sorry for the extra post but for an in depth history of Wallachia, and eastern Europe from the late 1400's as well as the man known as vald the implaer, I would suggest Vlad the Impaler, Its old, so your library probably has it.
Theres also a great book called the timtables of hsitory, and for a fictionalized version of the space race get, Space by james Michener. |
I've read Space.
I liked it but it was a little boring for me. I also liked Texas and the Floating World by James Michener |
^ well someone has just come out and shown that they have an intelligent reading ability.
You should read, Centennial, theres a tv series too. I also have some books about sailing, and the sea, anyone intrested should PM me. id mail them to you. |

Some easy reads.. links for reviews/summary.
The Ear, The Eye, and the Arm - Nancy Farmer Redwall (and series) - Brian Jacques Ender's Game (and an the subsequent series) - Orson Scott Card Some not so easy reads... Siddhartha - Hermann Hesse The Stranger - Albert Camus Candide - Voltaire The Divine Comedy - Dante Alighieri This is where you will find the Inferno, the most famous of the 3 books. The other books are also excellent, so read the whole thing and not just the Inferno. This is also where you will find the famous quote "Abandon all Hope, Ye who enter here" the most used translation... My favorite Shakespeare (I'm one of the few, sad people I know who has read his complete works =/ ) The Tempest Macbeth (where the Sound and Fury quote comes from) As You Like It (my fav Shake comedy) Really I would put more, but the more I think about it - the more exhausting it seems... some authors.. Hesse, Hemmingway, more Camus!, Tolstoy, Bradbury, ASIMOV (why haven't I seen him in the thread yet?) more Palahniuk, Tom Wolfe anyone? Please someone get some Vonnegut up here... Galapagos for the win. I'm tired. Any body a philosophy fan out there? Haven't seen any DesCartes, Rousseau, saw someone recommend Plato's Republic... that's not a fun read, imo. Interesting, but defintely not fun. Get Sartre's "No Exit" or Beckitt's "Waiting for Godot" these are plays, but freakin' awesome... UH, for a fun read someone grab some Neil Simon. Biloxi Blues GO. Hell, if you want good Plato get something short... Allegory of the Cave is a fun read. |
