Which books have you read that you couldn't put down after reading?

I like Ken Follet. I haven't read anything by him in a while.

Sidney Sheldon, Jeffery Archer. Heck, my dad used to give me Nick Carter (Kill master Spy thrillers) books to read.

Very lucky lol

Target Tokyo: Jimmy Doolittle and the Raid That Avenged Pearl Harbor. The book chronicles the first U.S. major attack directly on Japan, only four months after Pearl Harbor. The Japanese were kicking ass all over the Pacific, and American morale needed a significant boost. Told is the story of 80 men, volunteers all, that chose to embark on what could very well have been a one-way mission. The sheer audacity and daring to launch U.S. Army bombers from Navy aircraft carriers to take the war to the Japanese islands is amazing in and of itself.

Notably, each volunteer was given numerous opportunities to back out of the mission, no questions asked. No man gave up his seat. Even while on the way to Japan, backup crews tried to bribe the volunteers to give up their seat, which no man did. Although the mission was supposed to end with the men landing in 'free China,' no plane made it that far. As each plane ran out of gas, the men had to parachute in the blackness of the night to face their fate. The recovery and survival of the crews is an amazing adventure in and of itself. The survival of one crew in Japanese confinement is compellingly illustrated by the single Bible they were allowed to possess and the faith that kept them alive until the end of the war.

It's not just a war story, but an insightful look at humanity and the strength of men's souls under duress.

Fuck you.
That book is terrible, the writing is atrocious.

Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind

Wouldn’t Robert Taylor, (Walt Longmire from Longmire) play an excellent role as John Matherson in a film adaption? He was the only guy I could picture while I read this.

This cat is BAD ASS

He earned his Air Warfare Specialist wings while serving with the Black Knights Fighter/Attack Squadron on the USS Carl Vinson in the Persian Gulf.

I am going to get your book, and thank you for your service in our defense and now in service to entertain and hopefully enlighten the masses.

That depends whether you include the prequel New Spring.

Can't wait for the series to start but I suspect it will be ruined by pc. as they have totally ignored Jordan's character descriptions so far for the casting.

Stranger in a strange land by Robert Hienlen, and Siddartha by Herman Hesse. A few of the quotes below are from Siddartha. One I really liked, but was very hard to read was The praise of Folly by Erasmus.

In detail

"The Caine Mutiny" by Herman Wouk. The book won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1952. It details background leading up to what may or may not have been a mutiny aboard a a US destroyer-minesweeper in WWII and the subsequent court martial.

An excellent motion picture by the same title was adapted from the novel.

how about the Holy Bible King James version. How about that? You degenerate sinning fucks.

I know so far the cast/characters look nothing like I imagine.
I really hope they don't screw it up.

Why don't you quote
Where quotes cone from?

went to B&N to get you the link to a fantastic science fiction series by Doris Lessing. They have the first one. So fantastic. I think I want to re-read.

[link to www.barnesandnoble.com (secure)]

This is the first volume in the series of novels Doris Lessing calls collectively Canopus in Argos: Archives. Presented as a compilation of documents, reports, letters, speeches and journal entries, this purports to be a general study of the planet Shikasta–clearly the planet Earth–to be used by history students of the higher planet Canopus and to be stored in the Canopian archives. For eons, galactic empires have struggled against one another, and Shikasta is one of the main battlegrounds.Johar, an emissary from Canopus and the primary contributor to the archives, visits Shikasta over the millennia from the time of the giants and the biblical great flood up to the present. With every visit he tries to distract Shikastans from the evil influences of the planet Shammat but notes with dismay the ever-growing chaos and destruction of Shikasta as its people hurl themselves towards World War III and annihilation.
