Good books to read...?

[Hieronymus]

Mark Frosts 'The List of 7' and 'The 6 messiahs'. Very good and quick read. I'm also plowing through Arthur C. Clarkes 'Greetings, Carbon-Based Bipeds', quite the interesting collection of all his prophetic non ficion writings.

Man Some great stuff mentionned here. Herbert and Lovecraft are Gods to me.

Anybody read some Brendan Behan? I only read two of his books(Confessions of an Irish Rebel and B. Behan`s New York). That guy had quite an interesting life and I am sure he would have fit right in posting here on this board.

Oh and if you gonna go far out pick up Mao Ze Dong's "On Guerrilla Warfare". He could teach you Montana militia types a thing or two : ) .

Sci-fi guess what Isaac Asimov is not the master.

an excellent sci-fi author is stanislav lem read anything from him but I recomment SOLARIS.

another good novel is THE MAGUS by john fowles.


and in the contemporary japanese authors I forgott KOBE ABE.

He is just excellent is like a japanese kafka lets say.
