Cool

I've read so many books I wouldn't even know where to start with the "best" book I've ever read or could recommend!

At the moment I'm reading Armageddon by Max Hastings which tells the story of the collapse of Nazi Germany from the perspective of the allies and the enemy and it is one of the best books on this subject I have ever read especially as there is much new material from the former Soviet side as archives in Moscow have been opened up to the public.

It is a harrowing book to read but it teaches us all of the high price to be paid for war and the ultimate futility of destruction on an epic scale.

Regards

"A River Runs Through It" by Norman MacLean
excerpts:
Poets talk about "spots of time," but it is really fishermen who experience eternity compressed into a moment. No one can tell what a spot of time is until suddenly the whole world is a fish and the fish is gone. I shall remember that son of a bitch forever.

One of life's quiet excitements is to stand somewhat apart from yourself and watch yourself softly becoming the author of something beautiful, even if it is only a floating ash.

I sat there and forgot and forgot, until what remained was the river that went by and I who watched. On the river the heat mirages danced with each other and then they danced through each other and then they joined hands and danced around each other. Eventually the watcher joined the river, and there was only one of us. I believe it was the river.

The book is a lot better than the movie (which isn't bad)
My favorite authors would be :
Mark Twain, Stephen King, and J.D. Fitzgerald for the wonderful stories of "The Great Brain" of my childhood.

used to love reading when i was at school, absolutely loved it! Was well ahead of my age with reading at school, but nowadays i cant read as well. I try to read a book and within 5 minutes me eyes feel funny and i start to dose off lol.

Used to love the "Hatchet" series by Gary Paulsen, about a guy that gets stranded in the wilderness and teaches himself how to survive, beginning out with nothing but a small hatchet.

Worth a read!

i tried reading the first harry potter book but lost interest at about page 9...

I've read the Lord of The Rings trilogy starting with the Hobbit...a little bit drawn out sometimes. They're only about 400-500 pages long too
