So I typically read a lot, but I work in a lab and things get rather boring and repetitive. So i buy books and download them onto my ipod so that I have something besides music to listen to sooo my question is this... What are your book suggestions? What's your favorite book. What's funny and witty and well written?

GreedyTop -> RE: Book suggestions (9/22/2008 3:41:55 PM)
anything by CArl Hiaasen

I love Chuck Palahniuk. A strange mind. Haunted is my favorite.

LadyLupineNYC -> RE: Book suggestions (9/22/2008 3:55:46 PM)
I have been OBSESED with anything Zoe Oldenbourg. Especially “The World is Not Enough” and it’s sequel “The Cornerstone”. Screw the RenFaire, this is the 1200s as it was by a well known historian. Also, if you are more into fantasy, the books in the Temeraire series (N. Novik) and Jonathan Strange (S. Clarke)

Being a science fiction nut I'd suggest the following: Tracy Hickman Margaret Weiss Stephen R Donaldson Frank Herbert Arthur Clarke Mercedes Lackey Anne McCaffery

Cory Doctorow is da BOMB. Really smart, funny, and on target. William Gibson, too.

MadAxeman -> RE: Book suggestions (9/23/2008 3:41:15 PM)
*Try Tom Sharpe. His South African titles like Riotous Assembly and Indecent Exposure are brutal and hilarious. They poke fun at the regime and have outrageous sex.*

DesFIP -> RE: Book suggestions (9/23/2008 5:39:00 PM)
Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Superb.

Surata -> RE: Book suggestions (9/23/2008 5:41:47 PM)
Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z. Brite. I can't say what it's about because it goes WAY against the TOS here, but it's well-written nonetheless. Also, anything in the "Dark" series by Christine Feehan. D/s vampire themes in most of the books.

That was one of the most disturbing books I ever read, but I couldn't put it down. She's a wonderful author. I'm a fan of A.S.Byatt. If you can, get hold of a copy of "Little Black Book of Stories". Every story in this collection of five is better than the one before.

I was reading the book called tomato girl I had to put the book down and return it to the library unfinished something I absolutely hate, but it just got to my struck a very raw cord.

YourhandMyAss -> RE: Book suggestions (9/23/2008 6:20:28 PM)
I liked the anita k hamilton anita blake books but I don't know if they are on tape. my second suggestion would be to look through your library's website if they have one for books on tape.
