Good books you've read lately

[lil*tymer]

Well i haven't seen a thread like this before, and im about to go to chapters with nothing in mind, and would like some idea's.

I just read Marching Powder, about an English guy who gets throuwn in jail in Bolivia. The book started off good, but it seemed to contradict its self about half way through, and went down hill from there.

[kerry]

This month's Road & Track

[Hakkola]

What genre?

Other than Tolkien books, the Dune series of books are the only novels that I've ever found to be worth reading more than once.

Tom Clancy novels are always interesting as well.

[Stephen81]

I've been working my way through Daniel Silva's novels recently. His most recent is Moscow Rules (http://www.amazon.com/Moscow-Rules-Daniel-Silva/dp/0399155015)

[w_man]

I have read almost all books from John Grisham ... always a fantastic read :thumbsup:

[kerry]

This Is Your Brain On Music.

Great book.

[Unlaced]

The Shack by WM. Paul Young is good, though on the religious side.

A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah is also a good book.

[TYMSMNY]

The Art of War. :D

[sexualbanana]

Depends on what you're into. The only fictional novel I've read lately were Endwar by Tom Clancy (well, not really anymore) and The Associate by John Grisham. Depending on what your interests are, I go through 3 or 4 books a month on all sorts of different topics.

If you're into MMA, Blood in the Cage by Wertheim is a really good book about Pat Miletich and the beginning of the UFC. Brought back some memories of my first time watching UFC 1 and 2.

If you're into music, there's Appetite for Self-Destruction bt Steve Knopper. Which covers the mistakes that the major record labels made with MP3s, Napster, iTunes, etc.

If you're into animation or movies, I liked The Pixar Touch by David A Price about the beginnings of Pixar as a computer hardware to a major movie producer.

Science-non-fiction: The Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku. It talks about the possibility of some of the technologies that science-fiction has created like starships, time travel, invisibility, etc. It's not a bad read, but can be a little confusing because of the heavy science involved.

[superflychief]

I just finished the new Stephen King - Duma Key. Really good book. One of his best in my opinion!

[Ajay]

There's a book by a person named Warren Fellows. It's about his time in a Thai prison. That is a real good read.

It really depends on what types of books you're into. I'm more into real life/biography books as opposed to novels. Right now I'm reading a book by Barack Obama called Dreams from My Father and it's fantastic.

Paper Fan is another one - it's about an Asian gangster from Vancouver.

[911fever]

Any Michael Crichton book.
The State of Fear, Next, and he has a new one coming out (the one he was writing on when he died..)
I love Crichton, soooo good.

[3g4u]

just finished
six bullets one chamber by sonny barger.

About a motorcycle club that gets in some shit with the local Russian mafia in Oakland. Pretty good read.

[schurchill39]

I just finished Helter skelter not to long ago. Very informative but it took a while to get used to how it was written. Before that was the long hard road out of hell Marylin Mansons auto biography. Probably one of the best books I've read for sure

[soupey]

call me crazy but ive been reading the twilight series with my gf, if u can ignore the sappy over descriptive parts about how awesome edward is, the books aren't half bad.

I used to live in a town between Modesto (Where sonny was born/lived) and Oakland. There would always be a group of guys showing colors at any event in the towns... they all seemed pretty down to earth.

your spelling of "lately" makes it look like you haven't been reading many books at all.

[Darkane]

I read "Inferno" not long ago. It's basically a modern Take on Dante's Inferno.

Pretty entertaining actually :)

[pinoyhero]

Survival of the Sickest ... a few slow chapters but a real interesting read.

[Canmorite]

The Outliers by Malcom Gladwell. His '10,000' rule is really interesting.

[Dumbass17]

any updates?

[max_boost]

The only thing I read is Beyond and google for something I am searching lol

But if you want to get strong and I mean stronger than you thought possible.

JPod by Douglas Coupland
Come On People by Bill Cosby

[dino_martini]

I know it is fairly old, and a lot of you have already read it...but

1984 - George Orwell

We read it for English class..so...yeah.

[HyperZell]

I am almost finished the third book of the Night Angel Trilogy. The books are "The Way of Shadows", "Shadow's Edge" and "Beyond the Shadows". Very cool Assasin's Creed vibe to it - the main character trains to be something past an assasin and is involved in a large-scale plot with a lot of cool characters and situations.


