GunSmith 2452 Report post Posted July 7, 2012 I'm still powering through Stephen King's The Stand. My God, what a book. If you're up to a 1500-page monster when you're not busy, go for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

narcolepsy 581 Report post Posted August 3, 2012 I'm reading Peacful Privates. I mean! Pieces of Privates I mean! Private Pieces I mean! Private Peacful. Yeh, that's the one. Great book, I hear it's popular in England.. Only because it's a GCSE piece. Nobody would read it otherwise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ku Zi Mu 1194 Report post Posted August 4, 2012 I guess I have a bad taste in literature. I never really look at the ratings of a book or how praised the author is, I just read it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a good book, just nobody would read it if it wasn't set as a piece of coursework. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtagrl 4316 Report post Posted August 29, 2012 Can anyone recommend a good American Revolution book? I'd like to get to know the historical context in advance of playing Assassin's Creed III when it comes out this fall. I want something interesting and engaging, but not dry. Suggestions for fiction or non-fiction are welcome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gtagrl 4316 Report post Posted September 29, 2012 Just got back from the library. Found a novel by Jeff Shaara on the American Revolution to prep for ACIII, a collection of H.P. Lovecraft, and an early George R.R. Martin book called The Armaggedon Rag, which is a murder mystery completely unlike the Song of Ice and Fire series. It's pouring rain, time to curl up by the fire with a book! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted September 29, 2012 Sweet. I'm not that clued when it comes to the American Rev. Would be a good thing to read, if it's not too fictional? Tell me how it was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtagrl 4316 Report post Posted October 3, 2012 So I got a good start this weekend on The Glorious Cause since I found a hard copy at the library. It's been a few weeks, I've been waiting for the first book to become available digitally from there too. Just downloaded A Rise to Rebellion, since I'd rather read them in order, the first book starts with the Boston Massacre. I suspect he can't technically be listed as a historical writer, but all his content is deeply researched, just presented in a decent prose that's nothing like dry textbook language. It's a good read, I'd recommend it, it seems ideal for someone like me who is unfamiliar with US history. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beatnicpie 825 Report post Posted December 12, 2012 I read The Shooters ( a gallery of gunmen from the old west) to my lady as she falls asleep. It always makes me think of meeting her in RDR coop matches. Great section on Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
