Pesty:

Anything by Tom Holt. Most of his books are out of print,

Oddly, I've just finished reading 'The First Tom Holt Omnibus' No problem getting hold of his stuff here.

Personally, I try to ignore the little bollock as much as I can. Tricky, I grant you, but do-able.

Hey, been registered for about a week, lurking for a couple months, posted around a bit, just thought I'd post up with the other newbies. Hope to be around for a while, and I may even make a game, eventually.

Hope that's sarcasm, 'cause I actually quite like YOU. Trust me, I grow on you. Like a rash.

LGM:
Interesting. The only reason I even looked at them was that a very Christian mate of mine hyped them at me. I think he thinks they'll convert me. But, it's not so much that they're drawn out, as they're very badly written, and very 'preachy'. I could forgive one, or the other, but not both.

Slypher:
'Meh.' is exactly right.

The Harry Potter books, despite what I may've said in another thread, are worth reading, if you've got nothing better to do. And HHGTTG counts as something better. How far are you?

Read the other thread (what....mad), this IS fun. Sorry to spoil your fun so soon, but it looks like everyone else was on to ya anyway.

I think I've said elsewhere that it takes a lot to turn me totally off a book. One series managed it easily, however - the Left Behind books. Has anyone else read them?

How can you say that, man? I read HHGTTG about every other month and they still rock!

Never really got into Discworld, but of the ones I've read I prefer the Granny Weatherwax/Nanny Ogg ones. Cowgirls is another one of those I've alway wanted to read, but I've never actually seen it for sale anywhere, and can't arsed to spring for it on Amazon.

EDIT:
Hadn't heard of House of Leaves, but, see, this is half the reason I posted this thread. I'm a voracious reader, and I've pretty much read everything I own two or more times, so I'm after recommendations from the (mostly) intelligent AGS people.

w00t! A second reply. Haven't read Lord of the Flies, though I keep meaning to. Never heard of the others, however.

'Universe', but still well worth a read. Enjoying it?

Also, thank you for being my first reply. I was beginning to think no-one cared :'(

Since a lot of my posts in the 'Movie Sequels' thread seemed to be about the books, just thought i'd use my first thread to bring a bit of literature to youse bums.

So, read any good books lately? Me, I've just started my 9,999th re-read of the Hitchhikers trilogy

Now, see, this is the rude version of my 'Don't mean to be rude, but...' post.

How 'bout them ones that inch forward when the light's red, so that they're actually a good cars length past the lights when they change? Man, them buggers burn me so!

EDIT: And yes, Raggit, you've been a relative oasis of sanity, virtue, and non-stinky poo.

This actually nearly made US law, before someone realised how dumb it was.

And it's in the Guardian, so it must be true!

As long as it's useable as a background.

Yes, yes. H2O. Water.

Sorry, been having a serious rant in another thread, felt like being flip.

I just typed a much longer response than this, but my connection had timed out, and I lost it.

Demorgon: That video is what I was thinking of when I called your post disturbing. I assumed Andail was refering to it, and that you had heard about it as well. I've deleted the link, but I also saw worse images from it. That's what I meant when I said we can't let our troops do this and call ourselves the good guys.




I also hate it when people leave just a tiny drop of milk in the carton.

The fact that you think that justifies it. I'm not saying the Iraqi's are totally blameless, but if we want to set ourselves (since Blair has gotten us into this) up as the 'Good Guys' we can't go around torturing people just because they started it.

Again, Demorgon, not shbaz.

Looking at this post, most everyone but MOTAS and LGM hates installers pretty hard.

That's either very sarcastic, or very disturbing.

Demorgon, not Raggit.

In Mallrats, a woman gets hit in the boob. And says 'Ow, my boob.'
It's really funnier if you watch it.
