Kurt Vonnegut is awesome I've read almost all of his books. Just yesterday got done with galapagos
Anything that makes a dominatrix wiggle in her seat is definitely going on my listâ?¦. :DQuote:

Guns, Germs, and Steel is very interesting. I haven't read Bob's book yet, but I need to.
I'll read anything fantasy
The Runelords series is the shit, and I also highly recommend the Sword of Truth series, The Wheel Of Time and a Song of Ice And Fire, and also all of Robin Hobbs books; The Assassin trilogy, Liveship Traders and The Tawny Man trilogies
I also recomened the Sword of Truth series, though most people think they keep getting worst I still like them.Quote:

Then I will read nothing waiting for the final Sword of Truth book.
I don't read alot in the summer though, so I am guessing that the previous plan will take a year.

Anyone read The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe? It's pretty much a true story and is like a history of early acid use.
The acid tests were huge parties thrown by Ken Kesey(he wrote One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest) and his friends, the Merry Pranksters, back in the late 60's. The Grateful Dead got their start playing at those parties. Anyhow, several thousand people would show up and everyone would be given a glass of kool-aid dosed with high quality acid. The Dead would play and everyone would trip their balls off.
Of course the book is about a lot more than just the acid tests specifically and goes into pretty much the whole late '60's San Francisco drug scene. It's pretty funny and definitely a good read . I would think a must for anyone on this board.
I personally like the Wheel Of Time books better than the Sword of Truth books, though theyre very close. The main problem with the Wheel of Time is that hes incredibly descriptive, and the story is huge, 10 massive books already and no sign of an endpoint yet. They get pretty damn confusing with the amount of characters too. Very cool though, I just hope he doesnt die before theyre finished, or I may have to exhume his corpse and beat him with a shovel...
haha, ya I thought about that. If an author died before the series finished, it would be the most unfulfilled unfinished feeling in the world.
i have a clear cut book for you about anarchy. its called "days of war, nights of love" by bthe crimethinc collective. it can be read on there site easily for free. extrodinary to say the least. and to add a side note, i dont think most people know what anarchy truly is. besides the dictionary deffinition anyway (witch isent even close).Quote:

i am rereading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. i started thinking the movie would be out sometime soon but no. i have just started Pipe Dreams: Greed, Ego, and the Death of Enron by Robert Bryce. this should be a good read.
MY fav book ever is The Witching Hour by Anne Rice. If u like witches and spookie books this one is awesome....try it
Henry David Thoreau is awesome. look for it
That is something EVERYONE should read. A fantastic book and also a volume that the commander who took the US into Vietnam has openly admited he should have read, especially lesson No. 1Quote:
