[/quote] I couldnt stand the Italian words. :bleh: As for books Im currently reading a book called Ceasar by Conn Iggulden. Its the first book in a serie (rather new I think).

C.S. Lewis can be a good writer, but some of his work was too religious. For instance, there's a trilogy he wrote (Out of the Silent Planet, Voyage to Venus, That Hideous Strength - I think) where the aliens are all good and man is evil and the main character has to stop the bad men from doing what he describes as an alien version of the crucifiction of Jesus. I don't like it when I read a book like that and they mingle in their own religious beliefs as facts.
Anyway, I generally only read science fiction. I do read some Piers Anthony, but I can't get all of his series of books as whole sets. My consistent favourite would have to probably be Robert Heinlein or Isaac Asimov. I've read all the Foundation books (except Caves of Steel - I am about to read that), and thought they were great. Most of the books on top are ones that I haven't read yet. I seem to be able to buy them quicker than I can read them. Here's a photo of my book collection (mostly science fiction): http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/7071/bookshelf1wf.jpg Also I have a high-res version for those with a good connection who want to see the titles of all the books: http://img423.imageshack.us/img423/1...0016zo.opt.jpg |

What a small bookshelf. It shall bow infront of the loads we have. We must have at least 5 room-height bookshelves...

It's not science fiction. THIS IS SCIENCE FICTION! A literary or cinematic genre in which fantasy, typically based on speculative scientific discoveries or developments, environmental changes, space travel, or life on other planets, forms part of the plot or background. There is no fantasy in Clockwork Orange, there are no major changes to society and/or enviromental/scientific advancements. It's fiction, so much fiction in fact, that the side of the original edition and the new edition both cleary printed upon them read "Fiction". To add onto that, the writer even stated that it was Fiction. It was Moralistic Fiction, not Science Fiction. Know YOUR genres before you contradict me. |
Hee hee, it's like poking a caged lion with a stick. Lookat him dance.
