Top 3 Books
 

Jarworski from Wales on 2001-12-19 22:20 [#00062610]



Nothing to do with Aphex I know...but I love books and was
wondering what people's top 3 faves are (iff u reed, thatt
iss); Mine are: 1. 'American Psycho' - Bret Easton Ellis; 2.
'Wizard And Glass' - Stephen King; 3. 'The Beach' - Alex
Garland


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-12-19 22:26 [#00062612]



my favorite is probably It by Stephen King... great book...
also, I'm reading the Wheel of Time series now, currently
I'm almost finished book 5, and I'm getting book 6 for
Christmas... that's an awesome series...


 

Jarworski from Wales on 2001-12-19 22:27 [#00062613]



Hahaha! I messed up and put WAG in instead of IT.... you are
a cool dude, Funkmaster!

selfish gene- richard dawkin
evolution isn't what it used to be- ?
fractal geometry of nature- mandelbrot (but only because of
the main idea it set, the general reading was torture)
natures numbers- ?
patterns in nature- ?
the orion book of evolution- ?
encyclopedias are the best reading because they are so
generalized on many subjects, not a single one.


 

beetlebum on 2001-12-19 23:28 [#00062626]



Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Hunter S Thompson...

Card


 

Ironlung from Dark side of the moon on 2001-12-20 01:17 [#00062647]

SiNai on 2001-12-20 01:52 [#00062650]



You said it buddy! Enders Game and Enders Shadow were most
definitely the best though, the rest were.. yea.


 

SiNai on 2001-12-20 01:54 [#00062651]



Oh, and the very end of the series let me down bigtime. In
v5 will there be the option to edit messages? I think of
things after I've already posted often..

sinista six thou from the refridgerator on 2001-12-20 15:50 [#00062815]



1. Siddhartha (hermanne hesse) 2. Brave New World (a.
huxley)

i'm currently reading "requiem for a dream" by hubert selby
(jr.?), and i have a feeling that it's going to take this
spot or the #2 spot. But i have to throw in "cat's cradle"
by k. vonnegut, too.


 

borix on 2001-12-20 16:18 [#00062816]



All series in my list:
Dune - Frank Herbert
Hyperion - W. Hatshisnameagain?
Foundation - Isaac Asimov

Shit almost forgot:
Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance and the sequal
Lila are briljant too. Also from the very famous writer W.
Hatshisnameagain?



 

m on 2001-12-20 17:20 [#00062838]



I really liked the first dark tower by steven king, "the
gunslinger". That was one of my favorite works of fiction. I
also read the second in the series, but that was totally
weird, still pretty good but not as good as the first. It
got weird when he started finding doors to portals in new
york city or something. Then I read a bit of the 3rd, only
the part where the giant bear was crashing through the
woods, and a little ways after, but it sort of lost the feel
of the original "gunslinger" so I stopped reading it...


 

Taxi on 2001-12-20 17:29 [#00062848]



Illuminatus Trillogy - Robet anton wilson and robert shea

Almost anything by Kurt Vonnegut

I just read Zen and the art of motercycle maintenance and it
was very good. A bit dated, but good nonetheless.

Snow Crash by Niel Stevenson is also pretty fun.


 

Taxi on 2001-12-20 17:30 [#00062849]



I forgot to mention Cryptonomicon by Niel Stevenson as well.
Fun fun fun... pretty heavy tho.


 

Xanatos from NYC on 2001-12-20 18:19 [#00062864]



One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest - Ken Kesey
A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess
Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien

those aren't the best, just the one's currently on my mnd.

Hitchhiker's Guide is great, the funniest books I've ever
read.

Also the MYTH Inc. Books by Robert Aspirin. I don't know
how popular these were or if anyone remembers them but they
were fuckin' great.

the winter of our discontent - steinbeck

i just got through with it and i loved it

Netlon Sentinel from yurp on 2001-12-20 18:52 [#00062872]



dude

if you like english (well, scottish, really) humour with a
sick twist, a tad horror, sometimes some sci-fi and always
truly great stories: check out iain banks.

iain m. banks is his pseudonym for his insanely imaginative
scifi work.

trust me on this one!!

funniest books i've ever read.
