so what kind of book do you read? and if there was to be one book you think everyone should read, what is it?

i myself am an avid reader. from the harry potter series to don quixote.
if there was one book i would have people read it would be "100 years of solitude" by garcia marquez. he is a great writer, i have a small collection of his work.

so what do you read and why? also do you write anything? i have about 4 stories runing through my head i just can't seem to sit down and put them on paper.

maybe soon i'll have the time to dedicate to my writing.

i'm not the biggest fan of "satanic" followings. my mothers has been a witness of demonic possesions(thats one of the stories i want to write about) and that kind of pushes me away from any kind of evil oriented "religion".

but if it makes sense to you then go for it. as long as you don't hurt anybody by following some of its principles or "laws".

i'll add that link to my favs and sit one of this days to read through it. we will see if it makes as much sense as christianity...

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley; 1984 by George Orwell; Alas Babylon by Pat Frank. See a pattern erupting here?

I have a weird literary taste. I like medical thrillers. Something about rhesus monkeys and Ebola really peaks my interest. Oh, and anything about marketing. I think marketing is one of the most interesting subjects. I'm a cook, so books about life in the kitchen are also cool. Also For Dummies books and other self help books, and last but not least computer tutorials, mostly LAMP programming... and anything by Brian Jacques.

A couple suggestions...

Sellevision
Rocking the Ages
Smack
If You Can Stand the Heat
Poor Things
Hot Zone

CURRENT READ: The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama

brave new world is on my nightstand, i have tried to read it in the past but never had the time to dedicate to it. so i finally got it out of the shelf and i'm getting into it again.

also "the giver"(sorry forgot the author) great book. kind of follows your suggestions.

brickhardmeat · 05-22-2007, 11:21 PM

The first books I read because I wanted to were...

Aldous Huxley The Doors of Perception and Brave New World

I really enjoyed Manson in His Own Words, Squeaky The Life and Times of Lynette Fromme, Fassbinder, Desperate Visions, Patty Hearst:Her Own Story, Disco Bloodbath

Lately my reading has been limited to i-D and Paper magazines and these goddamn forums

Pheckin ah! I would have enjoyed the being the Mullah of my tribe.

I was in that area once (long ago) and found the culture very interesting to say the least. But of course I didn't have any time to take in the sites.
