Book Discussion PING

Long Cut : Thanks!

[Pippin]

Thanks for the ping, Tonkin!

Of course you know I'm a HUGR fan of JRR Tolkien's trilogy "The Lord Of The Rings" and his other books, "The Hobbit" among others

But I do read other types like Sean Hannity's first book, I have his second on hold at the library but I just finished reading "Let Freedom Ring"

I've also read Biographies such as "Fighting Back" and "All The Best"

I'm also about to begin reading the first volumne of Jeff Head's "Dragon's Fury" series.

Must reads are ~ Jeff Head's: Dragon Fury series and Matthew Bracken's: Enemies Foreign and Domestic.

Anyone who followed Barry Sadler/Casca, the Eternal Mercenary, is OK in my book.

Geez, off the top of my head? ( Gears grinding, ears smoking from effort of thinking... )

The Weapons Shop of Isher ( novel & short-story versions exist ) by A.E. Van Vogt-

Most anything from Phil K. Dick, Roger Zelazny, Michael Moorcock, John D. McDonald...

Jerry Ahern's Survivalist series had its moments-

Grew up on ERB's Tarzan & Mars series, ditto Sax Rhomer's Fu Manchu--

Fred Saberhagen's Love Conquers All changed my mind about abortion, with a little help from PKD's The Pre-Persons...

The Twilight Men, by Otto Basil- how Hitler nuked NYC, won the war, and the collapse later of the Nazi regime...

Whoops- wife ( the Queen ) and dog ( the Princess ) are giving me dirty looks again- gotta run...

While not great literature, I'm totally absorbed by the "Left Behind" series. A friend gave me the last book of the set yesterday and I'm holding out opening the first page because I won't put it down until I'm done.......

I'm currently reading two other books from the local library - one is "Exploring Church History" by Howard Vos, and the other is "Rumsfeld" by Midge Decter.

I have to say, Rumsfeld was incredibly good looking as a young man - great pictures!

Well, I really liked all of the following:

Enemies Foreign and Domestic by Freeper Travis McGee.

The Number of Infinity by Freeper PlusOne.

The Way of the Wolf from the Vampire Earth Series by Freeper snake65.

and am now reading Bargained for Exchange by Freeper Jim Macomber.

All of them better than most of what you can buy from any of the so called "leading" authors IMHO.

2 of my favorite reads:

Stephen King's "The Stand" and "Bag of Bones"

However, I will only get his stuff via the library now as I will never buy another book of his...He participated in anti-war marches and is on our boycott list.
