my recomendations

Celtic/Warzilla · 01-30-2008, 03:22 PM

I read alot and have read in all different sort of genres. I recommend the following books.

Enders Game series is ....I dont even have a word for it.

Ismael by Daniel Quinn - Kinda deep but will help you reevaulate the way you think about the world.

Shogun - awesome book, slow to start but is a brillant book. Made me buy 2 more books about the history and traditions of the samurai.

Battle Cry feedom - Best book ever on the Civil War

Any book by Dan Brown, I know he worte Da vinci's code by cheak out angels and demons, deception point and digital fortress.

I use to read all the dragon lance books back in the day. Maybe thats why I have a 70 tauren warrior named KAZ

Unfinsihed life - Great book on JFK.

I do enjoy Noam Chomsky and Henry Kissinger books if not for the pure bias in them.

1984 by Orwell.....I also recommend V for Vendetta (movie)

Thats all I can think of now just by glancing and my book shelf in front of me.

Afew books ive read thats i would recommend

Jack higgins> Sean Dillon series quite a few books to choose from all exciting reads

Lee Child > Jack Reacher series also very good reads and a good selection of titles

im currently reading a couple of warhammer 40k novels which i got into while in iraq good books but uyou need to be into them as they an be a hard read if you have no interest in sci fi

My two favourite periods of history are the Tudor/Elizabethan Era and time spanning the end of the Roman republic and beginning of the Roman empire.

I highly recommend David Starkey's book: Elizabeth, Struggle for the Throne. I just finished it a few days ago. It was an awesome read and only took me three or four days.

Some books I've enjoyed recently are the Preston/Child novels starting Agent Pendergast (Relic, Reliquary, Cabinet of Curiosities, Still Life with Crows, Brimstone, Dance with Death, & Book of the Death). I also like reading Clive Cussler's books but they are definitely not what people would consider "classics".

The V for Vendetta graphic novel is also quite good, Watchmen is the best though.

Razgriz · 02-03-2008, 10:00 PM

I only saw the end of V for Vendetta, very epic movie though

Rhiesa · 02-04-2008, 05:22 PM

The graphic novel is more focused on the politics, with much more information on V's past. When the music started playing and then explosion. It was too awesome to put to words

Hey mate got the whole ender's series for cheap at the airport for something to do on the plane n ive started reading the first one n its pretty good. Is the rest of the series up to scratch?

Rhiesa · 02-07-2008, 05:08 PM

Enders Game is the best in the series. But all of the books are enjoyable

Well finished reading Ender's Game, read till bout 5am but i finished it and i gotta say it is an awsome book especially the 2 twists at the end:

SPOILER WARNING; Ill type in white so i dont spoil it.
The fact that he was actually running the war through his simulation rather than just practicing got me good, same with the finding of the bugger queen egg in the end and how they recreated his software in real life to attract his attention

I dont really get surprised by twists very often but those 2 really got me

We watched them come from the depths but we couldn't see it 'till we looked in their eyes. Behind the mask the demon resides, the meat was stripped from their bones. WE DESTROY.
