reccomend me a book

[King Hadas]

I've recently gotten into reading books but i'm not sure what good books there are to read. I generally try to stay away from fantasy books unless there really good and I don't really like romance novels, other than that I'll read just about anything. I've actually been looking for a good horror novel which is suprisingly hard to find, if anyone can thing of one that would be sweet.

"My Life in Tights", Burt Ward.

[Sicktodeathmx]

"Better Than Sex" Hunter S. Thompson
"UFOs, JFK, and Elvis" Richard Belzer

[Emu]

I'm reading "Coming of Age in the Milky Way" by Timothy Ferris right now, and I love it. It's good if you're into popular science and the history of astronomy.

[glowbelly]

i'm not sure if they can be classified as horror novels, but the silence of the lambs and the red dragon both creeped me out in a major way.

[sspadowsky]

Start with English Grammar for Dummies (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764553224/ref=pd_sim_b_2/102-5798163-6956167?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance).

I recommend Artemis Fowl. :eek

I also reccomend "Island" by Mathew Perry. That has to be one of the best books I have ever read.

[moi]

[Skulhedface]

marine a biography.
available someday

It's going to be two pages long, the pages will be stuck together, and the cover illustration will be lovingly rendered on the back of an Olive Garden Kids Menu with a knubby red crayon.

[Mr. Oysterhead]

Maybe he'll manage to fit the Necronomicon in there.

[kellychaos]

And a table of game codes that don't work.

[Johnyy Darko]

Survivor is a great book.

[neojester12]

Read back from the dead and then **something** deaths
Both are same sytle by same guy, but one is ORANGE and one is BLUE!!!!!

[Studio8]

Nothing says clever on the internet like pointing out someone's shortcomings.

[Emu]

Nothing says 'clever on the internet' like stealing Willie's jokes.

[Studio8]

What Do U Mean, Amy Sedaris Rules

[BobDole]

Anything by Harlan Ellison and Philip K. Dick, but especially Ellison's short story collection Strange Wine and Philip K. Dick's Flow my Tears, The Policeman Said and A Scanner Darkly.

[kahljorn]

i want to watch the new scanner darkly movie that came out that would be awesome :O the previews looked really good.

[BobDole]

It was a good movie, but the book is superior by far. Also, there are a few things in the movie you wouldn't get unless you read the book. Still, on it's own merits, the movie is an incredible movie, and one of the few movies where Keanu Reeves could be said to be "acting".

[Angryhydralisk]

The Death of WCW if you're into wrestling.

[kahljorn]

you mean he didn't go, "WHOA" or "COWABUNGA" or anything like that for an entire movie?

i forgot keanu was in this movie and we were worried he'd suck it all up.

I want you guys to remember when this thread was started. I don't think that they need more book recommendations. If they did, they would probably have made a new thread in the past, oh, 2 years.

:) You are probably right. I just figured Id throw a book on here and someone would loook at it out of curiosity anyways and maybe end up reading an awesome book in the meantime.

Dont lose hope. Im sure some of them can be saved. Myself not included I'm pretty hopeless myself. Although Im pretty surprised people kept posting recommendations after you informed them the futility of it.
