annoing Amarr Viziam	Posted - 2009.06.29 00:21:00 - [31] Anything by Terry Pratchett. Nuff said really
Slade Trillgon Masuat'aa Matari Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2009.06.29 00:34:00 - [32] Originally by: annoing Anything by Terry Pratchett. Nuff said really I just started the Diskworld series two weeks ago and I am on the fourth book "Mort" very easy reads and very entertaining. Entertaining on a Douglas Adams level. I look forward to checking out his other stuff when I need to take a break from the close to 30 book long Discworld series. It is nice and dissapointing that the books have not been tied together heavily, but it is a new format and I am enjoying it non-the-less. Slade
annoing Amarr Viziam	Posted - 2009.06.29 06:16:00 - [33] Originally by: Slade Trillgon It is nice and dissapointing that the books have not been tied together heavily Slade Dont worry, they soon will be. Most of the books will soon group into 3 themes - The Witches (Granny, Nanny and Magrat -- my favourites), the Watch (Carrot, Vimes, Colon and Nobby et al) and the wonderfully inept wizard Rincewind. Death appears in every book of course. As you get into the series they become to get a whole lot cleverer, funnier and Pratchett takes a mirror to reflect our own world onto the Discworld. Unless you're under 14 I wouldnt really bother with the other books as they are mostly written with children in mind. Except for Strata which is a stand-alone and his only attempt at regular sci-fi (but still has some typical Pratchett humour in it). Regardless of all i've said, hes still one of the funniest writers alive and this series of books is, rightfully, highly regarded by critics and readers alike. Ask to use the Goats Pleasure Palace when you visit the Fanfest this year
ExpendableHero	Posted - 2009.06.29 06:41:00 - [34] Starship Troopers by Robert A Heinlein If only to see how much they ****ed it up when they made it into a movie.

Slade As the series goes on the books get better and deeper as the characters start developing over multiple books. Its also worth picking up the Science of Discworld books as well, some people hate them but others love them. Originally by: CCP Arkanon I frown on employees being power players to the extent that their gameplay results in any sort of domination over others. I donÆt believe CCP employees should run the EVE universe.
MerJehkel DerHyde	Posted - 2009.06.29 16:02:00 - [36] Deathstalker series by Simon R Green, epic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deathstalker_(novel)
LordSwift Caldari	Posted - 2009.06.29 16:16:00 - [37] I personally love Matthew Reily books. Pure action film in a book. Ice Station, Area 7, Scarecrow (In that order) and Seven Ancient Wonders, Six Sacred Stones (This order) are awesome books in my opinion. Join the brown Coats today!!!
Atreus Tac Blood Covenant Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2009.06.29 16:22:00 - [38] catch 22 is my reading book atm. Great read however does take a bit to get into. Quote: There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle. wonderful. I have often just bursted out laughing at some of the jokes. Last book i read before that was 1984 which is another classic. I highly recomend both of those __________________________________________________________ [16:54:07] Kopier Tante > if you got an mwd then your completly ****ed [16:54:34] Kopier Tante > you got no defence, no speed, nothing.

Malcanis Vanishing Point. The Initiative.

Stars My Destination is god damb awesome. Demolished Man is pretty good as well, mind, but it's not the brutal genius of TSMD.
Jaroslav Hasek	Posted - 2009.06.29 22:11:00 - [43] Some of my favourites The Good Soldier Svejk - Jaroslav Hasek Set in the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the start of WW1, follows the adventures of Josef Svejk - a certified idiot - as he re-enlists to join the war. Very, very funny and massively influential (Joseph Heller said it was this book which inspired him to write Catch-22) A Confederacy of Dunces - John Kennedy Toole Set in 60s New Orleans. main character is Ignatius J Reilly - A man of mammoth intellect, is a slob who lives at home with him Mum and despises everything and everyone he meets. Frankenstein - Mary Shelley Well I think you've all seen the films. Its nothing like them. Very interesting and thought provoking with some of the best prose I've ever read - especially the part where the monster besomes self aware and discovers new sensations like touch, smell, taste etc.
dr doooo	Posted - 2009.06.30 01:23:00 - [44] Originally by: Jaina Harosek Non-Fiction: The First Day Of The Somme Vimy If you are interested in ww1 era, 'Birdsong' is an excellent novel.
Jaroslav Hasek	Posted - 2009.06.30 02:05:00 - [45] I thought Birdsong was quite boring
Epegi Givo Amarr Moral Equivalent Of War	Posted - 2009.06.30 02:44:00 - [46] Dragoncrown cycle by Micheal A. Stackpole. Its first a really awesome (but rather slow to hook) prelude book, the dark glory war. Then it was a trilogy of 3 awesome books. Then you can read the prelude book from the perspective of the guy who is writing it (Its a memoir-style book from one of the main charecters in the trilogy). The best series of books ive ever read. ------------------------------------- My other alt is a Ferrari
