Since you've read Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, have you heard of Sense & Sensibility & Sea Monsters or Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter? All three are by the same author.


I did see those at the book store. Someday when I have money again, I'll have to pick one up. I leafed thru the Abe Lincoln one and it seemed funny. I've never been a fan of Sense and Sensibility so we'll see about that one.

I read Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter about a month ago. It was pretty good. I picked the book up on the premise alone, as it had me busting a gut in the bookstore. People probably thought I was loony. It turned out to be a pretty good read.

Read "The Great Bridge" by David McCullough (about the Brooklyn Bridge)
Reading "Wicked" right now and damn that book is FUCKED UP

Wicked SUCKED...Yeah, it was dark, but I don't need to have to keep looking at a dictionary for words. Fuck that noise.

Read "Holes" if you haven't. "Winds of Dune" is a worthy read for a Dune fan.

Back when I was a kid, I got "Holes" for Xmas. I read it within a few days because it was such a good book. I loved it. It's actually sitting on the book shelf by my computer, now that I think of it.

I've read a lot of stuff by him and oretty much everything is great. He has a way to make sometimes stuffy material easy to get through.

I'm reading Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee right now. Good book. It was made into a movie starring John Malkovich last year. I haven't seen the film.

Which "Holes", the one where the kid gets dumped in a lake and told to dig motherfucker, or is there a different book with the same name?

Just got done reading The Driver by Alexander Roy. Really good book if you're into driving, racing, or cars. It details his record-breaking transcontinental run from NYC to LA and his Gumball adventures.

I never read books but I recently read Beyond Belief by Josh Hamilton. After reading this it make me wonder how he actually survived all the drugs he did.

One Bullet Away-Nathanial Fick.

War-Sebastian Junger. This was the book he wrote before Restrepo came out. You want a real satisfying read hit this up and then watch Restrepo.
