Ahhh actually that is my favourite Clancy book.

russ..... i remember finding that book at my mums when i was about six, and reading it almost hourly. i couldnt comprehend what i was reading. it was insane.
the pictures are amazing.

haha me too. at about the same age, my friends mum banned me from reading it when i used to read it after school, so mum & dad bought me my own copy and i got 'the talk'


jokes, it was actually last yeat

year*

Some Alternate History recommendations (that's when the author changes sthings around e.g. Germany wins WW2 and the like):
*The Guns of the South by Harry Turtledove (South African white supremacists jump in a time machine and go back to near the end of the American Civil War, supply the south with AK47s and it carries on from there).
*The Peshawar Rifles by S.M. Stirling (set in a world where Europe has been devastated during the 1850s by a fuckoff big meteor - sort of adventure/good guy saves girl story)
*Island in the Sea of Time by S.M. Stirling (modern island of Nantucket mysteriously winds up in 2000BC, Islanders get involved in world affairs, introduce technology, have wars etc.) - thats the first in a trilogy by the way.
*Fatherland by Robert Harris (detective story set in post WW2 Germany where the Germans won the war)
*Lighter Than a Feather by Robert Westheimer (novel about the invasion of the Japanese Home Islands in WW2 in Operation Olympic - it didn't go ahead in the real world)

All good yarns that get you thinking too.

bondi...John Birmingham's Weapons At War Trilogy is similar. large multinational taskforce gets sent back in time to WW2. germans get their hands on new technology...Japs read the history books...find out where they went wrong and invade Australia...Bundaberg is the scene of a huge battle.

A good yarn.

Yeah I read all of those Laz and they are tops - you know he lives up your way too. I've conversed with the feller via teh InterWebz and successfully missed having dinner with the bloke the last few times he's come to Sydney...

I mentioned his last book Without Warning earlier in this thread too, the sequel is off to the publishers this week I believe. They are all vastly different to his earlier efforts like He Died With a Fleafel In His Hand, The Tasmanian Babes Fiasco and Leviathan.

He's a prolofic facebook updater. Like: Doing a poo, consistancy good.

Now eating some great food.

Trying to meet a deadline..

etc etc

I haven't bothered to add him to my facebook list - but his blog and entries for the Brisbane Times are good for a laugh.

Fairly certain I've seen your 'name' in one of his blogs...comments etc.

No doubt you have Mr Panaflex. My reputation precedes me!

Besides, I have to find somthing to do with my working days!

i'm on holiday so i've just managed to get through..

Gaspipe - bio on Killer/Mob Boss Tony Casso
Without Warning by John Birmingham
now i'm reading a book on survival by some ex SAS chap

anyone notice the news readers are far less attractive in regional areas?

Finished Hell's Angels last night, I'll have to sift back through this thread the next book now.

And yes Drew, Chris Bath was pretty ordinary back in her NBN (newcastle) days, but now that she's moved up to 7's makeup and stylists shes looking way better.

found this book in the cupboard on friday night, well 3 books, the 'beast house' trilogy by this prick richard laymon. anyone read em? i did the lot that night, stayed up till 6am and my mouth was open the whole time, like "mother of god". theres this beast, dont wanna give too much away but it gets women, rapes the shit out of them and all that stuff. gets em preggers too. pretty graphic. and his dick, its got a mouth on the end with jaws. the whole time i was just thinking about the author, like where the fuck did he come up with this shit. i think itd be right up your alley, laz. will lend to anyone in bris

Pigs might fly.

i apologize if it has already been said

but mark twain! i love his books.

the alchemist by paulo coelho is a great book

cain and abel fuckin rocks too

there are many many others and ican't think right now

Hey russ,

Boarders had hells angels in their classics collection for 10 bucks.

get a ps3

I'm reading Dark Truths - Enter The Twisted World of The Serial Killer. It focuses on the psychology of serial killers. Pretty good, considering most serial killer books are sensationalist pieces of shit.

Started reading bram stoker's dracula this morning.
