Anyone read books anymore?

[ShadowMarth]

Science Fiction is mostly all I read. I just finished the combined works of Michael Chrichton and Douglass Adams (RIP...), and am working on finishing up the books of Arthur C. Clarke (nearly dead... can't remember what he wrote anymore). I am currently reading Cradle, and combined effort of Arthur C. Clarke and Gentry Lee. I already finished the 2001 series (much better than the movies, as usual). My favorites are Timeline, 2001, all of Hitchhiker's Guide series (except the last one, it had a bad ending...), and many of Isaac Asimov's short story collections.

Cool, I'm a 64.

I need to read the Hitchhickers guide, that books sounds great, 42! I've never seen the BBC version, oh and I should read the book before the movie. People who have never read Lord of the Rings but think the movie was great annoy me, the book was a million times better.

I've heard a lot about Arthur C. Clarke, maybe I'll check a few of his books sometime, he seems highly regarded.

I've seen the book. Never actually had time to read it though. Sounds... interesting... :D

Other than that, I've been reading "The Da Vinci Code" as well. I know, too many people reading it. I got swept in. :P

Reading books makes the world go 'round. :D

Iunno, but it's cool to think that some of it could be true. And the stuff about the Priory of Sion is complete bs, the thing exists, except it's a massive joke by the guys who made it apparently.
Also, there's a whole bunch of stuff, such as PHI, that's absolutely amazing. (Plus PHI actually exists).
It's just a good read, the guy's a great author. :D

42 of course :)

By the way I run gentoo also :) it's just nice simple & clean.

Hmm that guy may be a good author? But too many people take that book as fact. I think ignorance is dangerous.
