Right, someone fill me in, what the hell is "Dude, where's my country?" and why the hell is it so great?

[karajorma]

Latest Michael Moore book. The guy who won an oscar for Bowling for Columbine. Basically he explains all about Bush's corruption amongst other things.

[J3Vr6]

Bah, I don't think I could read him.  He's too one sided, bias, and enjoys skewing information and reality in whatever way will fit with what he's whining about this time around.  Yeah he's funny, hilarious even.  But I don't think I'd read a book of his.  I'd get the feeling my mind was cluttered with filth.

[Liberator]

Currently, The Naked God by Peter F. Hamilton.  

Space Opera at it finest.

Next, The Ultimate Weight Solution: The 7 Keys to Weight Loss Freedom by Phil McGraw.

[Nuclear1]

Tank Lords by David Drake.
Starliner by same.
Lord Valentine's Castle by Robert Silverberg.

[Flipside]

The Lair of Bones - David Farland

4th book of an absolutely awesome series called 'Runelords' well recommended

[Rictor]

Currently re-reading The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, though not in any order, just a bit here and there. Utterly, utterly, uterrly, utterly brilliant book.

next up, Fight Club.

edit: And here's a question to all you Douglas Adams fans out there. I loved THHGTTG, so would I enjoy any of Adams' other books?

Oh and, wasn't Crimes and Punishment by Cesare Beccaria, a criminal-law philosopher during the Enlightenment period? In case you're wondering, I did a project on him, thats how I know.

[Lynx]

Just finished 'Nightwatch' by Terry Pratchett, currently reading 'Fleet action' a Wing Commander novel.

The first three in the Hitchhikers Series were hilarious. The last two were funny but not as good (still worth reading though).

Depends on your opinions beforeheand.... I'm not a big(!) fan of Bush, so I agreed with a lot of stuff he said in the 2 books I've got (for Xmas) - although there was some stuff I felt was a bit overdone.  He does raise a lot of good points, though.

Lynx, Nightwatch is brilliant, but if you get the chance, read 'Wee Free Men' it's his best in years

I agree. Its very segmented that way, the first 3 books being as one, and the last 2 books as another. I think that the last 2 books were less about wacky, random events and all that, and more about actual human emotions and interactions. I liked the first 3 better, but it was all very good. Though some bits during the last 2 books were a bit on the sad side.

I meant any of Adams' book other than the HHGTTG series, since I have the omnibus edition of it (A Trilogy in Five Parts). Stuff like *goes to find book* Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, The Meaning of Liff (as well as The Deeper Meaning of Liff), Starship Titanic and so forth.

As for Michael Moore, though I agree with his politics (ends), I do not *always* agree with his arguements (means). Funny guy though, and very persuasive.

Funny you should mention Morgoth's Ring. Today, I picked up a book at random from a small pile in my room, and guess what: Morgoth's Ring. I've read (well, read some, skimmed the rest) of the extended Hsitory of Middle-Earth, and one particular chapter in Morgoth's Ring has really captivated me.

Athrabeth Finrod Ah Andreth.

A conversation held between Finrod and Andreth, a human woman. Its very thought-out and very deep, and does an excellent job on answering (or atleast clarifying for further study) some of the finer point of Tolkien's mythology. Such things as hope, the destiny of Elves and Men in Ea, the division of body and spirit and so forth. I very much recommend that you read it. For the die-hard Tolkienite only, as its by no means an easy read. But if you are interested in some of the deeper questions in Tolkien's universe; by all means: read it.
