Nineteen eighty four is really good. Reminds me of Half life 2 for some reason

I agree. 1984 is the best book I've ever read.

what is a book?

Its the bits of paper at the front of a game box, where they tell you what buttons to press to shoot people.

Normal answer:

1: Guards Guards (Terry Pratchett)

2: Men At Arms (As Above)

3: I Am Legend (Richard Matheson) - Also Pwns the film.

Oh man believe me on this one Eragon is such agood book. It's a fantasy, kinda like LotR and it's a trilogy:
the first one being Eragon the second Eldest and the third is not released yet but it's rumored to be called Eldest.

Believe me read it if you like fantasy they're so good.

Well, I now only have access to a PS3 & 360...Plan on buying a wii soon (lol, if I can ever find one available!) but will probably wait until some of the major RPG's come out like Dragon Quest & Tales, etc.

Anyhow, I'm so far behind in games to play that I'm not in a huge hurry (lol, haven't even gotten a chance to finish God of War II yet!)

If you like fantasy you should definitely give the "his dark materials" trilogy by philip pullman a shot.

I don't read a lot of fantasy, I prefer authors like Martin Suter, Nick Hornby, Douglas Adams or Friedrich Dürrenmatt.



Currently Playing: Skies of Arcadia Legends (GC), Dragon Quest IV (DS)

Last Game beaten: The Rub Rabbits(DS)

I highly recommend The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. It does have fantasy elements and is not a horror novel. Most people assume everything King writes is horror. I will warn you that the first book is the worst of the series and it picks up pace greatly with the 2nd book and on. (series is 7 books long)



Munkeh111 on 14 January 2008

In terms of fantasy my favorites are Htichhiker's Guide, Dark Materials, Harry Potter, Eragon

Give Me a Break by John Stossel is my favorite book. I really like these books:

History- The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History by Thomas E. Woods Jr.

War- The Real Lincoln by Thomas DiLorenzo

Improvement- How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World: A Handbook for Personal Liberty by Harry Browne; Financial Peace: Revisited by Dave Ramsey;

Give Me a Break : How I Exposed Hucksters, Cheats, and Scam Artists and Became the Scourge of the Liberal Media... by John Stossel;
The Ten Things You Can't Say In America by Larry Elder;

Economics- Economics in One Lesson: The Shortest and Surest Way to Understand Basic Economics by Henry Hazlitt


You seem to read the same kind of liberal (in the correct sense of the word) material I do.

I have a preference for the classics.

The Way of Serfdom - F. A. Hayek
Second Treatise on Civil Government - John Locke
The Prince - Nicolò Maquiavelli
Manual del perfecto idiota latinoamericano - Apuleyo, Montaner, Vargas Llosa
The closing of the American Mind - Allan Bloom

and anything from austrian writers, except Hitler and Freud.
