what are your favorite books

yup...weisbecker got WEIRD. & not in a hunter s. thompson, good kind of way, either.

can't believe i forgot "caught inside". add that to my list.

 

I don't have favorite books but favorite authors.
Here are some in no particular order
Vonnegut
Kesey
Hemingway
Irving
King
Clancy

there are others but i've read these guys entire library. you can argue that some of them (maybe all of them) are just popular novelists but they tell a great story.

 

^^^^Good call on Vonnegut, yet to be mentioned here.

 

I've laughed out loud in public while reading his stuff multiple times.

 

I am in agreement with a lot of yall, good reads

any nonfiction?
I had read Richard Dawkins 'selfish gene' about how all life is just robots and containers for genes.

Also Dune by Frank Herbert is some far out sheet...eating spice to see through time

 

how was dawkins? haven't really read any of his work; i'm not generally a fan of his seemingly-abrasive tone.

just read "the efficiency trap: finding a better way to achieve a sustainable energy future" by steve hallett. really interesting book, lots of things i had never considered about energy consumption & the ways increased efficiency can actually drive up consumption.

 

Yeah, Dawkins is a bit smarmy. for atheist stuff I love Penn Gillette. Finished 'A universe from Nothing' By Lawrence Krauss. Pretty interesting origin of the big bang book. Checking out Brian Greene's books on string theory.

 

Hes only a bit of a cock when the clergy presses creationism, doesn't mean he isn't a genius

here is his tone in general: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysxG5jFeTME

his documentary from chapter 14 of selfish gene called nice guys finish first about game theory and life form interaction is sooooooo on point. 45 min vid, if you like the vid you will like his book

comic books with lots of pictures casue I cain't read them squiggles you uns be scratchin on da paper.

 

Anything by Vonnegutt! Or Chuck Palahniuk who might as well be his apprentice as far as I'm concerned.

 

+ plus one to that

Everyone I know who has read the 3rd Weisbecker book didn't like it. I loved it. I got so into it although it does get slow at times.

I was going to post this before but didn't, I'm a huge doors fan. Huge Jim Morrison fan. I have a huge portrait of him above my bed. Any way I got a few books of his poetry. I'm not a big poetry reader but his stuff is good. Really weird. But good. I like it

 

Hustler and Penthouse are my favorites.

 

A clockwork orange.
The autobiography of Malcolm X
D1ck Gregory's book N*gger.
And,like zaGaffer, A stranger in a strange land. but add Puppet Masters.

 

48 Laws of Power, Robert Greene.

 

i dont read but when i did Peter Benchley wrote some great books on the ocean. jaws was his greatest work even though he wrote a book on sharks i loved when i was a kid.

Word on the Shulgin Gaff.

 

You are a complete jerk off

fock off douche

 

That would be classic, me and the family roll up to the beach and you want a fist fight.......you win? That would at least save me postage on the free book.
