Yeah dirk rulz

Don't forget Giordano! He's teh best....

And there are a couple of new ones as well in the more recent books.

This thread has been hijacked!

I am not to fond of Austin yet..
I would love to have Dirks hanger house and cars! and who could forget the bathtub that he used to float from cuba back to intl waters with.

:ylsuper
Hell yeah! His classic cars are awesome. Some of the vehicles he owns/has driven/flown/ridden make the mind boggle. What about the boat place thing that he shot down the Bi Plane with then crash landed.

Yeah...

To cool,
Rudi Gunn, was another cool character.

Damn I am going to half to dig up his books and read them again...

Don't even get me started on Terry Goodkind or Robert Asprin

Stephen King and W.E.B Duboise:D

Tom Clancy
F Scott Fitzgerald
Sue Townsend
Stephen King

I like ROBIN COOK
and when Im being a simple minded youth I read S. Perry , not much to choose from but its all action packed and is very interesting without being overly complicated at times (like ROBIN COOK) lol !!!

Right now im reading A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge and `it is very good , a book has to be very interesting to keep my ADD like attention span on it. I love sci-fi

Frank Herbert is my favourite.

Oh and the guy who wrote the story about the Birds. The Hitchcock guy

douglas adams :ylsuper

Jon Land Egdar allen Poe Homer (writer of the illiad best story of all time) Tom Clansy tons more but i won't bore you

ok maybe i exagerated. i mean it was still very interesting and it a plethora of interesting ideeas but the book itself it was nowere near as good as a deepness upon the sky. to me it felt a bit like cheap drama plus i was disapinted that it did not build upon the previous book.

of course this is my personal opinion you might like it better. i did win a hugo if i'm not mistaken.

I think that fire upon the deep was writting before a deepness in the sky. ADITS is like a prequel written afterwards. Like star wars.

i had no ideea. i did not look at the publishing dates:confused:

well I think I'll check it out anyways , it cant be so bad , as long as stuff happens frequently I'll keep coming back to it :)

George R.R. Martin is the best fantasy author I have ever read. Read the first book in the Song of Ice and Fire series and you will read the others. That is a promise. It is absolutely incredible. Everyone I've talked to has loved the books so damn much. They are awesome. Anyone who sez different is a loser :argue: :finger:

hehe I dont really care for fantasy , I like more along the lines of future techish and space sci-fiction.

Whatever floats your yacht...:rolleyes:

But George Martin does an excellent job of keeping the story "real" and doesn't have pompous wizards throwing lighting bolts at each other. When the supernatural is thrown in you aren't even expecting it. Thats what makes it so damn good :flash:

W3rd dude, Robin Cook is pretty good. I also enjoy older writers such as Thoreau, Fitzgerald, Hawthorne, as well as poets like Rober Frost.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky
C.S. Lewis
Leo Tolstoi
George Bernard Shaw

Reading them in order would definitely be advisable! :) Otherwise it would be a recipe for confusion...

The book series leaves the movies etc in the dust too, so make sure you don't miss out :D

I hate it when I find a interesting book and find its like pt 2 in a 5pt series !!! I buy it but never read it till I find all the previous. It actually makes me quite angry .
