Whacha guys enjoy reading? Playboy, sci-fi, the news?

Mythos of all kind interests me, as well as Tolkiens works, Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance (used to anyways), nearly everything by the Black Library and history in general.

Mostly historical non-fiction. Anything can happen in fiction. I love Science fiction, but it's amazing to read about actually events.

[Bro DZ]

yeah, most of what I have read has been historical accounts and stuff like that. It's usually far more entertaining to learn about what has actually happened.

I am a major science nerd. I love to read about research in cell bio and those sorts of fields. I have to say like a lot of you that history is a lot of fun to read too.

If you like historical novels try
Star of the Sea by Joseph O'Connor

It's a fictional story about a voyage from Ireland to America
during the Great Famine ~ but all details are historically accurate
and it's a cracking read :)

[Bro DZ]

Clan of the Cave Bear is supposedly historically accurate, even though its like 10,000 BC. Its a damn fine story to boot.

I love the li'l manga books. I have one collection left after I sold 3 others on ebay, they're great to look at when your maxed so I keep the last one around for that, it's my favourite :D !

Mostly real life murder book's or anything by james herbert.

Also fantasy, Terry Pratchett cracks me up when stoned.

Also reading an e-book by Edgar Allen poe.

i used to read heaps of pratchett, tolkein, koontz, king, baker,asimov,huxley,etc.

My all-time favorite book is The Culture of Make Believe by Derrick Jensen.

[Bro DZ]

anyone ever read the Lord of the Flies? That book was nutty. Poor Piggy.

Oh man, and I love stephen king too, I don't know why I didnt mention his books. "It" was the only book that ever scared me... I read it in the third grade =oP

Mary Shelley is another good one. Interview with a Vampire was tight.
WW2 books are bada$$ too. Reading about down right crazy adventures through nazi held territory and gestapo dudes hunting em and killing em and defectors and all that stuff is sweet. Vietnam era books are awesome too.

[BOgart.bitch]

i read the lord of the flies.

the concept was good but i hate how the book was written, they spent too much time describing the settings, or something? maybe its just because i was forced to read it and take tests on it in school.

i didnt really like the book "IT" but i loved the movie.. after watching the movie i just couldnt get myself into the book, i should have read the book first.

[LearyS Disciple]

i like to read books by tim leary or anything philisophical i am reading the book "ghandis truths" right now

[KyserSozay]

Dan Brown, koonz, clancy, jeffry deaver, older king was good, ann rice, james patterson, john grisham, douglas preston and lincoln child, is a few i can think of of the top of my head. when i go offshore to work i end up reading close to a book a day so its hard for me to keep up with all the authors. i also like non-fiction books, as long as the author is ADHD friendly.
