i think the best book ive ever read what the da vinci code by dan brown. that book makes me want to go back to europe and look at everything again, right now im reading angels and demons by dan brown... its a prequil to da vinci code... i am thuroghly enjoying the crap out of it

 

Anything by Hunter S. Thompson...also Unintended Consequences by John Ross (I think).

 

Stephen King's Dark Tower Series

 

The last book I read was "Halo: The FLood" yes, they made novels based off the xbox game, and they have a series of about 4 or 5, they are good books, IMO, but thy can sometimes be sickineing when they go into detail about things.

i remember something like "The soldier was then thrown into the air to come back down landing in a pile of his own intestines"

stuff like that, but, good book, theres my psot!@

 

"Maximum Boost" corky Bell

Non-fiction:
Lots of stuff I have read, most recently "The Sea Hunters" by Clive Cussler about his real experiences in finding old shipwrecks. I like anything to do with sea history, when I had a crap class in college I used to go by the library and check out a book on a marine disaster. Hey, at least I stayed awake!

 

reeeeaading? what is this "reeeading" you speak of? i dont need to read the da vinci code cuz history channel always has some damn show about it and everybody keeps talks about, i pretty much know the book by heart now. if i could write a cliff-hanger at the end of every chapter then i could write a "constant page turner" best selling novel too.

anyway, my fav books are visual quickstart guides by peachpit press, and pretty much any computer-do-it-yourself-tutorial-related book.

 

I like non fiction. Here's a couple of good ones that I read recently:

The Animal Factory, by Edward Bunker
The Animal factory goes deep into San Quentin, a world of voilence and paranoia, where territory and status are ever-changing and possibly fatal commodities. Ron Dekker is a newbie, a drug dealer who's shot at a short two-year stint in the can is threatened from inside and outside. He's got to keep a spotless record, or it's ten to life. But at San Quentin, no man can steer clear of the Brotherhoods, the race wars, the relentlessness. It soon becomes clear that some inmates are more equal than others; Earl Copen is one of them, an old-timer who has learned not to just survive but to thrive behind bars. Not much can surprise him-- but the bond he forms with Ron startles them both; it's a true education of a felon

Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side To The All-American Meal, by Eric Schlosser
Fast food has hastened the malling of our landscape, widened the chasm between rich and poor, fueled an epidmic of obesity, and propelled American cultural imperialism abroad. That's a lengthy list of charges, but Eric Schlossler makes them stick with an artful mix of first-rate reportage, wry wit, and careful reasoning.
Schlosser's myth-shattering survey stretches from California's subdivisions, where the business was born, to the inustrial corridor along the New Jersey turnpike, where many of today's fast food flavors are concocted. Along the way, he unearths a trove of fascinating, unsettling truths--from the unholy alliance between fast food and Hollywood, to the siesmic changes the industry has wrought in food production, popular culture, and even real estate.
