Yes... Anes reads wow aye!!!! she sure does, but only books of interest to her anything NON FICTION preferably true crimes

The Kite Runner - Hallad Husseini

Saturday - Ian McEwan

Dirt Music - Tim Wenton

1 - To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee

2 - The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald

3 - Emma - Jane Austen

4 - Romeo & Juliet - William Shakespeare

5 - Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown

1. I, Robot by Isaac Asimov.
Not the crappy Will Smith movie, but the novel that has several short stories following Alfred Lanning trying to cope with malfunctions of robots in several environments using their logic to understand the scenario.
There are no murders, it's not a hollywood POS like I, Converse/JVC/Pepsi/Dos Equis

2. We by Yevgeny Zamiatin
A dystopian novel, much like 1984 (but much better in my opinion) also it pioneered the genre of Dystopia.

3. Cloud Street by Tim Winton
Australian classic, following two families that are brought together. Has a lot of magical realism, that is things happen that are magic but its treated like its nothing and it happens everyday. A book that really deserves internation recognition.

Colleen McCullogh's sextet on Rome...she breathes life into the history of the world's greatest empire starting from two generations before the birth of Caesar.

Michael Moorcock Elric of Melnibone...all of his stuff rocks really. The concept of the Eternal Champion central to all his material rocks but the anti-hero Elric with the soul-drinking blade called Stormbringer takes the cake.

Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon & Baroque Cycle trilogy...what can I say? Four epic tomes surrounding the exploits of two families from the time of the Enlightenment through to present time...in reverse.

Enders game series!

reading Gabriel Garcia Marquez - Tales of My Melancholy Whores

1. First they Killed my Father - hated it in yr 12 but now think its one of the best book's i've read.

2. Diary of a manhatten call girl - the plot is fantastic.... the only downside is that its basically porn on paper.....

3. The Bone Collector - the clues and the story itself just make you want to get involved.....

greek modern history by woodhouse.

israel a history by martin gilbert.

hitlers mein kamph.

as a sideline,mao tse tungs quotations from the little red book.

an old favourite is kissingers white house years.

a bit of trash,kitty kellys "nancy reagan",and "the bush family.

The Iliad/Odyssey (some translations)
Mein Kampf (and it's sequel)
All Quiet on the Western Front
Medea
Antigone
Aristotle's complete works
The Republic
The Government Inspector
The Communist Manifesto

I could list hundreds of books though...

niko,if like mein kamph,then the book by kenshaw of hitler is great.

more interesting and gives historical inside.
it is in two books hitlers early years and his war years.

fascinating stuff.

in many ways u feel sorry for the poor guy..he tried his best.
he was just a bit extreme though..

well,the germans tried again on september 11 and once again they failed...

To kill a mocking Bird - harper Lee
Tomorrow when the war Began - John Marsden (and all the books in that sequal theres about 6 or 7 i think)
Oedipus Rex - Sophocles
Medea - Euripides
The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
The Catcher In the Rhy - J.D Stalinger
The Longest Memory - Fred D'Aguiar
Washington Square - Henry James (alot of people have said this book is dull and boring and dont like it, but i enjoyed reading it)

thats more than three, but o well.

we read that in lit... i got through two chapters b4 giving up on it. thankgod there wasn't a question on it in the exam or i would have been in trouble.

yeah i did it in Lit too. I liked it. we watched the movie of it aswell. For the exam what we had to do was analyse three passages of it and link them together and draw the comparisons. i got B+ for it. so i was happy considering id been getting C's the whole year.

Tim Winton you spastic, you try to act like a smart kid but you probably got that list of some site and posted up like you knew what the book was about

What a try-hard malaka

Tim Wenton ahahaha you fool

Anyways besides the pretenders my top 10 would be

The Alexander Series - Valerio Massimo Manfredi

The Partner - John Grisham

Angels and Demons - Dan Brown

A Time to Kill -John Grisham

The King of Torts - John Grisham

The Power of One - Bryce Courtenay

Shane Schofield Series - Matthew Reilly

To Kill a Mocking Bird - Harper Lee

Lord of the Flies - William Golding

The Illiad - Homer

2 awesome books that i 4got to mention where desert dawn & desert flower both by Waris Dirie.

My top 3

A Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
Spartan - Valerio Massimo Manfredi
The Idiot - Fyordor Dostoevsky

I'm reading that now, good book. I've read his Alexander series before.

Ah I forgot to add Spartan as well, great story about Spartan society with the Helots.

Manfredi also wrote one about the Trojans and Troy but I haven't managed to buy that yet

The Last Legion is good too

I've been trying to get my hands on the Alexander Series but all the covers are stuffed....I'm really weird when it comes to books lol.

LOL, me too...I had to order mine in because the ones at Dymocks, Borders or Angus & Robersto weren't in good condition aha

Pfft dymocks! I get my books from Myer, the books are generally in a better condition and there are tables that you can sit at and read in store (maybe i should link them to this page i might get some loyalty points or something lol)

Yeah true, but Myer doesn't have as much variety as the stores that I mentioned. David Jones is similar to Myer as well and even has mad comfy chairs to sit on and read

You could split the topic and make a great discussion about this Mini and HBK! It would rival the "how often do you scratch your nose" topic probably created by someone with alternating case in their MSN name.

Spartan - Valerio Massimo Manfredi
Zorba the Greek - Nikos Kazantzakis
Love Hina (Japanese comic book series) - Ken Akamatsu

haha re if you have a cry about this, god knows what you do when Soccer Chick and Xristina start haha

I don't know what my favourite book is atm. I do know that during high school one of my fav books was Queen Cat, Carmel and St Jude Get a Life, by Maureen McCarthy. I also liked the Tomorrow series by John Marsden.

I've read them, they aren't bad books....

Just taking the piss as usual friend. Anyway, i'm currently reading "The Satanic Bible by Anton Szandor LaVey. It's pretty interesting

why are you reading anything by LaVey for? that stupid Free Mason compulsive lieing cunt

actually believe 100,000 of thousands of people went to his 'church'

It's important to be widely read, you can't just read what you think you'll agree with. Anyway, it's pretty funny stuff

i guess it would be a funny read

quote a few funny lines for us

And who are you to say what people can read or not

one question to niko.

why do they say "hail satan"?

and one more question.

is lucifer the same as satan?
