I second Stiff. That's one of my favorite books.

Re: #47 - Book Recommendations

I recomend anything by Bernard Cornwell. He writes historical fiction by creating a character and inserts them into historical events that actually happened. I recomend his Archer Books, or his Grail Series, also Agincourt (Azincourt).  If you're interested in the middle ages, then I can't recomend these enough.

Re: #47 - Book Recommendations

I don't even remember how to link to our store, let alone set up new items. We stopped using it quite a while ago because it wasn't really doing much. (I think over the course of its maybe-a-year run with new items added weekly, it made us on the order of five bucks.)

Re: #47 - Book Recommendations

I am now listening to the World War Z audio book. I read half the book before I got distracted by another book.

Re: #47 - Book Recommendations

Oh my god, Good Omens is amazing. My favorite book of all time, probably.

Also, I read The Stranger this summer, and it hit me hard, man. Good stuff, there.

I think we should live in a utopia where anyone can read any book for free!

Here in Britain, books are a great way to avoid hearing about the royal womb for the next few months

not long to go now...

Re: #47 - Book Recommendations

One of my favourite authors happens to be Scottish - Iain M. Banks.

If expansive space-opera is your thing, begin the Culture series with Consider Phlebas.
He also writes fucked up fiction as Iain Banks. Start with The Wasp Factory.

I also love the fuck out if pretty much everything Kurt Vonnegut ever wrote.
