I need a book to read!!! Gimme book titles!!!

And no Heinlein or Asmiov!!! :\

Something big or small?

Small - I know you like Star Trek so those can be a neat quick read.

Large - COT. You might as well. It's been out a while and it would help you to understand what people are talking about during their critiques. It would also help you formulate your own opinion about it.

Star Trek is good but I've read enough of those...I *own* enough of those.

And I'm not reading COT until either A) the price for it comes way down or B) the library buys new copies since the people who got to them first ripped out pages and burned them :mischief:

Get a copy through another library

Larry Niven! :D
Arthur C. Clarke!

Philip Pullman!
Orson Scott Card, but not the bad ones, the good ones :P

Really? Cool!

the Honor Harrington series by David Weber :yeah:

Not really...no... :ohwell:

but they should have :mischief: but I am seriously not reading any more wot books until the series finishes. It's my way of protesting :).

Oh yeah...to add to my list of "no no"s is anything by Anne Rice, Danielle Steel, any pink cover book, or Jean M. Auel...oh...and anything Kundor recommends is an automatic "no no" ;) :P

Actually...right now i am reading the book Enemy Women which I expect to finish Saturday...it's a historical fiction type thingy...I'm liking it so far.

And I have a complaint about Miami's online library book search. I put in a search for Dave Barry and was told there was no author with that name in the databanks. So I do a search for Barry suspecting that the computer was lying. I find Dave Barry and find his books. I click the book titles to find their numbers so that i can get them. Each link sent me to another author's work. I was very annoyed :(.

I don't think school libraries usually carry those kinds of books.

College campus does. And he was in their database...but their links and such are messed up.

Leisure reading is offered on campus and no library is complete without Dave Barry :|

I also have easy access to a Lane library

try something by Lois McMaster Bujold. I hope I spelled that correctly...

you have to search last name first, silly.

worked properly when I was looking up other authors :P

Lawrence Watt-Evens'

Dragon Chronicles are really good. It's a trilogy and yes they are all out.

The Book of Bunny Suicides, it'll take less than 10 minutes, but it was cathartic for me.

T.A.Z. - The Temporary Autonomous Zone, Ontological Anarchy, Poetic Terrorism

:smug:

Magician, by Raymond Feist.

Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austin

Because it's awesome!

:glee:

Awesome and awful are etymologically equivalent. I'll just assume you mean the other. :P

You assume incorrectly! :P

I'll save you the reading time.

Liz: "Darcy is a jerk! I'd never marry him! Wah!"
Darcy: "What? I'm really not a jerk."
Liz: "Oh, ok, let's get married."

You know if you're stumped looking through books, sometimes comic books are the way to go. Personally I just picked up Wanted #2 and if your idea of a good read is watching your normal everday nobody who hates his whole life but feels trapped in it, by his neurotic new age, whimpy-ass beliefs, degrade into a murderous bastard at the sudden cessastion of consequences, it's for you. If horrendous brutality and a pretty neat premise isn't your thing though, there are other great reads out there. The Sandman is tame in the violence area after the whole diner thing. There are plenty of others out there that while not made for children aren't chocked full of ultra-violence, my little drooge (It's been a while so I may not have spelled that right). Might wanna give comics a try if you don't think you're too cool for them (you used to post on a wot board so I'm guessing no).

Thank you, BookA-Minute.

What did you do, read the book as a high school literature assignment?

But yes, I did .

In senior year in EnglishCarrollton excellent essay about it

I said I'd have to write an excellent essay about it .

Huh? What?

I don't think that middle sentance makes sense. :(

Maybe it's just me.

Or maybe it's YOU!

As you'd know if anyone paid attention to my random posts :cry: i made all my posts last night using speech dictation.

it doesn't work so well.

The Book of Bunny Suicides is warped bunny humor at it's awesomest....

If you don't mind Oprah Book Club stuff: Anne Marie Mcdonald's "Fall on your knees"

Have you ever tried Terry Prachett his stuff can be pretty funny.

Can you reccommend some good star trek books? I seem to find a lot of crappy ones.

Star trek books are generally all of the same quality. The big ones can be better -- Enterprise, First Contact (not the movie, the book that was long before the movie!) and ones like that.

Terry pratchett is indeed good.
