The BEST book that you have ever read!

At last i find someone esle that likes Michael Stackple fan. I am reading Solo Command (again) at the moment. I love it when Wedge is about to take off with a mission with Chewie and Wes Janson comes up and points out that he doesn't speak Wookie. It has so many good bits in it. So does Starfighters of Adumar.

But my favourite book goes like "Spot. Spot sees ball. See spot run....etc. Very enthrawling

For fiction, The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck or Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce.
Non-fiction would be A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn or Stiffed: The Betrayal of the American Man by Susan Faludi.

Needful things

great book but scary

The stuff about Kettch is hilarious! And remember the Devronian pilot who thinks he's the savior of the galaxy... An all around great book!

i like all this

"are you dave gorman?" by dave gorman and danny wallace is hilarious, i really recommend it! also "french revolutions" (cant remember the author) and anything by bill bryson are good.
as you can see, i really like funny books.
also, read the harry potter series if you havent already done so!

I read the Harry Potter books in backward order, but I didn't read the first. I really don't like these books. They all have the same plot. I can't figure out why people like them. There's always some mystery or contest, and then lord-whats-his-face drops in and things look bad for Harry, but Harry beats him in the end and saves the day. That's the plot for every book!

“In teaching me independence of thought they had given me the greatest gift an adult can give to a child, besides love, and they gave me that also.” - Bryce Courtnay

One of the most difficult tasks that will ever confront a writer is to explore the magical naivete of a child. It is rare to find a book that successfully captures the innocence of childhood, to explore the world through the eyes of a child as he sees it. A world where even the most ordinary of activities still holds the promise of discovery. The Power Of One captures the spirit, the very essence of childhood. Courtneay is able to recognize the magic of the mundane, and that to a boy, often the fantastic seems ordinary. But the exquisite beauty of the book is the transformation of the child into a man. The Power of One is set in South Africa during World War II. It chronicles the life of a small boy as he struggles to overcome the institutionalized racism of apartheid. The Power Of One is a truly inspirational book, a book that invites you to view the world in ways you may possibly never have considered. It is simply, unequivocally, one of the best books I have ever read. It is an opinion shared, without exception, by every single person I have ever met that has read The Power Of One.

Note: The movie, Power Of One, is the worst bastardization of a book I have ever encountered. If you have seen the move but not read the book, read it! They are only remotely similar, the movie ignoring many of the most integral sub-plots of the book. The movie is atrocious, the book exquisite.

Mike, you are so passionate about this book! I will have to check it out next time I am at the library.