I only ever picked it up at first because of its cover:

Been on a bit of a sci-fi kick lately and picked this up:

Selected short stories by Philip K. Dick

http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/c0/c3360.jpg

Includes:

-Paycheck
-The Minority Report
-Second Variety (Screamers)
-We Can Remember It For You Wholesale (Total Recall)
-The Electric Ant

[Mar]

I like reading books by A.J. Jacobs, I read one of his called "The Know It All" where he read the entire Encyclopedia Britannica A-Z and now I'm reading another of his called "The Year Of Living Biblically" where he lives his entire life exactly to the Bible, basically showing how stupid and contradictory it is. But very very funny.

[cressida_pimpin]

"Why We Buy" Paco Underhill

[B18C]

A Long Way Gone is pretty good. Kinda slow at parts but gives you a peak into the world of child soldiers which is horrible and fascinating at the same time.

Malcolm Gladwell's books are good as well. Read Outliers a couple months ago which is really quite good. Just finished Blink a little while ago. It's not as good as Outliers but still pretty good. They are really easy reads and easy to get through.

[JRSC00LUDE]

Penthouse Forum.

[flipstah]

Ugh. There was a recommendation on a thread here somewhere but I can't find it now. :banghead:

It was apparently in the 'Top 100 Books to Read' and I can only remember certain parts of the plot. It's basically about the government and how flawed it is and how we should cherish our freedom... Sorry for being vague. It's not Fahrenheit 451 because I read that already (good book too! :thumbsup: )

If I can only remember the title... It's been bugging me because I want to read it!

Other books have been said like Catcher in the Rye, Night...

Read the Sherlock Holmes novels. They're pretty sweet :thumbsup:

[mycroftxxx]

Any Robert Heinlein novel, sci fi that really stretches out and beyond the science confines.

my favorite of his is "The moon is a harsh mistress." read it and you may possibly Grok my user name.

+1 for the dune series however anything written by his son brian herbert is kinda /meh

[Vagabond142]

I just recently dragged out Exiles: The Ruins of Ambrai and Exiles: The Mageborn Traitor by Melanie Rawn, by far and above *THE BEST* pseudo-dramatic fantasy I have ever read. Deep politics, sexual jealousy, magic battles, even a song that teleports characters around the world. Good good stuff :)

I also have been reading military oriented books, some good ones being Jarhead by Anthony Swofford, Generation Kill by Evan Wright, and Bravo Two Zero by Andy McNab (pseudonym). Jarhead is all about the 90% boredom that accompanies the 10% sheer terror of military life, Generation Kill is a very VERY interesting "outside look" at Force Recon Marines on the bleeding edge of the second Gulf War, and Bravo Two Zero is a gritty, down to the mud view of the first gulf war from a special forces (S.A.S.) viewpoint, INCLUDING being captured and tortured by the enemy.

I also pulled out my favorite sci-fi book ever (and fans of intelligent sci fi (Asimov, Clarke, Herbert, etc) will love it), Grasp The Stars by Jennifer Wingert. She only wrote the one book, ever, and it is brilliant. It takes place on an earth orbiting space station and is so twisty and intelligent that you can't help but applaud it as a one-shot of superb skill. I hope she decides to write more books in the future, because I will buy them :D

Scar Tissue by Anthony Keidis (lead singer from Red Hot Chili Peppers)

Not sure if you like that band, but he is one crazy mother fucker with an amazing story to tell. All about sex,lots of drugs, and rock and roll. Only book I've read more than once.

I highly recommend

If you liked that, you'll like "Slash" and "Clapton".

Same stories.. but great reads.

[Bizzareo]

Shadow and Claw by Gene wolf (1st half of a 2 part series)

The colors of magic by Terry Pratchet (I almost died from laughing while reading this book)

Dragonlance series or The Forgotten Realms series are also some of my faves.

[XylathaneGTR]

If any of you are into polisci type books, i'd suggest "The Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein. It's a study on the origins of "Disaster Capitalism" and the role that ultra-conservative economic practices (Chicago School) has played in shaping our society.

I also started "The Post-American World" by Fareed Zakaria for a class i'm taking right now (Engg481) and it's actually a pretty interesting book. It deals with the global powershift as "the rest" begin to rise and the world becomes less western dominated.

