LittleHurt05 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I just finished the Dream Team book. Lots of cool personal ancedotes about the players and it was entertaining to read about their interacting with each other and constant s***-talking.

bmags Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 when on road trips i google "top reading lists of 2012", and sometimes they dont' convey what a book is about. Anyway, "Penolope" is an awful book. I feel embarrassed that I bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 07:24 AM) It was very, very tough to put down "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn. Until the end. That's the quickest I have ever read a book. I ignored sleep and other entertainment just to finish it. That book was the f***ing s***. I finished it an hour ago.

clyons Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Just finished "Billy Lynn's Long Half Time Walk" by Ben Fountain, which had been very well reviewed as the "Catch-22" of the Iraq War. I liked the "Catch-22" of WWII a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Well it'd be hard to top what's usually considered a top-10 20th century American novel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigklita Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Amazon has 14 Phillip K. Dick novels on sale for $1.99 today. Anyone have recommendations of his novels, I was thinking about picking up one or two of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clyons Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Has anyone here picked up Tom Wolfe's "Back to Blood" yet? I've enjoyed all of his novels, but each one less than the one before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwritecode Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Just finished "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline. As a child of the 80's and a slight geek, this was right in my wheelhouse. There were a couple of references that I didn't quite get because I hadn't played the game or watched the movie but I enjoyed it overall.

hogan873 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Highly recommend This Book Is Full of Spiders by David Wong. It's the sequel to John Dies At The End. Off the wall horror-comedy. I don't even know how to really explain it except it involves a paranormal psychoactive drug that allows users to travel between universes and time. Needless to say bad things happen as things from other universes find their way to ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
