I love Joel Rosenberg's books, wish he would make some more. [img]http://files.tyndale.com/thpdata/images--covers/500%20h/978-1-4143-1272-9.jpg[/img] I also quite enjoyed James Beauseigneur's Christ Clone Trilogy.

[QUOTE=Gluth;21955555]I'm reading Kurt Vonnegut now. [img]http://images.indiebound.com/849/333/9780385333849.jpg[/img] I'm looking for a cool book that fucks with your head. Kind of like, a book where you don't know what's real and what isn't. Along those lines.[/QUOTE] Whats interesting is that Kurt Vonnegut actually was in the Dresden bombings in a slaughter house named Schlachthof Fünf or Slaughter House 5.

Anything by Max Brooks. And these: [img]http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/2791/cellkq.jpg[/img] I loved this book. [img]http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/6413/blazex.jpg[/img] This too. [img]http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/1371/petsematary.jpg[/img] First Stephen King novel I read.

It takes longer for me to get through a book because I don't have the time anymore but I'm going through [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f1/GEBcover.jpg[/img] It's a bit like a themepark for the mind.

1984 is a hella good book.

Are there any sort of Mad Max styled post apoc books?

Dan Brown. CHERUB series. All Anthony Horrowitz stuff.

[img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d8/Unfortunate_Events_Book_Set.jpg[/img] A Series of Unfortunate Events.

I love anything by Jack Kerouac, but On the Road is his definitive book, I advise everybody to give that book a try. The wasp factory is also great, a really good example of a modern gothic. also I really liked catcher in the rye, but what teenager doesnt? to be honest I love most books, it's probably why I took english at A level and am taking it at uni

Das kapital. although its not really a "read in the bath" one. i also like books by john whitbourne. he does alternate realities about life in the catholic church, with demons and stuff.

Lately I've been reading Richard Dawkins. My favourite book of his is The Selfish Gene.

Anything by Robert Ludlum (the Bourne guy). I'm currently reading the Prometheus Deception and honestly, it's [B]kick-ass.[/B] Pic: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ludlum_-_The_Prometheus_Deception_Coverart.png[/url] o_O How do I inserted pictures?

My favorite books are the Hobbit/Lord of The Rings series but I'm guessing that's already been taken. Regardless, this is one that I really love: [img]http://www.marshall.edu/library/bannedbooks/images/fallenangels.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=TrenchFoot;21956609]For the other 1/3 the words only went as far as your belly button?[/QUOTE] They came to my eyes but I wasn't interested in the page long story about something completely irrelevent. So i skipped :p

The Inheritance series (Eragon) LotR Watchmen (surprised no-one's said this yet, as far as I've seen.) The Hobbit and by far my favourite book of all time: 1984. This is the only book/film/media that I've ever seen that has made a permanent impression on how I think.

Iain M. Banks' Culture novels. Except Feersum Endjinn. Fuck that book.

I just read The Road. It was a bit too short, but still a great book.

Has anyone mentioned Terry Pratchett yet? Best. Fantasy. Author. Ever. [IMG]http://jameseagle.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/goingpostal.jpg[/IMG] This one will be released into a TV movie later this month, but he's written at least thirty of them!

Just finished the last book of Bernard Cornwells "The Last Kingdom" series. It was epic. Read them in about five weeks, and I'm Dane too, so quite an effort.

The Pillars of the Earth. It's an excellent read.

Books I've been reading lately: Nova Vulgata Ancient Tyranny, edited by Sian Lewis Some Oscar Wilde's short stories The Penguin Atlas of Ancient History, by Colin McEvedy The Penguin Atlas of Medieval History, by Colin McEvedy I don't read that much fiction nowadays. Terry Pratchett is an exception though, if I see an untranslated hardcover somewhere I'll probably buy it. Right now I'm just more interested in educating myself and preparing for the matriculation exams this autumn and next spring. I really recommend those Penguin Atlases if you're interested in European history. I found them tremendously helpful to link together all these historical empires and cultures that we're taught about individually - Rome, the Byzantine Empire, the Holy Roman Empire etc.

The Sharpe series.

[IMG]http://blog.timesunion.com/localarts/files/2008/03/curiousincident.jpg[/IMG] Really good book. Simple log line becomes more complicated.

try Greek Tragedies and Comedies and shit wacky, wild stuff I enjoy Aristophanes

Let's get some real literature up in this bitch [img]http://a1.vox.com/6a00c22528f9988e1d01240b738541860e-500pi[/img] ;)

The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. It is about an English girl in the 1800's from liverpool England on her way to Rhode Island America, so she gets on a boat called the Seahawk, but suddenly one of the crew members is killed, and Charlotte is to blame, and she is due to be hanged.

[img]http://regularrumination.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/owen2.jpg[/img] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Prayer_for_Owen_Meany[/url] This is by far the best book I have ever read, and I read A LOT.
