read. The only other worthy series's are:

The Battletech: Blood of Kerenksy Trilogy
and The Battletech: Twilight of The Clans series.

Battletech? indeed. Micheal A. Stackpole should've been the only one to write BT books. He's so damned good at it. His trilogy is the only one that ever got any real attention. Anyways, i'm in college to become a writer/director and i'm putting that damned Trilogy to Film before i die. I swear to God and all that's holy that i will do the books justice.

[Setari]

Rainbow Six- Tom Clancy

The Lieutenants- WEB Griffin.

[Infernus]

Honor Harrington looks like a good series... so does Ender's game... hmmm must look into buying...

[OneManArmy]

lets put it this way, I was like hamma, I think reading is boring, I dont pick up a book unless I have to, but god damn. I love this honor harrington series, the way david weber writes.. even wehn he's diving into the political aspects or technical aspects of the universe in the series it keeps you interested... I love it.

[Electrofreak]

I stopped reading those Star Wars books when Chewbacca was killed by that falling moon.
:tear:

HOW COULD THOSE BASTARDS DO THAT?! :mad:

Honor Harrington looks like a good series... so does Ender's game... hmmm must look into buying...Enders game is t3h pwn. Great series. I also would recommend any of Issac Asimov's books (like "I, Robot", or the "Foundation" series if you have the patience for sci-fi politics). Good stuff.

[Infernus]

Indeed... did they ever beat the Yuzhann Vong? They lost my interest when the book "Triator" was released... they drug that war on for too long...


OMA: How many books are there in the Honor Harrington Series?

The Battletech: Blood of Kerenksy Trilogy and The Battletech: Twilight of The Clans series.

I think I read one of those... don't know where I put them tho... I think they might be on the bookselve in the basement. I know I have the Dark Age series though and i can say that it was good... Dark Age is under the Mech Warrior Title though...

[Electrofreak]

Dunno, I quit the series right then and there. I could care less if they beat those Yuzhan Vong. I hope the Chewbacca-less New Republic gets destroyed!
:mad:

Well, either that or that fucker who wrote that book. I'm pretty sure he was a new author, Kevin J. Anderson and some of the other old school SW book authors would NEVER have done that...

[Ouroboros]

Dune series.
Vlad Taltos series(good humor).

[firecrackerNC]

Just finished Angels and Demons and The Da Vinchi code,both i recomend very highly to all of you.Now im reading The Alamo which is also a sweet ass book

[Triggar]

1024, what's so good about The DaVinci Code? What's the idea behind the book?

And IHatePants, how is Bruce Campbell's autobiography? The title of that book ALONE is gold.

Martyr is reading Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" series, and he's reading "The Wolves of Calla" right now. He loves them, and I think I'm going to have to read them when he's through.