Another neat book I read almost 2 years ago now was "The Lucifer Effect" by Philip Zimbardo. Authored by the man who ran the Stanford Prison Experiment (google it) and provided expert testimony in the fallout of Abu-Grahib, it's a bit of a human behavioral study and deals with basically, why seemingly good people do bad things.

How do you read a book with your girlfriend?
do you actually read off the same book?
or one read to another?

Or are you saying you both read them separately?
/if you read it alone why would you feel the need to say that you read them with your girlfriend?.

Basically you have no reason to read them yourself unless you were spending time with your girlfriend while doing so, unless you enjoy to talk about the book together?.

All i am saying is unless you enjoy reading over each others shoulders or reading to one another ( which i think is a weird thing to do) there is no reason why you should have read these books.

Maybe I am over thinking your post,

[freshprince1]

Vampire Wars - 1000 pages, twisted, dark, violent, gore-filled. :thumbsup:

Malus Darkblade - 900 pages, twisted and dark. :thumbsup:

No Country for Old Men - Cormac McCarthy - interesting read.

The Road - Cormac McCarthy - Great Post-Apocalyptic book. McCarthy's story lines are so far off the stereotypical flow it's refreshing. :thumbsup:


I need to read some happy books now.

Good book, WAY too short, movies coming out in October though.


Scar Tissue by Anthony Keidis - Awesome biography

J-Pod by Douglas Coupland - Usual Coupland novel, it's alright

Patient Zero by Jonathan Maberry - Really cliché characters, bad dialogue, but good storyline (for those who would like Terrorist/Zombie fiction) a true 'pulp fiction'

[Jlude]

Just finished reading There's more to life than the corner office - Lamar Smith and Tammy Kling. Really, really good read for a young professional. It'll put things into perspective and helps with achieving total balance in your life, rather than being 100% focused on your career while everything else falls behind.

Two of Ken Follet's books...

The Pillars of the Earth

and

World Without End

Both are historical fiction placed in 12th century England. Each book is about 1000 pages each and I can't say I have ever had such a hard time putting a book down haha. It's bad when you're sneaking ahead a few dozen pages because you're desperate to know how something turns out! :thumbsup:

Just finished "World War Z". Finished it in 2 days. My wife is reading it now and loving it.

Really enjoyable book!

I finished reading Sly Moves by Sylvester Stallone, just a general lifestyle book, I am a big sly fan so it was quite enjoyable but I am sure there are better lifestyle books out there.

I also read Theo Fleurys biography, great book if you followed the flames during the end of the hayday and the young gun years.

Any of you guys read Seinlanguage by Jerry Seinfeld? Absolutely hillarious! I found myself laughing out loud the entire time I was reading it. Must for any seinfeld fan.

His advice has been demonstrated to be a sham. It is book with no sound backing principles behind the ideas. It might as well be a work of fiction.

Frank Herbert Dune Series - All in all pretty good

[Jonel]

JPod & Hey Nostradamus - douglas coupland

Re read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for the billionth time

[TKRIS]

Too many fiction authors are trying to pretend they're basing their books off science when they clearly have no fucking idea what they're talking about. And it ruins it for me.
Dan Brown is terrible for this.
Black Order, by James Rollins, was an interesting book, until the end when he misrepresented quantum theory as some sort of retarded hybrid of "What the Bleep" and "The Secret".

As far as really great book I've read recently:
-Demon Haunted World (Carl Sagan). Everyone should have to read this book in junior high. And maybe again in high school.
-Death by Black Hole (Neil DeGrasse Tyson). I'm not much of an astronomy guy, but this book just kicks all sorts of ass. Tyson is, IMO, the best science educator in the world. He can explain damned near anything, and do it in an entertaining way.
-Physics of the Impossible (Michio Kaku). Kaku can be a bit of a crank (or at least tolorant of cranks) at times, but this is a fun book to read.
-Rule of Four (Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason). Kind of Davinci Code-esque. Pretty decent read. It's about a the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili.

[Crymson]

If you like interesting fiction based on science, read anything by Neal Stephenson.

Anathem is amazing, Diamond Age and Cryptonomicon are also fantastic.

