    The Bible will change your life....

    By making you believe there's an imaginary dude in the sky who is watching you every second of your life and judging you.

    On top of that, he's your creator, and ostensibly gets a perverse pleasure from judging his own creations. Those he doesn't like go into the Trash bin of the universe - Hell....

    But despite all of this... (to rip off Carlin)... HE LOVES YOU.

    It turns out I've actually read more of the Bible than most Christians. I don't have the wool pulled over my eyes, though ;)

    What is it?

    Truthfully I'm not a book worm at all. I tend to get board when I read unless its a amazing book. So I'm looking for a great book that I can read, especially if its a classic. What should it be? BTW I'm a guy so no "Fifty Shades of Grey" haha

    hmm maybe you should try the count of monte christo...guys and all that...

    They Call Me Coach by John Wooden. A must read for any sports coach at every level and a great read on how to be a much better human.

    Oh too many pages to read through!

    'Middlesex' by Jeffrey Eugenides
    'We Need To Talk About Kevin' by
    And Songs of Fire and Ice - have huge huge love for these books and can't wait for the next installment *drumming fingers impatiently*

    If you have an ebook reader and you have ever liked ANY sci-fi then please please please read the Spinward Fringe series by Randolph Lalonde - I was amazed that something as pacy and story driven as these books are only available in electronic format yet 50 Shades of Grey became a best seller.

    Reading back through this thread has triggered my memory wrt certain authors:

    Catch-22 - Jospeh Heller. We are all Milo Minderbinder.

    Other great books by Heller - Something Happened and Good as Gold.

    Concrete Island, Crash, High Rise - J G Ballard

    Oh and Philip Pullman His Dark Materials.

    The girl with a dragon tattoo by Stieg Larsson is very gripping a thriller :-)

    I second this. I've read books one and two, I can't wait to get my hands on the third one

    I'm told Game of Thrones is a very good read. You have to stick with it though the first chapter is a tough sell but once you get into it it's fantastic. At least that's what I"m told. Since I haven't read it myself.
