@simon626:
you should read his book if you're looking for something fast and exciting that'll keep you turning pagesss.
OK, thats my type of read!
If people read French around here, Dantec is baaaad. Fucked up, violent, sci-fi, war, despair,some philosophy on top…Actually if people on this thread can recommend drugged up fuck ups stories, preferably violent, in the middle on nowhere in America in the middle of the 22d century... I'm all ears.

Bill Bryson, namely A short history of nearly everything.

The Long Walk by Slavomir Rawicz
Hell. Yes. This is possibly the most epic story I've ever read. Totally a book worth marathoning. Don't stop reading until it's finished, which isn't all that difficult. Just…wow. I was reading "The Gulag Archipelago" by Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn at the same time...fucked up in a pretty viceral way. Great tandem read.
-
the gulag archipelago is great. not quite as much of an easy read as the long walk but i loved it. have you read Kolmya Stories? another great one about the gulag.

hi, i just got a kindle and i downloaded a load of free books so i'd have something to read when it arrived. at the moment i'm reading 3 at once:
the mysterious island by jules verne. love it! the engineer is like a 19th century magyver.
the communist manifesto which is heavy going, but i've learned that i'm a prole and giles is a member of the bourgeoisie!
the king james bible, never read it before but it's very interesting, those guys used to live for about 900 years! imagine the fades they could have got on a pair of IH jeans! -
Just about to start reading this
