Better post the one book I read this year before it ends:
[image loading]
I don't like reading, and the only book I could say I honestly enjoyed reading before this one was Steven colbert's I am america, and so can you (but this book is nothing like it.) But this one was very deep and enjoyable. Short book from 1890s. I can't desccribe it without giving it away.

Just read:

A really really good book. Basicly it's a short history on science, and how we know what we know. The great thing is is that the author isn't a scientist, so its very easy to read even without any scientific background.
We know nothing.

"The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz A Toltec Wisdom book

The "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramahnsa Yogananda

"Three Magic Words" by U.S. Andersen


P.S. To Fzero: I loved Dune, which was introduced to me by a great guy.

Currently devouring Discworld novels like their were ice-cream sandwiches. Terry Pratchett is a truly amazing writer. Gone through 5 of them in the last month.

i JUST finished reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins as well as the sequels Catching Fire and Mockingjay, all three were really good books. I dont like how the third book came out but it wasnt bad. However the first two are rlly entertaining and its a rlly easy read.
[image loading]

Before these i read an even more amazing series. the Old Man's War series. AMAZING books,i would seriously put them on par with Ender's Game. They are that good. And the science behind it is not SO ridiculous that its totally unbelievable i strongly recommend that if you're looking for a good sci fi series to read, try Old Man's War by John Scalzi.

[image loading]

and do urself a favor and pick up all three because you'll just end up having to drive back for the others. Read: Old Man's War, then The Ghost Brigades, then The Last Colony. and then thank me when your done ;]


As for my next books to read, i have no idea. so many options i havent read. 1984 maybe? dune? hyperion? Asimov's Foundation? the girl with the dragon tattoo? ian banks culture novels?the belgariad? a fire upon the deep?world war z? day by day armageddon?

You my friend have good taste in Hard Scifi. :3

I just finished reading Ilium by Dan Simmons, who also wrote Hyperion and it's quite good. I'm also looking for book recommendations in the Science Fiction area as I've read most of the books you've listed with the exception of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Maybe I'll pick that up!

Would this be worth reading? I honestly can't tell if it is just over hyped or something I should pick up, heard both sides.

It's definitely worth reading, but if you are going to read only one, I would recommend:

Foundation is quite boring, actually. It's legendary for the scope, but it definitely lacks the opera portion of space opera.

Its a really good book, i think anyone who wants to understand more about the people of Afghanistan/Pakistan in the tribal areas should read this.

Really brutal so far.. and also quite interesting. This book makes me want more Takeshi Kovacs. If you are into Cyberpunk/SciFi, read this!
