Book Recommendations

[Dorsk 81]

I have only read the book: I simply refuse to read the manga or see the movie. There is simply no way that either of them could even compare to what I generated in my head while reading the book, and I wish not to possibly corrupt it in any way.

Eh, your loss. If you change your mind though, the manga is a hell of alot better than the film.

The Animal Firm by Orwell is a great book.

Animal Firm? Funny, the farm never looked like an office block in the film...

The Animal Firm by Orwell is a great book. Its is about animals but yet clearly demonstrates the conflict between communism and capitalism.

Actually, Animal Farm more demonstrates how Communism doesn't work.

Speaking of Animal Farm, the newest incarnation of the movie is pretty good. Live-action with animal actors (and puppets, I think).

Morningstar by David Gemmell. First book I read that made me cry at the end.



EDIT: Phrasing changed to make comment clearer.

[Lord Pounder]

The Amtrak Wars by Patrick Tiley are my 5 favourite books after the original 6 Dune books.

Other good books out there are Colony by Rob Grant, the co-writter of Red Dwarf. Dead Famous by Ben Elton is an interesting look at how far reality TV could go. And lastly on my list, i heartily recomend the 8 Sten books written by Chris Bunch and Allan Cole.

Just finished reading the Ender Quadrilogy by Orson Scott Card and it fucking rocks, apart from where it tails off towards the end!

That got pretty stupid by Children of the Mind.
