Ender 8 Posted August 17, 2003 Stephen Ambrose wrote fantastic books about WWII... too bad he died. They may be a little harsh for liberals, though, since he gives reality a swift kick in the ass in his books, revealing what really happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Dk Blu 0 Posted August 17, 2003 The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood It's a novel within a novel within a novel. Literally... so you kinda gotta think and have a good memory for detail. I loved it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy 60 Posted August 19, 2003 The Silver Sword, by Ian Serraillier. It's based on a true story following the lives of a group of kids during and after WW2, as they move through Europe trying to find their family. I think... haven't read it in a long time, but it is really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheUnknown 39 Posted August 19, 2003 A Lesson Before Dying by Earnest Gaines is really good. 1984 by George Orwell and The Giver by Lois Lowery are good dystopian novels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ender 8 Posted August 19, 2003 Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden. It's about a Ranger/Delta Force team that was inserted into Mogadishu, Somalia to capture some hostages. It was supposed to take 30 minutes, but it turned into a 15-hour firefight in which 18 Americans died. It's a perfect example of the stupidity and selfishness of Bill Clinton and Les Aspin.

Andy 60 Posted August 19, 2003 Yup, 1984 is a good good book. So is "A Brave New World", by Aldous Huxley (sp?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chozen 1 Posted August 19, 2003 Oh so that?s how it is, huh? You don't mind acknowledging a book read by Unknown but you totally ignore my comment.. Huh? Don't want to be seen agreeing with someone who isn?t considered an intellectual unlike Unknown, huh? Just because I spell like Tarzan doesn?t mean I can?t read a book or two. Or is it the fact that I constantly misspell ?the? wrong??? :mad: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted August 20, 2003 i'm also a huge Shakespeare fan. Taming of the Shrew has got to be my favorite one so far. i was really upset when my english teacher told us we weren't reading any of dear ol' Billy's plays. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
