What is the one book......

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Robert Enke A Life Too short

Very sad to read but a great view of a very good goalkeeper fighting depression.

 

[Damocles]

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

 

[bluevengence]

Watchmen.

Best thing i've ever read, but most people wouldn't read it because it's a comic.

It's a fucking masterpiece in how to craft a tale.

I used to drink with Alan Moore in Northampton labour club.....still about but hav`nt seen him for a few years now


My book is ...The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists by Robert Tressell

The original War of The Worlds by H.G Wells is fantastic.

 

[moonshiner]

'Guns germs and steel' by Jared Diamond. Spells out human history since the ice age, and why Europeans got ahead of the rest of the world.

This.

 

[Skashion]

I'm in the "Total Bag of Shite" camp

I think that's another thread. What one book would you allow to be burned?

 

[roaminblue]

Has anyone read "the Historian"?

It really surprised me, because its not a genre that I usually have any interest in, but I found it to be a really good read.

Another such book was "pillars of the earth". Not my genre at all, but I couldn't put it down.

[foetus]

To Kill a Mockingbird

Shoot all the bluejays you want, but it would be a sin to.......

Best book ever for me. Just superb.

I have like probably everyone else a weird imagination so had the characters in my mind. Saw the film and the guy who picked the actors is spot on. Brilliant book and then film.

Hated it when I was forced to read it at school. Got bored and stopped reading halfway through. Hired the movie instead, that was boring too!

The Honourable Schoolboy by John Le Carre is my favourite book (that Ive so far read)
