    scherzo, I don't think badly of you. Why, I hardly think of you at all.

    Sure. I'm probably #2 on your hate list.

    One of my favorites is The Anarchist's Cookbook. I have it next to my Bible.

    Intriguing location ... and the Bible is definitely a cookbook, just not for anarchists. It's best recipes are deep-roasting gay people and atheists.

    Maybe for some but my copies do not allow for that.

    It just goes to show that even a recipe book can be dangerous in the hands of maniacs. Burn them all ...

    I never really took it seriously. What's particularly useful in it, do you find?

    Catch 22.
    Funniest book ever written. The way everything turns in circles is incredible.

    Young American soldier: "Don't you know it's better to die on your feet than live on your knees?"
    Old Italian brothel owner: "You're so young. It's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees."

    The ragged trousered philanthropists
    The book that nearly started a revolution in trenches of WWI.
    It puts forth the argument for socialism and is a heart wrenching picture of the working classes in the early 20th century.

    Trinity
    I'm not sure why I love this book so much. Maybe because it clarifies the rift in Ireland to some extent. Maybe because the main character struck me as a true hero. I think it was the first book I ever read that ended in the way it ends.

    Foucault's pendulum
    Best ending I've ever read. And it's such a piss take on conspiracy theories it's classic.

    Lord of the rings
    Beautifully written and a must for every fantasy gamer in the whole wide world. The novel upon which most other fantasy novels are based and never bettered.

    Part one was excellent. Part 2 and 3 were utter rubbish, needless rehashing of the first story, long, boring, dull and not enticing enough to read any further.

    Man, there are few things in literature as beautiful as 'For whom the bells toll'.

    I was always partial to Hem's "The Sun Also Rises." His collection of short stories, "A Movable Feast," is one of my favorite books.
