[sokka14]

fight club at the moment.
just read the famous victorian/edwardian horrors. frankenstein, dracula, jekyl and hyde etc. they're all good. course it depends what sort of book you're looking for.

I just read Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan, his best book by far. Its a blade runner-esque film noir kind of detective story about an ex-secret special forces guy. I love they way Morgan describes the intricacies and life of the world around the character without directly explaining everything. well worth a read.

I'm reading the Dexter series and the Twilight series side by side which is kinda weird now that I think about it.

 

[Inverse Skies]

Well.... I've been reading heaps of Peanuts comics as of late, but that doesn't count.

The last novel I would have read would have been Stephen King's the Dark Tower series, I've just finished book 4 again for the second time. Brilliant series that one.

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

I'm pretty sure there was a thread identical to this just a couple of weeks ago.

Oh here it is:

I just finished reading watchmen.

 

[DannyBoy451]

I'm reading The Fellowship of the Ring, good book, better than the Bible.
Recently read Trainspotting, absolutly fantastic book.

 

[MCGT]

Animal Farm. Orwell is a genius of an author.

 

[Samurai Goomba]

I just finished Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi. It's not much better than the movie, but it's still very, very good. I usually hate nonfiction reading, but this stuff is totally engrossing.

 

[waggmd]

I plan on finally getting around to finish Catch-22 soon.

 

[Mask of 1000 Faces]

World War Z.

I refuse to not re-read this every month or so.

 

[John-Joe]

The alphabet of manliness, and I hope they serve beer in hell. Both very funny imo.
btw can anyone who know these books recommend anything that's similar, please?

This. But I'll contribute, I guess.

Oh how I love the Dark Tower. By far one of my top most favorite series thus far. I just love it =D I'm not done yet though, so shush! =P

Hum. I only find the bible mildly amusing.

I'd never spoil the ending for you... but please let me know what you personally think of it... because we might have something to discuss...

Catch-22

I've read it 3 times before, it's addicting.

Catch-22

I've read it 3 times before, it's addicting.

Catch-22 is a military genius. I'm also re-reading it now, too, at the bane of sum freshmen.

 

[Mr.BucketHat]

Good Omens, By Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
Satire on a biblical scale.

 

[PersianLlama]

I just finished Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. A funny, yet sometimes disturbing, but meaningful book. I'd highly suggest.

Now I'm about to start Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell.

 

[Logizomechanophobia]

Bill Bryson - Life and Times of Thunderbolt Kid <-- funniest autobiography you will ever read

The Public Works Trilogy - Matt Ruff

I highly advise you to pick up anything from those two authors.

Edit: ALso re-reading the Falco series by Lindsay Davis
