If you liked Eragon, you should read Eldest. And then Brisingir.
-

Umm i read the eragon cause umm my pc was broken basicly i dont like reading so much if i read like um first 5 pages illalready fall a sleep:D

/is reading an amazing mystery book.
It's called "The Alienist"
Set in the very early 1900's. like 1900-1910 I think.
It's about a group of people, one being the alienist, who's job is to look at criminals psychological being and determine if they are insane or not. (Lazlo) He is called, along with the story's main character, John, who is a journalist for the new york post or something, and a few others including Teddy Roosevelt, to track down a serial killer. A killer who gruesomely murders his victims. His victims usually being kids who participate in child prostitution, being gay boys or straight girls. He mutilates the bodys, chops off their genitals and gouges out their eyes. While the corrupt police agency's in New York try to hide the crimes and distort it all, Lazlo, John, Teddy and the others try to track down this killer using heavy psychological processes.
I fucking love this book so far. See I'm in love with Psychology and mystery solving, so the guy at Barnes and Noble's must of been a fucking psychic when he recommended this book. It's so fucking good.
Anyways. Other books I've read:
Power of Five Series- Fucking Great
> Both by Anthony Horowitz
Alex Rider Series- Pretty Decent
Zombie Survival Guide
>Both by Max Brooks I think. Fucking great, both of them.
World War Z
I don't read much, nothing ever holds my interest enough, such as these above books do.
-
But Alex Rider was LUCKY, and managed to fashion a rotating chainsaw out of a turtle, some string and powerplug. YEAH. J/K
The book sounds interesting, I might try it out. And goddammit you are so lucky of having a Barnes and Noble near you. When I visited NY and checked out that bookstore, I stayed hours! I bought more or less 6 books, I think. Would have bought a lot more if money had allowed it.
-
Yeah, there's two or three within a 20 minute drive. lol They have starbucks built into them so I can grab a frapafrocomochalochachino late when I want. :D
I love B&N though lol
-
My book list cannot be defeated.
-
Although I'm sure I will be reminded of any and all books that I forgot to put on the list.
-
The Satanic Bible by Anton Szander Lavey
The Satanic Rituals: Companion to The Satanic Bible by Anton Szandor LAVey
Even if Satanism explores some interesting unique facets, its still just another silly religion. I suggest you do not buy this, since I do not believe you will find them attractive at all.
-
You should give the Foundation Series by Asimov a try, they are very interesting.
-
The Satanic Books are mostly to keep the Christians away. Seemed easier then rubbing pigs blood on my walls.
But i do admit to being a little curious about them.
I also believe that the pursuit of knowledge should be unrestricted and unbiased.
-
you know the pigs blood might help protect you against jews too. Just thinking you know 2 birds one stone......
-

Man why on Earth is this thread so dead...
Read the last two pages and you could probably see why...
-
Thread cleansed. God, some of the things I had to sift though...
Let's try to stay on topic, for once in our damned lives.
BOOKS:
Right now, finishing Inferno by Dante Alighieri, translation by Allen Mandelbaum. I also recommend Robert Pinsky's translation.
Recently read The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas by John Boyne. It's frigging depressing, but definitely worthwhile.
-
Hmm Master and Commander. Very good book if you know the language of the sea, otherwise somewhat confusing I suppose.

Little Brother - Cory Doctorow

Dresden Files -Jim Butcher
