I read Deception Point a while back, going to reread it again in a few weeks since I just want to, and I have this stupid book report thing to do.
The Lost Symbol was ****ing great. Finished it in like 2 days.
Payed 20 bucks for it and found the whole thing free online though... =/

Would that happen to be "the three sons"? I found that in a bookstore and I thought it was a good read.

great collection of short stories, just about to start the last story in it.
his other novel HEART SHAPED BOX was fantastic. also if anyone reads comics, he is the writer of LOCKE AND KEY.
RAGANA: the STAND is worth its wait for sure. such a great story all the way through. Are you a king fan? or just happened upon this one?
|
I never read any of his work before. I watched the Mist and movie honestly disturbed the hell out of it, so I went out to Barnes and Nobles and picked up a couple of his books. The Stand just happened to be the first one I read.
Aside from that one, I just reread Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. One of his better ones imho. |

feel free to pm me if you want to continue through his stuff, without reading something that will spoil something else. many of his works tie into each other.
finishing up with bourne identity, then gonna continue on that series.
i was thinking about getting into clancys library next. any reccomendations? i have read clear and resent danger, which blew the movie ou of the water.

absolutt, look for the miniseries on dvd tha was done a few years back. probably one of the best adaptions of a book i have ever seen. its long but to do that book right it would have to be.
just finished with bourne identity and starting on the bourne supremecy today. from what i hear, the next 2 books are 100 percent different from the movie plotlines.

Those movies are some of the best ever.
I read Bourne Identity and checked out the next one from the Library but just couldn't get into it. I read the Lost Symbol instead.

I'm sure his writing isn't that bad, considering he is a world reknown authour and you seem to just be some envious chump. As far as his "factually incorrect" content....pretty sure you can pick up his books in the "fiction" section. Maybe you should go pick up a dictionary and look it up.

Where Men Win Glory
By Jon Krakauer.
It details Pit Tillman's entire life - childhood, how he started playing football, his time with the Cardinals, his decision to join the military, and the events leading up to his death. So far, it has been an excellent read. Though, the further I get into it, the more I am pissed at the underhandedness and incompetence of our government and the incompetence of some of his command.

Really? I liked the first part of the book when the disease first spreads and the aftermath, but it then goes a complete 360 and becomes a quasi-religious story, a simple good vs. evil story

I'm reading Fanshen. Its a book writen about the change in one particular town to communism in 1946-1947. Its really good, if a bit depressing...one things for sure though, what we had our revolution for is paltry compared to the Chinese.
