i always fancied having a go at a terry pratchett one,...but to be honest,,,

i think i,m scared of getting hooked,,....if that makes sense?..

whenever i read a fantasy novel ,..i think about it for weeks afterwards,,,

i dont know if this is normal,,,hahaha ,...but i get really absorbed and when i finish a really good book i get a bit grim with everything..

so then have to start another right away,...

maybe i,m trying to escape reality or summat,...lol

Try Gates Of Fire By Steven Pressfield good book, bit heavy with the greek names but very motivational, I had to make sure I read it during the day as if I read in the evening I couldn`t sleep:crazy:

Only book I ever read cover to cover was called *Rocks in my mouth* about the legion very good.

Patch

Although i liked it alot, its not a patch on his Angels and Demons book. Absolutely brilliant read, and i recommend it to everyone!

Reading is overrated, I mean comon it`s the XXI century with plasma TV, DVDs, Xbox, text-to-speech softwares... 24hrs in a day is not enough for books anyway (as one of my teachers once said `Reading is a waste of time` she was great wasnt`she?) that said, some of the books I read quite some time ago and care to remember is

Hagakure (spelled 葉隠聞書 remember that) - The Book of the Samurai, awesome if you interested in this kinda stuff (if you think samurai=tom crusie this is probably not your book )
A History of the Crusades by Sir Steven Runciman. One of the best (history) book I ever read and I read a few. Picked his book up by chance in the uni library and I`m so glad I did.
But most of the stuff I read nowadays is about my future profession as a CG artist - should I ever get there lol - (anatomy books, and books of naked women for reference purposes) and of course uk-muscle :lift: Come to think of it I don`t read fiction anymore, only stuff I can learn from and put it into real-life practice. Boring I know..

Incredible Bulk

Anno Dracula - Excellent fictional vampire book where Jack the Ripper is a vampire hunter and all hookers are vampires. Well worth a read.

Games People PLay - Robert Longdon. Good psychology book on the interactions between people is certain situations. Makes relationships and interaction much easier to understand.

NLP in 21 days - Currently reading this, would be good for anyone involved in sales or a face to face workplace as it teaches you little ideas to use in your interactions.

Sports Hypnosis - Reading at the moment. Self hypnosis and others for sports performance. Theres some quite powerful ideas for mental focus and drive.
