    Re: Official OS Book Club

    Have anybody read A Clockwork Orange? I read it in senior year of highschool and have been thinking of reading it again. I really enjoyed that book.

      One of my favorite movies ever and regretably I have never read the text...I MUST do that.

      Right now I'm reading Cell by Stephen King, really makes me think of Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later. I'm also reading The Things They Carried for my Reading class book club.

      Just finished Fast Food Nation and ordered The Marvel Encyclopedia, can't get enough of the Marvel universe.

        Cell and The Things They Carried are both very good books, in my opinion.

          I just finish reading "The Brothers Bulger" by Howie Carr. It really gives you an inside look of Whitey and Billy.

          Probably going to read next Eddie Mackenzie "Street Soldier: My Life as an Enforcer for Whitey Bulger and the Irish Mob"

            Currently reading Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk. It's one of the most disturbing books I've read, and that alone makes it worthwhile.

            Palahniuk is a unique writer that doesn't pull any punches. Choke and Survivor are also well worth reading.

              I'm currently reading the Halo trilogy
              http://www.amazon.com/Books-Flood-Fi...3626590&sr=8-2

              Pretty good series of books and pretty good for a series of books based on video games. I'd also recommend the Splinter Cell Series as well by David Michaels (aka Raymond Benson) They're pretty good as well.

                Just picked up "Allegiance" by Timothy Zahn. So far so good.

                  "King Dork" by Frank Portman is an excellent popcorn book, with everything (drugs, sex, murder, mystery, rock and roll).

                  Also, if there is someone out there who hasn't read "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams, do yourself a favor and read it. It's hilarious!

                    There are actually four Halo books, now.

                    Fall of Reach, The Flood, First Strike and Ghosts of Onyx.

                    Ghosts is pretty new. I read it this Christmas.

                      I just finished The Terror by Dan Simmons. It's something of a horror story about an actual ill-fated attempt at finding the northwest passage.
                      http://www.amazon.com/Terror-Novel-D...3639997&sr=8-1

                      It's one of those books that does an unbelievable job of making you cold and depressed while reading it, but yet you continue because the story is that good. I particularly enjoyed it because Simmons works his story within the known historical facts.

                        Anyone ever read Stephen King's Dark Tower series? Seems like something I would be interested in although it is quite an investment.

                          Anyone read Richard Dawkin's book, "The God delusion"?

                          I am interested in picking it up.

                            I just finished the Bourne trilogy. The fourth of the series, The Bourne Legacy, is by a different writer, so I'm not too terribly interested in picking it up...

                            I think I'm going to start reading the Hannibal series.

                              I am just about finished with The Bourne Identity and i really enjoy these books. I wish the movies would have sticked to the storyline that the book covered.

                                I just finished reading Clark Gable: A biography (real creative title eh?) It was a very paint by numbers book with a lot of gossipy stuff but the writing style was like watching paint dry.

                                I'm very interested in picking up famed lawyer Vincent Bugliosi's book on the JFK Assasination. He believes in the lone gunman theory but the damn book is 1,652 pages. It'll literally take me YEARS to finish reading it.
