Too bad you'll never be able to practice it.
Books? The "Dune" series, almost anything by Lovecraft, Pratchett's Discworld series, almost anything by Douglas Adams, Gibson's cyberpunk literature, Tolkien's "Silmarillion" and LotR, and of course "Surely you're joking, Mr Feynman?" by Feynman and "A Brief History of Time" by Hawking.
-
Nice.
-
Of Mice And Men
:rage
-
I hate reading fictions in general.
-
Somehow I read "What do books look like?" as title & Was expecting a troll or something xD
Well, I dont really like books, But I enjoyed one we had to read for school that included some peeps falling in love :3
It was cute... I guess... Specially reading "Then i felt his penis, It felt like a beating piece of ham" xD

LOL

Where the red furn grows.
It's a fern, not a furn.
"The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels & Demons" are both awesome books.
-
Elizabeth Moon. Easy.
A good series of Dorothy Dunnett books will steal a couple of your years.
-
Malcolm Rose's TRACES are absolutely hilarious due to one of the main characters.
I'll read anything that's not too boring, girly, disgusting or stupid.
-
Animal Farm, Lord Of The Flies, 1984, Johnny Got His Gun, The Call of Cthulhlu, Moby Dick, The Communist Manifesto, The Anarchist's Cookbook, A Curtain has Descended Over Europe. Old books mainly.
-
Where the red furn grows.
for some reason i always thought it would be awesome to hunt raccoons all days and sell the fur and meat.
also i love when someone bring up the topic of books and people say the books they had to read in school.

Ok, I'll be honest, I had to read of mice and men, but chekmate (the whole series of Noughts and Crosses, for that matter) was my choice. And they were awesome.

I prefer fantasy novels. Some of my favorites include The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (of course). The Sword of Truth (and it's sequels) By Terry Goodkind, and any of R.A. Salvatore's Drizz't books.

I don't like to read, but here's some audio books I have listened to that helps me play RA2.
Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets
The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do about It
Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
TTC Game Theory
TTC Chaos Theory
TTC Understanding Complexity
Sun Tzu the Art of War
The 33 Strategies of War
Though I wonder if anyone else who read them notice how useful they are in bot building.
-
Horrid Henry
Beast Quest
.....more Horrid Henry......
thats about it!
-
Err...
Fight Club, Survivor, Lullaby, Less Than Zero, American Psycho (creepier than I expected), Slaughterhouse-Five, Breakfast of Champions, Timequake, Jailbird, Cat's Cradle, and Catch-22.
-
Let us see...
Moby Dick, the Dune series (though I only read the first 2 books and the one when Leto II ascends to what can only be called godhood), Lord of the Rings, The Call of the Wild, Animal Farm, most of Jules Verne... What else...
On more realistic books, I loved both Machiavelli's The Prince AND Sun Tzu's The Art of War. And yeah, I can see how that last one can be useful even here. It looks like it can be adapted to any conflictual situation.
-
More of my books (they are mixed genres.)
Bunny suicides: just plain funny.
Horrible histories
Horrible science
Horrible geography
Murderous maths
The knowledge
Artemis Fowl
Blart: the boy who did'nt want to save the world.

Yeah, Slaughterhouse-Five is one of my favorite books. Actually most Kurt Vonnegut is damn good.

Hallo Mr. Classic reader. You like classic fantasy? Try Dorothy Dunnett. One of the best writers ever, if very challenging for the average reader.

I'm guessing that S_M's favourite book would be The Apes of Wrath :coolface:
