I have discovered that China and Spain are really one and the same country, and it's only ignorance that leads people to believe they are two seperate nations. If you don't belive me try writing 'Spain' and you'll end up writing 'China'."

The Republic is good... its just that I had to read it for class.... somehow that takes away something from the book... although there have been a few exceptions...Without music life would be a mistake - Nietzsche

yeah, the Han Solo ones were cool, but natrually of course, Han being a badass and all...Originally posted by Lord_Davinator
I always thought the Star wars books on Hans Solo were really good... I know A.C.Crispen(hope I got the spelling) wrote a series on his early days which were rather nice... The title of the books slip my mind
Black Hawk Down - by Mark Bowden
Probably my favorite book ive ever read, much easier to follow and gave much more in depth background and stuff than the movie. The story is only made greater by the fact that all that stuff actually happened, and everything those men did was real...

Pratchett is the best.

pratchett seems to be following copy & paste templates a bit much lately for my tastes. At least one book recently is alleged to have been put together from ideas contained in fan mail to him. Don't get me wrong I like the Guards Guards mini-series a lot but I've gone off his work a lot compared to the early days.
i'm enjoying "berlin - the downfall 1945" by antony beevor at the moment. this & his previous stalingrad book are absolute quality history. hmm that reminds me, have to get my stalingrad book back from my dad. I know he's a slow reader but he's had it for about 18 months now...Comment
