JynxDaddy Posted August 25, 2004 Author Report Posted August 25, 2004 I knew someone would filth up this thread, suprised it was zilla :\ How could a book thread in a gaming forum go without Hitchhikers! The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide Quote
madcow Posted August 25, 2004 Report Posted August 25, 2004 I have those books, but im yet to read them. I highly recommend Feist to anyone who likes Tolkien..that inside delta force reminded me that i want to read the books by Andy McNabb, Immediate Action, Bravo Two Zero etc.. Quote
FrieChamp Posted August 25, 2004 Report Posted August 25, 2004 "Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy"! That's one of the few books I read (following zaphod's recommendation). Quote
Skjalg Posted August 25, 2004 Report Posted August 25, 2004 After I read everything Tolkien had written, My brother (who has read almost every book there is under the genre "fantasy") told me that I should start on this series of books by an Author Named David Eddings. The Belgariad was the series named... it was so awesome, like... TONS better than Tolkien. Now Ive read everything he has written too, except his latest book, which isnt fantasy... Quote
insta Posted August 25, 2004 Report Posted August 25, 2004 "Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy"! That's one of the few books I read (following zaphod's recommendation). Its a great book, but a bit short :/ Quote
Taylor Posted August 25, 2004 Report Posted August 25, 2004 I read the discworld series by Terry Pratchett (described as a less-cynical Douglas Adams) during mai lunch hour. I've heard, apart from The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, Tolkien is a bit... err, crappy. And I must admit I was nearly going to give up reading during the council chapter, I prevailed though, not least of all because I thought Gimli was cool. So I wasn't overly impressed when he was portrayed as a useless midget whose only use was to be the target of "lol, he is the small" jokes in the films. CRIE. Quote
Bluestrike Posted September 18, 2004 Report Posted September 18, 2004 I read every book writen by Andy McNab and Matthew Reilly (just ordered the 2 latest of each) Furthermore I read any book writen by a ex-SAS and other books falling in the techno-thriller category. Quote
Fullauto Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 I read trash like Tom Clancy to pass the long sleepless nights. Last worthwhile fiction book I read was Fahrenheit 451. Mostly I read popular science books. Currently reading this one: Homo Necans I lost it about a year ago, so I'm having to start again. Quote
Izuno Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 I read every book writen by Andy McNab and Matthew Reilly (just ordered the 2 latest of each) Furthermore I read any book writen by a ex-SAS and other books falling in the techno-thriller category.
