World War Z - Factual account of the Zombie war. No, really And it's awesome.

Spotted that in Waterstones, was sorely tempted!


Iain M Banks - The Algebraist

 

[Jonny69]

Why Don't Penguin's Feet Freeze? which is a follow up book to Does Anything Eat Wasps?, both collections of readers' questions/answers from New Scientist. Absolutely fantastic read, informative and ridiculously amusing.

Also Keep meaning to re-read Brett Easton-Ellis' American Psycho and Steven King's Christine. Two favourites.

Bill Bryson - A Short History of Nearly Everything

Superb book. An informative book that is actually fun to read. So good infact that a couple of my lecturers reccommend it as reading material for my course.

Just finished reading Jeremy Clarksons "And Another Thing vol. 2" and am now just starting "Vulcan 607".

 

[Lunatic Dreyfus]

The World Crisis - Winston Churchill

The Long Way Round - Obi-Wan Kenobi & Charlie Boorman

World War Z - Factual account of the Zombie war. No, really And it's awesome.

Sounds wonderfully mental! I just ordered a copy.

Great isn't it?

Flick to page 122. For the last 2 weeks I've been trying desperately to get hot water to freeze quicker than cold water - all for my physics project. So far I've not had much luck.

I loved that book. I am currently reading Applied AI in Java, i need to read it for uni but i am actually enjoying it

 

[Deadly Ferret]

The Missing Three Quarter, a Sherlock Holmes story.

 

[Scania]

Much better than the (very good) old war film.

 

[abruzz1]

Frankenstein - Mary Shelley.

 

[Jenjey]

Right this minute....

Principles of anatomy and physiology - Tortora and Derrickson

 

[Burnsy2023]

Jeremy Clarkson - Born to be riled.

Good book, if a little outdated.

Burnsy

Edit: although at this exact minute I'm reading: "E-Business and E-commerce Management" Dave Chaffy

The plot is a little dry but a good read

 

[Arcade Fire]

PREY by michael crichton, (aint started it yet but its on me bedside table

If I may permit myself to express an opinion; 'Prey' is by far one of the worst books that I've ever read and my recommendation would be to burn it immediately.

 

[Velocity219e]

The Nano Flower - Peter F Hamilton

Fall of Hyperion - Dan Simmons

 

[Simian]

Slowly working my way through the 'Hitchhikers' Trilogy (of Five parts)... I'm currently 4 Chapters into 'Life the Universe and Everything'.

 

[iCraig]

Galileo's Finger by Peter Atkins.

Very good book, although there is a lot of unneeded linguistic gymnastics, some times it's as though he's found the most complicated word for something to enhance his obvious intelligence, a bit irritating but the book is still good. Especially his atheist views on evolution and biology.

 

[Welshy]

"The Theory of Poker" by David Sklansky.

Not a novel like most of you are quoting, but a definate recommendation if your an average poker player wanting to learn some advanced techniques
