STAT1C_X Member	posted June 29, 2004 05:08 PM Books =/= Magazines I had misplaced Cardinal of the Kremlin, so I just picked that back up today. Think when I am done, I will look into getting a copy of The Da Vinci Code, that books sounds fascinating. __________________ Email: Stat1c_X@hotmail.com I need 2 BB Portal or Foil Sleight of Hand!* You don't need em, who uses em?

I need to find a book to get interested in. Then, time to read it. try the Barsoom series- ie: A Princess of Mars, Gods of Mars, & Warlords of Mars it's about a Virginian named John Carter who-while escaping from indians- gets transported to Mars (it's called Barsoom, but it's inhabitants). i've only read A Princess of Mars, but it was a great book. Burroughs has been forgotten in this day and age. *the book i have has an intro, by Bradbury. btw- read Fahrenhiet 451, but never finished it. like 1984, Brave New World, and the one with Big Brother, i could never get into the totalitarian style of books.

That would be 1984. Too bad you didn't finish F451. It really was a great book--not his best, but great none-the-less. I preferred The Illustrated Man. I'll check out your recommendation. Now, if I could only find some reading time... __________________ I have the best looking H/W List at MOTL! Read my book! Play Dominoes today! "Welcome to my block list, you loser."*
STAT1C_X Member	posted June 29, 2004 06:03 PM I couldn't finish 1984. I could respect it for what it was and what it said, but it lost my interested. Fahrenheit, on the other hand, I thought was a great book. __________________ Email: Stat1c_X@hotmail.com I need 2 BB Portal or Foil Sleight of Hand!* You don't need em, who uses em?

I preferred The Illustrated Man.* I liked Something Wicked this Way Comes more than the Illustrated Man. It was an absolutely amazing metaphor for the internal struggles we all face on a day-to-day basis, and how those stuggles, not the answers, define who we are.
