people don’t believe me when i tell them its a love story…
I’d probably start with ‘The Better Mousetrap’ & ‘The Portable Door’
Read ‘On The Road’ more times than I care to remember, and it is good. If you like things like tha, have you read HST’s Rum Diary?
Thanks for the suggestions! And I haven’t read Rum Diary, but it’s going on the list too.
Those Dan Brown books are really good! i love em…and you should check out a writer by the name of Vince Flynn…he has a series on a character called Mitch Rapp…

totally check out dan brown! amazing writer and i think you would like Vince Flynn (he sounds very similar to matthew reilly) and thanks for letting me know about matthew reilly i will for sure check him out!!
Dan Brown makes me want to scrub my eyeballs with wire wool … really really can’t stand things on that tip (which includes Tom Clancy/John Grisham and their ilk)
Just my opinion though - more people reading whatever floats your boat is a good thing
Ill check them out. Thanks man!!! 
no problem dude…my friend got me into them and ive been hooked ever since! vince flynn has pancreatic cancer and had to push the release date of his new book back to feb 7th 2012 but he says its gonna be better than ever…such a badass
you wanna start with term limits (first book) and then mitch rapp gets introduced in transfer of power (2nd book and my favorite)
(I knew I started a book thread somewhere)
You can also add non music magazines to this list…
“The partly cloudy patriot - Sarah Vowell” was fantastic
so was “Lonesome Dove” my dad’s favorite book…
I have no idea how I missed this thread for nearly 3 weeks.
If your into sci-fi at all then a must read is Neromancer by William Gibson and Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. Although if you are into sci-fi I’m sure you already have…
Game of Thrones better than the series
For sci fi you can’t go past Phillip K Dick start on one of his short story books
For something a bit deeper Arthur C Clarke the 2001 series is great
The Dune series by Frank Herbert
William Gibson of coarse
Charles Bukowski is a laugh
next on my read list…George Clintons memoir…
I don’t normally do biographies, but Richard Bransons’ “Losing My Virginity” is an absolutely brilliant read.
I’ll pick up anything by Robin Cook - “Toxin” is one of my favorites, but you might want to stay away from hamburgers for a while.
On a Sci-Fi note a really entertaining read was The Second Angel by Philip Kerr
Glad I found this thread. Read Stephen King’s Dark Tower series. Loved that shit. Finished the Game of Thrones series recently. Loved that shit, too. Currently reading The Girl with all the Gifts, which is meh, but a filler for now. Any recommendations for similar books to the ones I’ve mentioned?
The book that has inspired me is that of the works of Philip Yancy. I read his masterpiece, “Disappointment with God” as well as “Where is God when it hurts?”. Honestly, both books has been an eye-opener to the things I have took for granted and the things that I have failed to appreciate.
Lipstick Traces: A Secret History of the 20th Century by Greil Marcus
Love Thy Neighbor: A Story of War
Currently reading Origin by Dan brown
my favorite book is godfather. i’ve read it many times
“Thousand nights” (re-make of 1 thousand and one night) by Jonhston. And also Terry Pratchet - anything.
My favorite one is “The Old Man and the Sea” by Ernest Hemingway.
