Psycho Child Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 *cough*The Art of War*cough* Ohh, good movie! But, I mean, it's Wesley Snipes. How can it not be good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-D&Der Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I have an original print of The Way of All Flesh. I'm a bit of a bibliophile. Heh that has to be the last one on the list I expected anyone to know. Good read back from the time when I was rebelling against my father in college.

The Professor Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Homer, Ovid, Plato and Aristotle really define the concept of the thinking man, the fathers of Philosophy for me Metamorphoses is a good read Aristotle's Poetics is essential to aspiring writers Dialogues of Plato...... I really have no clue how many books I have read during the course of my life and I am only at the 1/4 mark.....wish I had a photographic memory.....really I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aulian Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I have to say Plato's stuff will get you thinking thats for sure.. Socrates is also a good one for fighting off alzheimer's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iusedtobesomebody Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 re The Professor: The only reason I name those two particular Rice books, is because they step outside of the box and put a vampire in new situations. A vampire longing to become human again, then does and hates it, is superb. I actually based my vamp app on that premise. Then, mixing 'vampires' and religion (albeit completely whacked IMO) was also a new twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieman Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Anything Heinlein. Starship Troopers: To my knowledge the first use of powered armor, powered armor ftw. The Sixth Collumn: Best book I have ever read, forming a religion to make an army rules. Friday: Gene-boosting is soon to come. Green Hills of Earth: Great collection of Heinlein short stories, protecting a nuke till your last breath is everyone's duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pali Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky I, Jedi by Michael A. Stackpole The entire X-Wing series by a variety of authors, as well as the Thrawn trilogy and Hand of Thrawn duology by Timothy Zahn The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit... everyone knows who they're by October Sky by Homer H. Hickam Jr. Darkness at Noon by Aurthur Koestler Magic Kingdom for Sale: Sold by Terry Brooks Last but not least, War Letters compiled by Andrew Carroll. Reading this book was one of the most moving experiences of my life... it is a compilation of real letters submitted by families/descendants/museums of soldiers and their families during the Civil War, both World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, and the recent conflicts in Kosovo and Africa. It's an incredible and very personal look into what and how these people felt and thought back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cephirus Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Pali, good call on the Darkness at Noon, thank you high school english. For a while I thought no one was going to mention the Sword of Truth series... a very excellent series, although there are maybe two or three books I feel a bit "eh" about. Dirty Truths by Michael Parenti - Everyone should read this book, an interesting look into the U.S government and some of the economic and socioeconomic situations that have evolved in the last century. The Myth series by Robert Asprin is funny. The Prince by Machiavelli is an excellent look into the different types of rulers and the different ways they can rule and how the outcome of that rule will go, using examples in history. Honky by Darby Conley - An interesting look into a white male growing up in brooklyn in the late 70's early 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho Child Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I'd rather watch a Wesley Snipes movie than an Eddie Murphy movie any day... But now I'm derailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quigt Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Dragons of the Autumn Twilight, and anything in the Margaret Weis-Tracy Hickman series. The Iliad and the Odyssey The Alphabet of Manliness by Maddox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieman Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 The day we have a forum thread more than a page long that has no derailings is the day I say that George W. Bush is/was a good president. 3+ pages, suck it. BTW another great book was Eaters of The Dead, the book the movie The 13th Warrior was based on. Finally a movie just as good as the book!
