For Valiere

[Fortet]

The man is right.

Quick, someone make an interesting topic. Not more ooh-are-you-excited-about-this-new-game-coming-out tripe. Something good!

Has anybody read any good books lately?
What are some of your favorite books?

I'm reading Under the Dome by Stephen King. It's rather humorous in King's morbid sort of way (ie. his use of irony and vulgarity infused with hints of sarcasm).

[Cerebus]

Last books I read were "The Long Patrol" and "Marlfox". I unfortunately don't have the following titles...
But I've started reading the series from "Redwall" (the one with Cluny the scourge) and will probably begin "Lord Brocktree". My main problem is that I lack "Martin the Warrior" and that book two of that Luke one. Of course, that doesn't prevent me from reading "Lord Brocktree" but I'd prefer to have the next books before.

I also plan on reading the Holy Bible and Coran (or Qur'an), though for me they're more like novels since I don't follow any religion, but they seem pretty interesting.

Starship Troopers and lord of the flies.

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

XD Lord of the Flies.

[Valiere]

I have a long-running true crime fascination and a more recent fascination with plane crashes (Yeah, I know, morbid interests). So I read "9 Minutes, Twenty Seconds" (about a plane crash), another book with interviews from crash survivors, and I'm halfway through "Cruel Sacrifice," a book covering a case of a 12-year-old girl being murdered by a group of teenage girls.

Anyone else here also into nonfiction?

[Cerebus]

Yes and no. I have a biography of Stalin which I'd like to read, and often see interesting books about real events. The only problem is that I don't really get in these book. Pretty weird, I know; I want to read it but don't particularly enjoy it. But I also plan on reading that biography some day, whether I like it or not!
...well not really, I'll just wait until I actually feel like reading it.

[Jek]

I started reading The Stand by Stephen King, but then my dad stole the book and I can never get it off him.

I'm starting to read Dune.

Much easier than the time I tried to read it when I was 10 and couldn't understand the concept of listening to multiple characters thoughts at once.

Also, call me crazy, but "A Dance in Fire" and "The Argonian Account" in Oblivion and Morrowind are actually entertaining reads.
Strange that the in game fiction can be so captivating.

You think that's morbid? I spend my free time researching details about infamous murderers (especially serial killers) and their grim habits. I'm especially fascinated with the bizarre ones, like Ed Gein, Armin Meiwes, and Dorangel Vargas. Kind of turns my stomach, but I just can't stop reading about that kind of stuff once I'm on a roll.

Okay, books. Haven't really been reading that much as of late (I just can't pay attention to most things anymore. TV, video games, conversations, et cetera. Music seems to be the only thing I can stay attached to), but I've been meaning to read the newest Halo book, which has been staring me in the face for a few months now. I've also been (slowly) reading Watchmen, if you want to count that as a book. Cerebus has me wanting to start reading books from the Redwall series again. I have an autographed copy of my favorite entry in the series, but that's not really important.

Favorite books... Well, Batman: Knightfall was a fun read. It's a novelization of the story arc of the same name. I also really enjoyed Misery (fun fact: My mom read the book while she was pregnant with me. Finished it while in the hospital after my birth). What else? Oh damn... It's late, and I can't recall what my #1 favorite book was. I'll look into it tomorrow.

I'm starting to read Dune.

...I tried to read it when I was 10 and couldn't understand...

Dune is the sucks no matter what age you are. Of course this is just my opinion, but I think I got a little credibility on my side. A fat old man in a futuristic floating diaper, that flys around and rapes teenage boys while ploting against his nephew that he thinks is sexy is never good

ha ha got all the set but the new one  in the set  got 25 books in all

[Ben]

Fight Club(pahlahnahuihiuk), Crime and punishment (some russian), and just finishing up lolita(some other russian). I was pissed off because after fight club I read everything in Edard nortons voice. Dostoevsky, and Nabakov in Edward Nortons voice is terrible.

Sorry, Archie, you can't out-morbid me. I've read a ton about serial killers. The crimelibrary/trueTV site is the best.

[Cerebus]

Well sorry but you can't be as morbid as me. I have committed murders. And ate the corpses.

But of course this isn't true... or is it? Muahahahaha!
No.

You aren't a sci-fi fan then.
