I started reading pride and predjudice and zombies. Even with the zombie and ninjas it still has way too much pride and predjudice foggotory.




Not to sound ultra gay, but I quite enjoyed the o.g. pride and prejudice. Then I watched the BBC adaption and thought that was quite good too. Its a book in which you just want to punch almost every character in the face.

I thought Trainspotting was almost impossible to read.

Your mother's cellulite is like braille

Read The Chrysalids by John Whyndham recently.

Post-apocalyptic christianity extremism is quite interesting haha

Tried reading A Clockwork Orange, could not get past the 5th page, wayyyyy tooo confusing

Currently reading City of Glass, pretty good for a book about angels, demons, werewolves, vampires and all that junk, it fills in the time

whats a good like really cool short stories book
i get bored on the train to school

Grug has some pretty sweet short stories.

Mr Men? They are short.

I've just finished Paul Carter's latest 'Is That Thing Diesel?' about him riding a biodiesel powered motorcycle around Australia, the first to do it in fact, and the ensuing hilarity. Well, sometimes. It's an amusing, if light, read and Carter does spin a funny yarn.

I'm flicking through a book on the scientists and inventors behind various weapons of war throughout history. Shame I can't remember the title. Anyway, it is something interesting and thought provoking over the morning coffee and wheeties.

skatebob, if you're looking for a laff; david sedaris. dry witty autobiographical short stories.

stephen king has a few short story volumes, always a good read

Damn straight. His short stories are fucking vicious. I loved Apt Pupil...the story about the kid who lives next door to an old German bloke who he outs as being an SS Commander from WW2 and then blackmails the old dude into teaching him the joy of killing people.

I had to learn how to read some how.

Finished clockers by richard price today for the second time so I went to buy advanced fugitive that I think azhay posted a few pages ago. Either way they didnt have it so I bought s.a.s sniper instead so far its pretty good.

www.paladin-press.com

that's the publisher, they make a bunch of books along the lines of 'you're a criminal'

haha, i still got all my paladin press stuff from when i was 15 and into explosions. i grew up on a few hectares in caboolture so it was a prime place to make ieds.

also, kudos braddox for game of thrones, i am liking it so far. is taking me ages because i am busy but i am really liking it.

i just got the pdf for that one azhay, i will read that too.

does anyone know much about .daisy format books? pdf/.mobi converter or fucking off the drm? i don't have a library of congress ebook device and i wanna read this particular seppo book about vietnam war.

fucking apt pupil. of course you know about that one lazlo. i found the sex scenes to be the creepiest parts of that story. thats a fucking gnar short story. i have a real janky copy of that book missing pages and shit. probably makes it creepier. i liked the movie stand by me better than the body and i liked rita hayworth and shawshank redemption better than the movie. discuss??

in my profile i have another favourite short story of mine, somebody should read it.

good books i have read lately

Nirvana: The True story - Everett True
Spray Paint The walls: the story of Black Flag
Norwegian wood - Haruki Murakami

Might have a look into siberian education. Any other similar books you can recommend azhay?

Can not be fucked going through 30 pages to see if these have been mentioned, but here is a list of books i recently read which were pretty cool:
- Heroin Diaries
- I am Ozzy
- Communion by Whitley Strieber
- Seven ancient wonders by Matthew Reilly
- Chariots of the Gods by Erich von daniken

Cheers dude, i'll definitely check those out

watch this also.

..or maybe dont

legend gregor! it was a bit of a hassle at the start but got it sussed now, i looked at a bunch of programs but i couldn't find one, i appreciate it.

just started reading the sicillian this morning have been charging through it.... i like stories about really smooth, proffessional criminals anyone got some suggestions?

I'm into the same kinda thing charly. Have a look above at what azhay suggested for me. I looked into them and will be picking a few up soon for sure. I'm currently reading a ross kemp book. He goes through a bunch of international gangs. Not too much detail because he doesn't just focus on one, but it's doing the job of keeping me interested. You might be interested in one of philip carlo's books. Details the life of a mafia hitman. Have a look into it

One Second After by William R. Forstchen

The novel deals with an unexpected electromagnetic pulse attack on the United States as it affects the people living in and around the town of Black Mountain, North Carolina.

The book's premise sets the stage for a series of "die-offs".
The first takes place within a week (those in hospitals and assisted living). After about 15 days, salmonella induced Typhoid fever and cholera set in from eating tainted food, drinking tainted water, and generally poor sanitation. Americans have lived in an environment of easy hygiene, sterilization, and antibiotics, making them prime targets for third-world diseases.
The lack of bathing and poor diet will lead to rampant feminine hygiene infections; deep cuts, rusty nail punctures, and dog bites go untreated with antibiotics, tetanus shots, or rabies treatment as more die from common infections.
Critical medical supply and food thieves and others are executed in public as enforcement of martial law.

In 30 days cardiac and other drug-dependent patients die off.
In 60 or so days, the pacemaker and Type I diabetics patients begin to die off (although John's young daughter manages to survive until Day 163).
The 5% of population having severe psychotic disorders that no longer have medication will re-create bedlam.
Jury-rigged wood-burning stoves lead to carbon monoxide deaths and fires that cannot be controlled for the lack of a fire department.

Then refugees from the cities show up looking for food and shelter and the fight over scarce resources leads to confrontation, home invasion, and more violence-related die-offs.

The community becomes an inviting target for free prisoners and organized gangs and more violence-related die-off.
Ration cards are issued to conserve the little remaining food; regardless, the community slowly starves with the elderly the first to die off. Next parents starve themselves to save their children.
Throughout this period suicides are common.
After a year, approximately 20% of the initial population has "survived".
