Post by: clips on July 16, 2005, 07:51:33 AM: i don\'t have any favorite authors...i\'ll read anything as well...as long as it\'s good. i mostly like that weird sci fi stuff. y\'know stories like the twighlight zone but with a strong suspenseful and freightful theme....a read a short story from a member here not too long ago, and his work was extremely impressive...i think it was ghetto, not sure, but whoever it was, i\'m hoping he finishes that horror story, it was really a good read...

Post by: Riku on July 16, 2005, 11:55:55 AM: I\'ve taken a liking to Jeffrey Deaver (The Bone Collector), Dan Brown (The DaVinci Code, Angels & Demons, and others), and Anne Rice.

I\'m currently dividing my reading time between three books; Queen of the Damned, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and a reading assignment for my summer Political Science course, God\'s Politics: Why the Right Gets it Wrong and the Left doesn\'t Get it.

I\'m searching for a new author, a good horror series and some good mystery/suspense novels would be great. Any suggestions?

Post by: Knotter8 on July 16, 2005, 12:15:57 PM: I\'m not a reader at all, but there\'s one book which i really like though ; "Het huis der Onbekenden" (House of the Unknown)
by Belgium writer Jos Vandeloo.

It\'s a surrealistic novel about a man comes home and doesn\'t recognize his wife and son anymore. He thinks it\'s a huge practical joke from the kid\'s school ; \'familiy switch for a day\'.

But the woman and kid he doesn\'t recognize as his family keep persistent in claiming they are indeed his wife and son........

Basically it\'s an existentialism book. Very gripping. Read it in about 2 evenings.

Post by: Ghettomath on July 16, 2005, 04:53:50 PM: Reading is cool guys! Seriously.

But screw Dan Brown.

I\'m a fan of the classics. If you haven\'t read:

Moby Dick
Gravity\'s Rainbow
The Magus
A Light in August
Anything Vonnegut
Atlas Shrugged

Please, take the summer and do yourself a favor.

Clips, I do write short stories, but I\'m never sure if I posted them in these forums before. Maybe it was someone else.

Post by: THX on July 16, 2005, 10:56:25 PM: In HS I used to like the Hardy Boys series and Christopher Pike for some cheesy horror fun.

Right now I just read the Bible everyday and waste my time on the internets way too much.

Post by: Samwise on July 16, 2005, 11:22:57 PM: I like classics and sci-fi, but basically I\'ll read anything good.

Right now I\'m reading \'Crime and Punishment\' by Dostojevskij. Next up is \'The Idiot\'. And after that \'Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the Tenth Dimension\'.

Post by: Bobs_Hardware on July 17, 2005, 01:13:43 AM: Currently reading through the Foundation novels by Asimov. They\'re fairly good.

Arthur C. Clarke is my favorite author. With the Rendevous with Rama novels being at the top of the list. Childhood\'s End is fantastic, too. Along with all his other stuff.

Post by: hyper on July 17, 2005, 04:53:31 PM: I\'m also into the classics. Books sitting on my shelf:

Les Miserables (books don\'t get any better than this)
Count of Monte Cristo (another personal favorite)
Three Musketeers (overrated)
Crime and Punishment (best I\'ve read from Dostoyevsky)
The Brothers Karamazov (a bore)
War and Peace (unnecessarily long)
Of Human Bondage (loved it)
East of Eden (a GREAT book, better than Grapes of Wrath IMO)
Emma + Pride and Prejudice (utter garbage)
The Tale of Genji (hopefully I\'ll get back to it someday)

Title: Ok for those who are not into hp books what do you like to read
Post by: GmanJoe on July 19, 2005, 07:17:01 AM: I was hooked on sex at 15. Yeah, in highschool, all I did was have sex with every girl I dated. Even the girlfriends of other guys. :) College, my life was like a long porn movie.....but with me in it. Wow. Glad I didn\'t catch anything.

Anyway, I\'ve settled down now. So...it\'s just sex on the couch or bed and no more kinky stuff like when I was a student (library, parking lot, movie theatre, GF\'s kitchen while her mom was watching TV....).

Sex = healthy exercise.
