normiss 798 #10 October 4, 2006 I just finished "Skinny Dip" by Carl Hiaasen - fun reads in every book of his so far...but they are very Florida minded. In fact I have a W.E.B Griffin WWII book for my next one...I'm slow starting it because it is soooo serious in comparison. I think I would prefer another Carl Hiaasen right now!

legorowbot 0 #12 October 4, 2006 QuoteHitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (all 5 books). Quick, awesome read. I second that. Birdmen, Batmen, and Skyfliers is pretty good too.Why does it say "Append signature to post" when I don't have a signature? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Icon134 0 #15 October 4, 2006 I recommended this book to a friend about 4 months ago... its pretty good and is nonfiction its called... Life is So Good by George Dawson & Richard Glaubman its about a black manual laborer who learned to read at age 98, has written a memoir that stands apart from other end-of-the-century texts and from the history generally recorded in textbooks--but is essential to an accurate understanding of this century. I found it at a used bookstore and really enjoyed it...Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindercles 0 #16 October 4, 2006 If you're looking for something a little off the wall but not too particularly brain intensive, try A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole, Choke by Chuck Palahniuk (the guy who wrote Fight Club, also good), or pretty much anything Kurt Vonnegut or Irvine Welsh.

Ncrowe 0 #17 October 4, 2006 Almost anything by vonnegut...and another vote for palahniuk.... "Don't Mess Around With the Guy in Shades- Oh No!!! " Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JENNR8R 0 #18 October 4, 2006 Byzantium by Stephen R. Lawhead "The narrative has the excitement of a good fantasy novel, a vivid historical setting and a lengthy, credible and satisfying plot - just the elements, in fact, that have made Lawhead a commercial success time and again." Publishers Weekly "Engrossing with plenty of plot twists... Worthwhile for Lawhead regulars and historical-fantasy fans alike."

BillyVance 34 #19 October 4, 2006 Last book I read was "Cell" by Stephen King. Not his best book though, but I'm sure a movie will be made out of it..."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
