top 3 favs please?

Celtic/Warzilla · 02-18-2008, 11:09 AM

Ive run out of ideas for books to read.
Can you guys list you top 3 favs that aren't included on my recommendations list. I am open to anything from crude guy humour, fantasy to historical biographys. Alothough I am not big on science books.
Please no sexy, slutty, lusty romanace novels....I got porn for that.

My three: ismael

2- monster

3 - Shogun

1) Going after Cacciato

2) Catch 22

3) Slaughter-House Five (Children's Crusade)

Ironically I dont particularly like war novels...

Catch 22
All Quiet on the Western Front
Fallen Angles

IMO They are all great books, all war though.

The Illiad

Warhammer: The Horus Heresy.
War History: Band of Brothers.
Scyfi/horror: The Descent(great book, the movie ripped everything off of it and ended up still a really shitty movie.)

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich
Absolute Power
The Armageddon Rag

I'm a fan of Anne Rice. She is, however, the author of one of my favorite reads. "The Servant of the Bones". Not to mention I like her Vampire based books.

I don't really have a top 3

The Star Wars X-Wing series wasn't that bad, I'd read 'em again if I could find them

But in the same boat don't really have a "top 3"
