The man sure knows how to pick his ***les.
I just started reading Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. It's pretty good so far
I'm also reading Hard Times, for Realism. Again, pretty good On a completely different level then Adams (I'm guessing Dickens stands higher to most, who am I to say differently), but still very witty at times

reading "The Book Thief". Really really good book so far. brilliantly written.
Would also reccomend
The Vampire Lestat (Ann Rice)
Gates of Fire (Steven Prestfield telling the battle of thermopolae)
House of God no idea who wrote it, it's junior doctors in the 70s. does for medicine what catch 22 did for the military.

Well, I've read a few books by Robert A. Heinlein (a sci-fi writer) and a lot of the ideas and possibilities he brings up in his novels really absorb you into the story. Not to mention his experience of the real world (knows a lot of engineering and was once in the war, seems to know a lot about science) makes you believe what he writes is true.
Also to "RC", if you like Dean Koontz, you should check out "Watchers", I loved that book!

I'm currently reading a book called Roma by Steven Saylor. I've only got onto the third chapter even though the book has been in my possession for near six months. It beings in pre 1,000 BC and gives the story of how Rome was founded and how it fell. Very interested read if you're into Ancient History.

I'm looking to read more than mags, since I've never finished a book.
I find fictional, or at least realistic and believable, war movies interesting. So if somebody knows a good book in that genre please let me know.
I like sport bibliographies (or atleast the ones on tv are interesting)
I also like stories or tales of people overcoming great adversities, the more realistic the better, or if it's based on a true story that would be the best.
A funny book would also be welcomed. I prefer dry, witty, sophisticated humour
None of that Lord of the Rings type of stuff
Thanks

Yeah, cheers buddy, i've read that book and it's phenomenal.
It has a bit of a hollywood ending, but it's a great book.
Cheers for the heads up tho.

No problem. ^^
It's actually the only Koontz book I've read, but I'll probably get through more eventually.
While it may have had Hollywood ending as you said, I'm sure some readers would have found the ending anti-climatic if it had ended in the way that it seemed to be headed at until the last few paragraphs.. But it still has one of my favourite stories, and I found the four main characters to be really deep, all with interesting backgrounds.

I just finished that and now I'm starting Tom Clancy's Red Rabbit.
I just looked at the previous page of this thread and realised how many books I've been reading. It seems when I'm at my busiest, I turn to a book. Maybe not such a good idea.
I think i'll slow down now and pay more attention to uni lol...this book might take more than a week or two now.

I just finished Ométra by Mario Puzo. It is really good I must say and I don't read many books.

I'm exactly the same as you.
When i've got nothing to do, when i feel i want to take a break from my writing and have a day off, the last thing i will do is turn to a book. I'll just go to the gym and hit hte town or something.
Then, when i've got loads of ideas and deadlines to meet, when i've got work for 5 days straight, it's then that i fnd comfort in a book and stay up until those ungodly hours reading my life away!
