1984 - The definitive guide to setting up and managing a Britsh school.

On a serious note I'm currently reading some Warhammer 40k stuff: Gaunt's Ghosts.

Aswell as Battlefield 3: The Russian.

Brave New World (Hard to understand at first, but was also another great read)
We (Might've been difficult for some to understand, but I found it very interesting)
Gone
Children of Men (If you haven't read this, what are you doing with your life?)
Roadside Picnic
The Road
Metro 2033 Novel

 

Starting on William Gibson's 'Neuromancer'. Anyone know if it's any good?

John fucking Green.

The author of fucking 'The Fault in Our Stars' this fucking 'author' has shitty ass books that are tailored to fucking teenage little girls who want to feel unique by pulling out a book in class instead of sucking dick in the school bathroom like most other chicks.

This faggot doesn't know shit about this book.

I am filled with rage right now.

 

Nic Sheff.

I read Tweak last year, and I'm reading We All Fall Down currently, the sequel.

It's about his life living with addiction, and it's probably the only non-fiction book I like that I can recall. It's a really fucking good read.

 

Tweak? Oh fuck yeah, I chose it because we have this 'Book Club' shit in English, is it any good?

lol i'm a dumbass just read the rest of your post and saw you said it was really good.

Maaan I can't wait for that shit.

 

Is Your Mama A Llama is a really good book, I suggest you all look it up and read it.

 

aww yiss nigga

The Shining is the best.

spooky scary skeletons

and is Of Mice and Men good? Always open to new books as-long as they aren't trash.

 

Yes, Of Mice and Men is really good.

 

what's it about?

 

Ah.

For anyone interested in reading Atlas Shrugged, paid about $30 for it at a Barnes and Nobles in my mall.

Disclaimer: Huge fucking book, about 1000+ pages.

Really philosophical book with lots of characters that help convey the overall message of the book.

And there is sex scenes. yes.

 

Atlas Shrugged and Cloud Atlas receive hate because they're authored by Ayn Rand, who pretty much everyone left of the far right thinks was pretty insane.
John Oliver did a piece which you can see here if you want the "opposing" viewpoint, but I don't want to be the guy who turns this good thread into politics.

On topic, my favorite fiction books of all time would have to be A Song of Ice and Fire, the books Game of Thrones is based on.
Favorite "scholarly" fiction book would be Brave New World.
Favorite non-fiction book would be impossible, too many great reads out there if you love history and politics.

 

i've only read like

50 -75 books in my lifetime
