Ouster- I had no idea he wrote a book under a pen name. I’ll check it out. Cryptonomicon was great. Worth a re-read for sure.
Have to agree about Neal Stephenson, anything he does is outstanding. He wrote 2 books as Stephen Bury, “Cobweb” and (even better) “Interface”.
Ayn Rand “The Fountainhead”
if you need a prep for the ASVAB then sorry but you are quite the unintelligent mofo. I had the recruiters calling me everyday “Well looking at your ASVAB scores you can pretty much do whatever you want” and I don’t even think I’m the smartest cookie in the bunch. The test isn’t that hard, really.
Just finishing THE POWER OF MYTH, an interview with Joseph Campbell. As heated as some of the religious discussions get on this board, I think some other T-maggers out there may benefit from reading it. Might change your perspective a bit. I also started another good one the other day–Ayn Rand’s ANTHEM.
The Zohar,
“Using Your Brain for a Change,” “Structure of Majic,” “Structure of Majic II” all by Bandler and Grinder
“A Theory of Everything,” by Ken Wilbur
“Chaos,” and “Complexity,” both by James Glick
Me no read. Me lift weights. Me eat buffalo meat. Me want grow big, me have no time read.
I just finished Swimming Sweet Arrow (recommend!) and am starting The Sun also Rises (Hemmingway).
“Children of Dune” - Frank Herbert. Still killer. I’m re-reading all of the Dune series. The new Dune books by Brian Herbert suck though.
Children of the Matrix… by David Icke… an absolute must. Go to his website… DavidIcke .com
i’ve recently read a few great books that i would highly recommend to anyone:
rule by secrecy, jim marrs-tells the story of how secret societies collude to push a globalist agenda and control governent, not 100% ground truth, but a great starting point for anyone that wants to gain a better understanding of the history of our country and world history, “nothing happens by chance, if it happens you can bet it was planned that way” -franklin roosevelt.
the kennedys:battling wall street, donald gibson-gave me a whole new appreciation for the kennedy white house and what he was trying to accomplish, *note, there was a lot more to jfk than him merely being a skirt chaser, he was one damn smart man, had a tremendous understanding of the economy, and would have been one of the great presidents if not for the bastards that had him killed.
profits of war-all i’m gonna say is this, chapter after chapter this book will shock you.
if anyone needs a book, one of my favorites, “the great american novel”
very funny, good book.
Three things right now:
“A People’s History of the United States” by Howard Zinn (all the stories your school history books DIDN’T tell you).
“The Ralph Nader Reader.” It ain’t easy being Green.
Maxim Magazine - mostly the back issues with Eliza Dushku and Alyssa Milano.
Just picked up Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson along with a few other books today. Thanks for tossing out a few suggestions Shugart- Snow Crash is definitely starting out very interesting.
In order to naturally elevate T levels, I recommend reading any books by one of the best T authors ever, Ernest Hemingway
A great book that I’ve managed to read over and over again was the fictional biography “Musashi” by Eiji Yoshikawa about a samurai in feudal Japan. His total devotion to achieving perfection motivates me more than anything I have ever written. I don’t really like to tell people about this book, because I just love it and wouldn’t mind keeping it to myself. It’s 4 AM here now and I’m finishing a night shift soon, so don’t judge me if this post sounds a bit lost.
Just finished off reading “Guerilla Marketing” by Jay Levinson, “Pushing the Envelope” by Harvey Mackay, “Surviving at the Top” by Donald Trump, and “Unlimited Power” by Anthony Robbins. All awesome books in their own way, especially Unlimited Power. They’re not novels, but hey, I like that stuff. I actually took these all out a few days before Sept. 11th, and returned them yesterday due to the fact that they closed the overnight return shoot and couldn’t get their during the daytime till yesterday. $58 in late fee’s! Buy hey, with what I learned in those books, they more than pay for themselves.
