Well, moving on, then.

Early Thompson that gives the true identity of the infamous M.C. it's best explanation, which wasn't one of drug deals and imperial ambition like that of a mob-oriented group. But really, just the story of a bunch of guys that the world wasn't quite ready for (but needed), who just wanted to have a good time and live life how they saw fit. Purposefully put here if only just to remind us what this country says it stands for, and just how much trouble you get into when you go for it.

I know this is mainly a music message board but I'm in a kind of book-reading mood at the moment. I wanted to create a favorite book thread, but I found that there is already one, although it hasn't been used in ages, so I thought it could use some reviving. My favorite books:

The Animals Of Farthing Wood - Colin Dann (plus the continuation stories)
I watched the TV show when I was younger as well.... I used to be obsessed with it
I have two versions of the book actually
One version is the Omnibus version (with all the stories in one huge hardback book)
The other version is the version they bought out to tie-in with the TV show, so the cover is actually an illustration of how the characters look in the TV show.

Another one of my mroe recent favourite books is this one:

Out - Natsuo Kirino

And If I'm going with book series theres the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
AND
The Women of the Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong

Man did I love this, and I don't think I ever read the book - but when I was younger my parents would put on a tape of the story on car trips. Plus the cartoon was awesome, I can't remember if this was actually in the original but the debris that people almost wrecked themselves on in the river has been a feature of menace in my dreams for so long.

has anyone heard of house of leaves? it's a very reader interactive book. the same author made another book called only revolutions and you have to turn the book upside down every eight pages. they both have multiple character points of views and are reminiscent of through the looking glass and alice in wonderland... just with more contemporary elements.

My all time favorite book is Edith Wharton's 1911 masterpiece novel "Ethan Frome"

A brilliant analysis of the male psyche set aside the austere New England countryside, Ethan Frome is one of the most complex protagonists ever committed to a mere 100 pages. I love this book with all my being and I recommend it to everyone.

I've heard of it. A guy i know recommended it to me, but i really don't like him, so i haven't been interested in reading it at all. Is it any good?

My personal favourite is probably Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, the behemoth of a novel that is responsible for the musical. Believe me, the book is FAR better than the musical is.
