I'll get straight to the point, why are books not included in the forum title?
I'm sure a lot of people who visit this site read books. I don't read that often because my computer, Music and TV do take up a lot of my spare time but i think it's so important that people do actually read books. Books can be as entertaining as wasting somebody you don't know on the net while playing Quake 3. Books increase your vocabulary, improve your grammar and also your spelling. More and more young people are becoming attached to their PC's, Playstation's, Nintendo's and TV while there are some fantastic novels just begging to be read. Lord of the Rings for example is one of the best books ever written, ask how many people have read it and i bet that hardly anybody has. The same with other great books like the Hobbit, 2001 a Space Odessy and Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
At the moment i'm reading Andy McNab's latest book "Crisis Four" i know it's not a classic but it's still a good book in my view and the other books he has written are good as well. They are starting to get slightly repetitive though so i'm going to read something completely different next time.
So go read a book come back and talk about it. I'm sure other people would like to know what you think about books that you are reading.

Yep that's the one!
It's certainly good, and I would have liked it a whole lot more if I hadn't just finished reading Desperation before I started reading it.
Desperation is the best Stephen King book I've read to date. Even though it had elements of religion riddled all through it, I loved it!

That the one with the pro-lifers and the aura-lines above people's head?
I remeber that as being pretty cool.

I too have two books on the go at the mo, though one is strictly for study purposes, that being the Examcram Routing and Switching book.
The other book being Stephen Kings Insomnia. Not one of his best, but not one of his worst either.

Tropic of Cancer is awesome.
And some of Anais Nin's own stuff is pretty good.

I'm actually plodding through Mick Foley's auto-biography t the moment, from then on, I'll probably move on to something by Henry Miller, since a friend of mine recommended him to me

Good idea though.
I have two books on the go right now.
One is The Tibetan Book of The Dead.
It's ok, basically the chants and prayers that Buddhists use to guide a recently deceased person through the differing levels of consiousness as they move into their next stage.
It says that death is nothing to fear, a mere step into the next plane of your existance. You may not possess corporal form, but you still exist. A bit hard to get through sometimes, but still an interesting read.
2nd is "Dear Boy", a biography of Keith Moon.
Moon was the drummer for The Who, a personal inspiration of mine and the reason I play drums. Animal from The Muppets was based on Moonie.

No book forum because that requires a level of literacy.
And, judging from a LOT of posts by people, that isn't high on their agendas.
Ooooo...controversial
