I'm gonna have to go with Who moved my Cheese By Spencer Johnson M.D

It's a very good book only takes about 30 min to read but really good.

This is also another one of my favorite series... I would have a hard time choosing between Dark Tower series and Ender's Game!

Chris: Do you know when the next book in the series is due out?

I'm with Fluck, Catch-22 is the best book by far I have read.

Apparently he's finished it, just hasn't been published yet. In the blurb he wrote about Sisters of Eluria in the collection of stories "Everythings Eventual", he wrote "And by the way, for you Tower junkies, DT 5 is now finished, all nine hundred pages of it. It's called Wolves of the Calla". Oh yeah, and if you havent read Sisters of Eluria that also has Roland in it.

Yeah, he's had it mostly done for a while ... then he got in that car accident, which pushed the release date back by about a year. Now they keep pushing it back :rolleyes: Hmmm...

/me runs to Barnes and Noble to pick up Sisters of Eluria.

Oh yeah, Sisters of Eluria is just a short story in Everythings Eventual. Its not a novel(unfortunately) but it is pretty entertaining. It doesnt have much to do with the plot of the other books, however. And Everythings Eventual is a great collection of stories.

Hmm...
 
I'd have to say The Shining by Stephen King and The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury.

An Eclectic Mix
 
Atlas Shrugged by: Ayn Rand
I kinda buy into her philopsophy (or at least parts of it) and it was a fun read, especially during the build season last year.

The Prince by: Machiavelli
Just something interesting I enjoyed... Another book that was interesting during build season when advisors start bickering...

I also enjoy Star Wars Sci-Fi... yeah... I'm a SW junkie...

Quite the strange list...

Favorite Books
 
The Lord of the Rings series is one of my favorite book series.

I also like the Harry Potter series! Rowling is a genius, and you'd be crazy if you didn't read these books.

Animal Farm by Orwell, good book.

mtaman02 02-09-2002 20:39

Lets see there's Dr.Seuss ( All Books ), The Giver, A few of Stephen Kings books, R.L. Stines books were pretty decent when I was in like the 7th. Grade, and Never Ending Story. There a few other good ones but its been a while I last picked up a book.

George1902 02-09-2002 23:05

Godel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R. Hofstadter

I read a blurb of information on that book a few months ago, and became very interested in it, but I haven't picked it up, yet...

I think I will do so.

Adam Y. 03-09-2002 09:52

Hmm.. my favorite book. It all depends on what I'm into. I have four differnt robot books as of now. I just got a book that seems to be very good from what I have read about it. It's How to Build a Time Machine. I also like War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells but its not really a book.

Jim Giacchi 03-09-2002 14:07

Yeah, I know the movie sucked
 
Best Book Ever has got to be Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard. I mean the best part is the book just keeps going and the story never gets boring. Trust me though if you haven't seen the movie DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES watch it. (Remembers South Park with screening of The Special Edition of Raiders of the Lost Ark) It sucked so badly. It was like they didn't even read the book.

So dissapointing. /me goes and throws up