[snoop101]

I dont read books much and sometimes have a hard time getting into them, but right now im reading the hobbit and I love it. I know, I know its old school, but its an amazing story and gets you right into it.

[teknical]

I really want to read the Hobbit! I tried to get a hardcover edition from Chapters but they never seem to have it in stock, may have to order it off their website.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/07/LostSymbol.jpg

I actually think Dan Brown is a shitty author. The Lost Symbol is a good example of how shitty his work is. haha thats just my opinion.

[Stubby]

If your into fantasy books like the LOTR trilogy, Steven Erikson probably has one of the best series of all time. 8 novels, average 1000+ pages/book. Absolutely intense, very well written, best series I've come across.

Wilbur Smith has some interesting books too.

If your into the more factual/science/non-fiction, Richard Dawkins has some absolutely brilliant books. "The God Delusion" and "The Selfish Gene" are extremely well done and are at the top of my list for best non-fiction books ever written.

Is World War Z readable and enjoyable w/o reading The Zombie Survival Guide?

[Billy_Billions]

I never read the Zombie Survival Guide and I enjoyed the hell outta that book. I'm actually planning to read the ZSG over the holidays.

[almerick]

I'm hoping to pick this book up, haven't had the time lately though

http://heebmagazine.com/files/uploaded_photos/cover_626.jpg

[n1zm0]

So upon looking at this thread, I started listening to the WWZ audio book during my commutes to work, i do read alot mind you (mostly tons of military autobiographies, mostly of seals/lrrp/recondo in the vietnam war, action-survival themed books i guess?) but i need something more sustaining than to listen to monotone am770 every morning for the hour commutes to work so i said what the hell, someone can read to me during the boredom lol

i'm about 3/4 through (ONLY listen to it on driving to work) and it's awesome , i love any zombie movie and video game, would've loved to have read it but i soon started recognizing some voices, the main 'reader' is luke skywalker (mark hamill), the guy from M.A.S.H, old guy from ocean's series carl reiner, it made it that much more interesting with the foreign accents and slangs etc

I read that the movie is in the works just as recently as this summer, i can't wait to see what they come up with for certain scenes, the female c130 pilot, yonkers, the firing lines etc.

I'd like to actually read ZSG/recorded attacks tho, that one just seems like a need to visually read (and keep in the back pocket just in case?... lol )

Both are examinations into mercanary forces and private military companies.

i'm currently reading World War Z actually, i'm about 1/4 done but meh, i am not reading it steadily enough to really enjoy it. i read maybe 30minutes every 3 days haha

Yes... I've FINALLY started reading the Wheel of Time series, after almost any friend of mine that reads fantasy has told me to read it multiple times. To prime for it, though, I read my two favorite fantasy books EVER, books 1 and 2 of Exiles (STILL waiting for #3 after about 17 years now o_O) by Melanie Rawn, for about the 8th time :P

I have'nt done much reading for my own amusement but i read the books " A Million Little Pieces" and " My friend Leonard" both are my favorite books to date! Also i read the book "Yakuza Moon" which was also very interesting!!

I Love biography/non-fiction books of these sorts, and i'd love to do alot more reading! Does any one have any other recommendations?

I'm going to try that "paper fan" book and see how it is. Also think i'll read the "Night Angel Trilogy" have'nt read much fiction but ill give it a try!!

Sorry to burst your bubble but A million little pieces was mostly bullshit. Author got called out for alot of it being fake and passing it off as an autobiography.

you don't need to read zombie survival guide because it is what it is, a zombie survival guide.

I highly recommend Patient Zero and The Dragon Factory by Jonathan Maberry. The first book is about biological zombies and the second book is about genetic soldiers and such.

also great zombie reads:
Zombies : A Record of the Year of Infection

Day by Day Armageddon by J.L. Bourne

[Manhattan]

Has anyone read 4 Hour Work Week? Whats it about and how is it?

[Dumbass17]

i really enjoyed No Angel, it's the story about an undercover cop who penetrated (heehee) the Hells Angel biker gang and started enjoying the life and everything. I highly recommend It.

Also read The Beach, in about a day and a half haha, such a solid read.

Finished Into The Wild, a few weeks ago and am now reading my first Dean Koontz novel, Velocity, and can't seem to put it down!



Has anyone read The Motorcycle Diaries, about Che Guevera?
