For SK fans: Dreamcatcher will be in theatres 3.21.03 :thumb:

Even though the books are so much better than the movies I still love to see his movies. :D
 
I guess I've read plenty in my day...I do tend more towards non-fiction in most cases, but I would have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed all of Douglas Adams' writings. I also like some sci-fi, Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land being one of my favorites. I try to read everything that Stephen Hawking writes. If you don't want to understand hardly any of it, read A Brief History of Time. If you want to understand a great deal, read The Universe in a Nutshell. Brian Greene also wrote a good book a few years back called The Elegant Universe. I also like reading philosophy. I tend towards Nietzsche (though I don't always agree with him)...I enjoyed The Will to Power, and Beyond Good and Evil, I haven't finished Thus Spoke Zarathustra yet. I would also recommend Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (yes there really was a Roman emperor by that name).
 
The Icewind Dale trilogy by R.A. Salvatore!!!

Awesome book! This is my first time reading a book by this author, truly amazing!

When this book first came out I was immersed in the Dragonlance Chronicle series, so I never paid much attention to his books.
 
If you want to read a series of good books 12 books Move to strike will hook ya, then you will have to read them all in order.

Just a little note to the reader...I always try to keep in mind that Hawking's genius is within the realm of physics. He likes to wax philosophical, but doesn't always do so well.
 
Update on the Dark Tower series. I was going to start re-reading them all soon to get ready for the next 2 new ones that was coming out within the next year. just read this tonights so now it looks like I need to buy the new versions and re-read them. :D

Dark Tower Volumes I - IV
Viking will reissue hardcover editions of the first four volumes of the Dark Tower Series, Plume will reissue Trade paperback editions as well.

And. . . Stephen's added material to The Gunslinger. Stephen explains:

"Here's the scoop on the new material I've added to The Gunslinger. The idea was to bring The Gunslinger in line with the material in the new books as well as the material in the first four. The other thing I wanted to do was to rewrite to some degree for language because I always felt it had a different feel than the other books because I was so young when I wrote it. The material is about an additional 10% (about 35 manuscript pages) with changes on almost every page."
 
hmm
 
I read, but it's most tech stuff. If I had to put a favorite author out it would be J.D. Salinger (Catcher in the Rye, Franny and Zooey, Nine Stories, Raise High the Roof Beam Carpenters, etc.).

I still read those books every year or so.

Kuso, you got a link to this one. I wanna see :D

Kuso - you read my mind, I was gonna revive this today. :cool:
 
I finished Black House by King and Straub and all I have to say for those who have not read it yet: Stick with the beginning, yes its dry and boring but the end is so worth it. Also, I speculate there will be another one in this series.

So far: The Talisman and Black House and when your done reading it you'll know why I think there will be another. :D

Oh and don't forget, this series also ties in with The Dark Tower Series :p
 
Its FAR from the movie. The book kicks ass!!!! :thumb:

LOL...The write up said about the same :D I thought I`d buy a few books here others had recommended that I`d not read, so I hope I do get a laugh here :thumb:

BTW...welcome back Freeman :D
 
Kuso~ There is the ULTIMATE GUIDE, which has all.. I think 5 books in one.. DEFINITELY a good read.

I myself have been reading the DUNE series. Im on book three.. DEMMIT!! I cant put these down!!

Ive never really been into literary sci-fi, but MAN.. this is some good stuff!! I cant even begin to describe what the book is like, but u read and feel for these characters, and thier causes.. and then some thing happens, and there are conflicts of interest, and you are torn becuase u dont know who you want to end up on top, you dont know who to trust. Its crazy.
 
Strut - did you see Children of the Dune on ScifFi? I didn't watch it but I wanted to.

I think I`ll wait and see if I enjoy the first 4 first :thumb: :D
 
You'll love it. Did you see any of the movies yet???
 
None of them...I hate seeing movies and then reading the book....:shrug: Had I seen them I probably wouldn`t have bought them.
 
Oh no the movies are awesome!! You'll like both - I guarantee that. :thumb:
 
Oh yeah, I`m sure I`ll love them....After the books ;) :D
 
Of course - Books before Movies - thats the only way. :thumb:
