What are some good books to read?

[bigbangtheory 5,000+ posts]

Just wondering as I spend a lot of time on here at work. I also do a lot of reading as well. So recommend me some good reading material and no not playboy stuff, even though that would be nice, cause I am always about the articles. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Currently I am reading "Hardcore Diaries" by Mick Foley who for those people that dont watch wrestling was a main stay in the wrestling business for years. He is also a New York times best selling author. This is his 3rd autobiography and have to say is very good. Not all about wrestling either. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I know I will catch heat for me being a wrestling fan, but I grew up around it.

Anyway, what are some other good ones. I read just about anything. Just got down with a book called "Killzone" and was very good. I usually go through 1 book every couple weeks.

Just seeing what you all read for people that have time on there hands.

The Stranger - Albert Camus

my favorite book of all time is the brothers Karamazov by fyodor dostoyevsky. Highly recommended. I seriously cannot over sell this book.

The plague and The myth of sisyphus (both Albert Camus) are also great books... personally i liked them better than the stranger.

The statement I have bold-faced make me dubious about his writing skills.

3rd autobiography? How many times does he think it's necessary to write his own life story?

As far as reading goes, though, my favorite book of all-time is To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Most people will have read it at least once as required reading sometime or another in school but if you haven't you should. Outstanding book.

I'm a big fan of most anything from Tom Clancy...John Grisham is another fave....Stephen King....man, I'd be here all day typing if I were to list all the stuff i like to peruse in my downtime //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

None would be considered light reading, but all are certainly worth reading.

Thanks guys, gonna look into those faulkton. Always looking for something new and different to read.

Prowler! Sup for starters and he even jokes about this being his 3rd, lol! He says if Winston Churchhill can do it, why not him. HAHAH! He actually is very good and if you know who I am talking about, then by just looking at him you would think he was a dumb, fat, hairy POS, but he is very intelligent and has no ghost writers or anything, is all done by himself and himself only. I highly recommend it even if you dont watch wrestling. I have read his other books and are very good as well.

Might have to pick this one up. Sounds pretty good. I mean your stuck in a hell, which is a hotel room and the only way of torture, is too torture the others stuck in there with you. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif That would ****!

I know who Mick Foley is though I am by no means a wrestling fan. Didn't he used to go by another name and wore a mask or something prior to simply being himself?

the grand inquisitor is a chapter out of the brothers K, it is sold by itself, as a stand alone. Its pretty easy reading and short, you should check it out if the entire Brothers K is too long.
