Yeah, "The Essential Writings" was one of the few books that I actually gave up on... I feel your pain!Warforger said:
Heavy Metal Islam eh? I'm interested... Is it good?
Michael Crichton's 'Timeline', based on my friend's long-standing conviction that it is "the best book ever written".
Knife of Dreams, book 11 of the Wheel of Time Series, written by the late Robert Jordan. This series is possibly one of the best fantasy series I have ever read before, I highly recommend it.
Also, @ 2733, I read entirely too much of Nietzsche in school, have to say I was more of a fan of Rousseau and Plato myself. Definitely serious stuff though all around.

Oh, well first off, it's serious. It's literally about Muslims in Middle Eastern Nations who like metal. If you like documentaries and find this topic interesting you see how they can show how the governments are corrupt in the meanwhile.ThatLankyBastard said:
I didn't give up on it, actually I'm still reading it since I find it very interesting, although I bet Mien Kampf would be easier to read.
Really...Trivun said:
Great, now I'm gonna have to buy it just for that one extra story...
I read the God Delusion and I rather liked it... It's definitely on my suggested reads...zacaron said:
I've been recommended "Leviathan" a couple of times, but I can't find the damned thing... Every time I go somewhere it's not in stock...
Guess I'll have to keep looking!
I just finished World War Z, kind of old news, but I'd still recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it yet.
I plan on starting either Catcher in the Rye or Forrest Gump soon.

I am attempting the book MR Nice by Howard Marks, but i am realllllly finding it hard to get into and even care about.
I'm in the middle of "Fade Away" by Harlan Coben, it's the third book of a great crime series - really good plots and even better characters, I recommend them to crime-lovers. If you're interested the first book is called Dealbreaker
YES! Another person gets it!Mr.Mattress said:
Right now I'm reading.... Dougy..*shudders*... For year 8 English, it is a 151 paged book and I have almost finished it in about 4 days. The reason why I shuddered though, is because it is just annoying to read. It is about aboriginals in Australia, one of which, Dougy, faces a lot of racism in his small town. Thats about it really, the book only livened up towards that last 50 pages when a white man gets shot in the chest by an aboriginal.
PS: It's hard to have sympathy for people who refer to white people as "whities"
Between books at the moment.
I've been meaning to read both House of Leaves and Moby Dick for the longest time, but I'm not sure if I'll get to either of them soon.

As long as you make sure to turn your memory off, that is. Otherwise some of the absolute hokum that Brown comes up with might infect your brain until one day you believe that CERN actually has its own supersonic jet.stone0042 said:
His books are like being shot in the face with a plot machinegun, every other page has a twist or a 'game-changing revelation'. If you're willing to suspend all disbelief and swallow the bullshit those books can draw you right in. you have to hand it to the man, he knows how to keep the pacing up. The plots might be all over the show with spurious 'facts' thrown in to lend authenticity, but damn if it isn't fun to just go along with the ride.
I finished a book about WWII called "The Spy who spent the war in bed" recently but I don't have anything lined up for the moment.
