The RECOMMENDED READING Thread... - Rape Board

Lemarchand · 09-10-2008, 10:49 AM

Hello again my friends, you're all probably sick of me coming up with these new threads. lol

No games here, just simply recommend to everyone on the board a book you love to read.

Regards,

Lemarchand

Lemarchand · 09-10-2008, 10:51 AM

Author - Clive Barker

Book - Weaveworld

I know it's 21 years old, and perhaps is a bit dated as far as Barkers development as an author since that time. However I just love it!

theDarkOne · 09-10-2008, 04:22 PM

Im going to start with the Kenzie-Gennaro novels...by Dennis Lehane
* A Drink Before the War
* Darkness, Take My Hand
* Sacred
* Gone, Baby, Gone

You see DarkOne. You should have heeded my warning at the head of my movie thread. Once you open the box to gaze upon the delightfully perverse wonders within...you leave yourself vulnerable and powerless to forces you can't possibly understand.

Your thoughts are mine now DarkOne...AS IS YOUR SOUL!!!!! Mwuhahahahahaaaaaaa!

Beardy · 09-12-2008, 08:26 PM

MMMM. The perfect thread for a compulsive reader as me.
Let me recommend several books. :

My favorite book:
100 years of solitude.
Author: Gabriel García Márquez

A good recent book I´ve just read:
Brooklyn follies
Author: Paul Auster

A great XX century classic for those who dare...:
The sound and the fury
Author: William Faulkner

I think I´ll post here often...

Gut Symmetries - Jeanette Winterson.

It's got loads of cool stuff: Love triangle, Lesbians, Cannabalism, Super-string theory, Quantum mechanics, Diamonds imbedded in peoples spine. It's a cool read and a great example of post-modernist double coding.

11-20-2008, 12:38 PM

The Shape of things to Come - H.G. Wells

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress - Robert Heinlein (Not what you pervs might think it is)

Im going to have to check that out,Thanks Conrad!

World War Z
Max Brooks wrote a how to Book about Surviving a world with Zombies.
(a fun F**king read)
Then he wrote WWZ.A serious take on a world wide Zombie plague.It's an intense read and cool to see a very realistic story about zombies.
They are about to turn it into a movie with Mark Forster(Quantum of Solace)Directing.
Here's the Wikipedia page for it..

mifje · 11-20-2008, 03:53 PM

EA cyclus from David Zindell. It's fantasy serie of 5 books....

Conrad · 11-20-2008, 03:54 PM

Damn, that sounds like a cool movie. I own that survival guide haha, so does Ragman; good to know that some people out there are prepared for the undead apocolypse haha.

Conrad · 11-21-2008, 09:15 PM

Would it be to cliche to say the Diceman by Luke Reinheart?

Fuck it anyways, The Diceman by Luke Reinheart.

Cool book, Dark-one if you dig Fightclub then there's a big chance you'll like this. It's different but has that same theme of being dis-satisfied with your life and society and making the change into your own man.

About a guy who decides to live his life according to actions he allocates to the numbers he rolls on his dice. Interesting concept and if I had any balls what so ever I might try it myself for a day to see what it's like. I don't though so won't

It has some rape in it, but also some homosexuality, depends how homophobic you are. Personally not very. Very cool read, I never read the follow up novel though, anyone know if that's any good?

KrayLB · 11-23-2008, 01:36 AM

I just finished reading "The Watchmen" by Alan Moore..

1st let me say I am not a comic book reader at all..I've probably only read a handful of comics in my life..I do enjoy watching the movies and TV shows and what not though...so I saw the Trailer for this movie and I've heard nothing but good things about the graphic novel so I decided to pick it up and boy was it good..It's a mystery it's got action, theres a love story kinda..and even a attempted rape scene..I suggest everyone read it..and then Watch the movie when it comes out next year.
