God Emperor was the last book I read too. But nothing beats the original.

"Do androids dream of electronic sheep" by philip k dick.

The whole "HHGTTG" by douglas adams. (for the second time)

Recently tried to read "fight club", but the book sucks if you remember how the movie ends :wink:

Currently reading the civil war in the comic universe. I was never a big fan of comics, but the current storyline kicks ass.

An accident happens, 600 people die. Including a whole school of children.
Every masked hero and villian must unmask, register and help capture the others. Otherwise they're considered enemy's of the united states.
You got tony stark on the one side, captain america on the other...

'MYOB Business Basics', 'Motion: Revolutionary Motion Graphics', 'Flash MX for Dummies', and the Live 6 manual.

I don't do fiction. There's enough reality for me, and so much to learn!

There is NOTHING about the film that makes the book suck. IMHO.

Last book I read cover to cover was Ecological Imperialism by Alfred Crosby, I think his name was. It was quite interesting. There's a review and a quote here.

Meh, if you know he's shizophrenic...
There's not much sense in the story of tyler (IMHO)

I prefer absurd stuff like the hitchhikers guide and discworld.
Which probably are the most unpredictable books i've ever read...

The "red dwarf" books are pretty cool too. I wonder if they'll ever finish the movie :wink:

My hat's off to you. You're only the second person I know of who claims to have read FW. I love Dubliners, Portrait, Ulysses, but the first page of FW numbs me. I guess it's because I only know one language and a tiny part of a second. And Joyce can be obscure enough even when he's sticking to straight English.

For pure reading pleasure, it's hard to beat Charles Portis:
The Dog of the South
True Grit
Norwood
Masters of Atlantis
Gringos

"The Electric Cool Aid Acid Test" by Tom Wolfe. I read it once a year. The language Wolf uses is brilliant
"The world is sound" a book I'me reading now, forget the writer (@ work now) it is brilliant ;he connects quantumfysica to tao. And shares his vision how all that we know is nothing more than sound or frequency. Tune in ;tune out ; on ; off ; yes ;no ; sound ; no sound. He proofs how the distance between the planets in this solarsystem are exactly in proportion as an E chord ; and so on.
