Recommend a book…

o_atari · 08-08-2006, 09:49 PM

In need of a decent holiday book! I'm not normally big on reading (although I do enjoy it when I have the time) so it needs to be easy to digest, and preferably something funny.

Books I've read and liked that I can remember...

Addict
Stupid White Men (Got tedious though)
Porno
Are YOU Dave Gorman?
Googlewhack Adventure

No Sci-Fri please (ffs)

Slaughterhouse Five or Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut.

o_catzeyes93 · 08-08-2006, 10:01 PM

I can suggest a good smut... er... ah... ahem... romance book. Wait a sec... you are a guy... why on earth would you want to read a romance novel? oh hold it a second... read it and you might actually learn a thing or two about what a woman wants under the linens. hehe... anyway. It is your basic vampire / carpathian race / human romance type book, but is very good. I have the whole 16 book series.

Quote:

Dark Prince by Christine Feehan.

He came to her in the night, a predator -- strength and power chiseled his features. The seduction was deep and elemental; he affected her soul. His need. His darkness. His terrible haunting loneliness. Her senses aroused, she craved the dangerous force of his body. Burned for him. And he had only touched her with his mind.
She came to him at dawn, his bleakest hour. As the beast raged inside him, threatening to consume him, he vented his centuries-old despair in an anguished cry that filled the waning night. And she answered, a ray of light, piercing his darkness. A beautiful angel. Her compassion, courage, and innocence awakened in him an exquisite longing and tenderness. He knew he must possess her, for only she could tame his savage side and lift the dark shadow from his soul. Apart they were desolate, bereft. Intertwined physically and spiritually, they could heal one another and experience an eternity of nights filled with love.

A Parliament of Whores. Old but still funny IMO.

I'm with Colbert, I hate reading. You should too.

o_dancingfool · 08-09-2006, 01:23 AM

Colbert knows everything. I've been looking for such an upstanding person to take advice from for a while, and I found him on the first episode of the Colbert Report. Damn, he is so upstanding and full of truthiness. Not to mention he's an American.

o_nezumi · 08-10-2006, 02:11 AM

Pratchett has come up a few times on these boards, but you just can't reccomend him enough. So here goes:
Read Thief of Time, The Night Watch, or Wierd Sisters. Or any other book by him. Those 3 would be good places to start.

P.S. Did FT just suggest Hyperion by Dan Simmons? No fucking way!

o_frenchtoast · 08-10-2006, 02:20 AM

Way!

o_nezumi · 08-10-2006, 02:43 AM

I know he said no SF but that series is the best SF there is.

o_frenchtoast · 08-10-2006, 02:49 AM

Hah, didn't even read the first post. But yeah, incredible series whether you're a sci-fi fan or not.
