I agree with the killer angels

Ok heres some I recommend

The turner diaries-So bad it's funny

Les miserables-Way better than any crappy movie or stage play

Shogun-The mini series is good but the book is way better

Christine-Once again movie is good book is way better

War of the worlds- the original from the 1890s much better than the adaptations of it.

Here are the books I recommend:

The Anarchist Red Book
The Anarchist Black Book

Stephen Hawkings:
A Brief History In Time I think that is what it's called.
The Universe in a Nutshell.

The Anarchist books teack you how to make bombs with household items

am i allowed to say that here.

The Stephen Hawking books could very most likely be the most confusing books ever created on earth. It clearly explains and proves the theory of wormholes and timetravel. It also proves that everyone on earth is a hologram.

If you want to go crazy, read the Anarchist books.
If you want your mind to be compleately destroyed, read Hawkings books.

"Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson is good, in that it somewhat predicted America TODAY a decade ago. And it's an amusing, pseudo-cyberpunk read. Only several million dollars at finer used bookstores near you

.

"Rising Sun" by Michael Crichton is a good thriller, as well as being a fascinating read without the whodunit stuff. It also talks about video editing, which may interest some of you clip cutting folks. Has a humorous econo-xenophobic aspect to it (it was written in the early 90s, when anti-Japanese business angst was high. Ironically, the US had the better economy during the 90s, while Japan entered, and is still in, something of a recession).

"The Boys From Brazil" by Ira Levin was a fun read, if for the sheer ludicrous aspect of it.

I'm currently enjoying "Black Hawk Down" (I got a copy printed before the movie came out - you may want to do the same thing, just in case they added useless shit).

Anne Rice, and yes, the first three are very good indeed. Very descriptive form of writing.
