I've heard that an excellent novel...im planning on reading foutainhead.

But atm im reading stranger in a strange land by the great Hienlien (i love him so much). I got the uncut version and its actually longer than atlas shrugged.

But god its an amazing book. Not only is it entertaining but its god his typical HOLY SHIT philopshy that is just so mind blowing.

House of Leaves

**Ardent Lost** · 08-31-2008 11:47 PM

Yeah i want to read The Fountainhead when i'm done with Atlas Shrugged as i've heard very good things about it. Stranger in a Strange Land looks really good as well. Thanks for mentioning it!

Omicron - i want to read that book so bad!

**aceofspades** · 09-01-2008 01:52 PM

oh god stranger in a strange land is so amazing! But you have to get the uncut version.

Besides I love how he mixes philophy with pure awesomeness. I mean ayn rand is good but her don't have enough awesomeness, sex, and craziness.

Although I must say that my absolute favorite book is snow crash. It's such an amazing book. I can't even begin to describe it. The philosophy is purely mind blowing and the plot is great. Besides it is just the funnest book ive ever read. the main character is called "Hiro Protaganist".

Nathaniels Nutmeg. Awesome book on the historical account of the spice race of the 1700s. England would send out fleets of ships and only a handfull would return and sometimes with little spice for profit. The rest would die from disease, war with the dutch, and head hunters. They found one ship trying to find a northern passage, they got shipwrecked in the cold. they had to fight off bears and stuff. when they were found everyone was completely frozen to death in the middle of doing something. One man was opening a cupboard and another was sitting in a chair drinking something. just frozen solid like that.

I'm reading some book called "Then there was none..."

It's not very good...the beginning was very confusing...

How do you read something and not know how to spell it's name?

In fact I call Bullshit on anyone who calls "Wuthering Heights" "Weathering heights".

Also: "Sense and Sensibility"

Oh, and "Spiritual Guide to Dreaming and Life" doesn't actually exist.

What's the point of lying on the internet? Really.

**aceofspades** · 09-03-2008 08:21 PM

...hehe owned

PS: Just finished reading Stranger in a strange land last night....damn it was good

best book ive ever read

State of fear - Michael Chrichton
It's about global warming, and it gives a much more accurate picture of what global warming is. Very interesting book if you like the environment.

She could just be a bad speller, or maybe she doesn't care about her spelling.

But replacing "Wuthering" with "Weathering" is a whole new word, not just a spelling error, a different word. And the sort of mistake someone with a vague acquaintance with the book would make.

At the moment I'm reading Kingdom of Fear by Hunter S. Thompson, really good so far.

Anyne who is a Hunter fan should read this book, it's like his memoirs but in his style

Woe Is I by Patricia T. O'Connor

And I just finished The Old Man and the Sea. It was... okay.

Who cares if she is lying, really?

it really doesn't matter we are all expressing our views on books in order to expand our horizon of culture. So I could care less. There is no philosophical skin off my nose.
