I'm coming upon some time off and am looking for a book to read. I can assume that from reading posts in here that most of you are well educated. Therefore I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions that you may have. It doesn't have to be a new release, but preferably non-fiction. Thanks guys or gals. ------------------ www.dsscake.com
The age of reason by Thomas Paine is a must. ------------------ Ceo of the Walt Williams fan club. Web site coming soon atheistalliance.org
Online Books: http://www.bartleby.com/nonfiction/ ------------------ When we tire of well-worn ways, we seek for new. This restless craving in the souls of men spurs them to climb, and to seek the mountain view. -- Ella Wheeler Wilcox
My favorites are Candide by Voltaire and Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein. ------------------ [This message has been edited by grummett (edited December 08, 2000).]
opps, got kind of excited there ------------------ 'Deeds, not words, shall speak me.' [This message has been edited by mc mark (edited December 08, 2000).]
All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy is excellent. It's being made into a movie soon. The Scarlet Letter is also an excellent read. ------------------
Shot in the Heart, by Mikail Gilmore, especially if you're a murder buff. ------------------ My dream job is to be a Houston Rockets towel boy.
He said "non" and all you guys have been giving him is fiction. Any preference - biography, spiritual, political? ------------------ Mmmmmmm. Sacrelicious.
Sorry. I probably should have been more specific. Perhaps something stimulating. The first suggestion, The Age of Reason, is something that I'd consider because I've read some interesting excerpts from it. To answer your question, Jeff, I'd rather not read about politics. If at all, I would just like to hear some suggestions. Thanks again guys. ------------------ www.dsscake.com [This message has been edited by Frank Black (edited December 09, 2000).]
Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby. It's pretty much his autobiography and how it relates to the various important football matches (soccer) his team, Arsenal, has played. ------------------ "He was under more balls than a midget hooker."-Bobby Hill visit www.swirve.com and, http://www.geocities.com/clutch34_2000 for great Rocket insight by some of your fellow BBS posters!
