i know theres a lot of intellectual on the OCUK forum so i thoght i ask you guys :p

im getting back into reading cause most of the time i just sit on my PC staring at nothing when it could be put into good use like reading a book, so at them moment im in the middle of 1984 By Orwell if no one knows, is there any books out there thats interesting not nesseceraly like 1984, but something with twists in them or a "should" read book.

im a fan of Chuck Palahniuk, but im kinda lazy so i havent read all his books, cept Fight Club and half of Diary (which is terribly boring and bad)

books i dont wont be reading or pick up is soppy romance / da davinci code / horror.

recommend away!

ooh ooh...read ALL the Chuck books...he's probably my faaaavourite!!! i cant believe you didnt like Diary. Read Invisible Monsters and Lullaby, they're the best imho.

also, read:

Bee Season - Myla Goldberg. something about that book just makes me love it to death
Generation X - Douglas Coupland
Microserfs - Douglas Coupland
Angels and Demons - Dan Brown
Wasp Factory - Iain Banks

i just didnt find Diary that good, it had too many "flashbacks" of the beach and such and got a tad boring nearer the middle, i mean i might give it another go since i am reading 1984 again, but i doubt it be any time soon :p

whats Angels and Demons about? someone recommended me Dan Brown - Digital Fortress dont know if youve read that?

whats Bee Season, seeing as you like it so much? :)

I like to read Andy McNabs books. Bloody good author I think, definitely worth reading some of his.

Remote Control is his first fictional book or if you want to read non-fiction then get Bravo Two Zero or Immediate Action.

does he write stories like Tom Clancy, most things governmnet related?
 
im not a big sci-fi fan, but some sci-fi is okay, since as you said, there are a lot to describe generally in sci-fi books and films so it gets kinda slow.

lots of books here, keep em coming!! i will check each book and see which one(s) i will be picking up :D
 
Sic, just wanted to ask, is Invisible Monsters Chucks newest one? heard it was smiliar to Fight Club, is it?

i was thinking about picking up Choke the other day

i dont really read, thats the thing. i used to read a lot of anything from enciclopedias/Discovery/Animals to books to your magazines. but i kinda drifted of from reading, but now i havent picked up a book in a few years last book book i read was Fight Club, then got half way with Diary, now im reading 1984, which should take a couple of days to get through which i am enjoying at the moment.

so far books that sounds interesting or books ive been wanting to pick up are:

Choke
Invisible Monsters
Dan Browns first novel

and some others i dont remember lol
