Re: Books and reading

Have any of you read 1984?

I'm pretty sure everyone on earth aside from you has read 1984. It's a great book, but don't be the guy who references it anytime the government does anything.

The Revolution: A Manifesto by Ron Paul.

I think every American should read that book.

Just curious, where do those of you that read a lot get your books from? Do you go somewhere like Barnes & Noble, Half Price Books, or just go to the library?

Re: Books and reading

I just bought used copies from Amazon of "Generation Kill" by Evan Wright and "Band Of Brothers : E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest" by Stephen E. Ambrose.

Band of Brothers is good. Another great book by Ambrose is "Undaunted Courage". It's all about the Lewis and Clark expedition, focusing mostly on Lewis and President Jefferson.

Re: Books and reading

Is there a certain translation you'd recommend? I'm a bit off from reading the Russian version and there's no Penguin Classics (my go to) version available. There's only one version on Amazon and was just checking before I purchase.

I just have the New York Review Books Classics edition and I thought it was well done. I would love to read it in Russian, but my Russian couldn't even get me through a childrens book.

Re: Books and reading

I don't like too many books, but my favorites are 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Animal Farm, Martian Chronicles, ect.

Basically, my favorite books were made during the middle of the 20th century and usually have a political meaning to them.

That's not to say I don't like any other books, but my favorites are all these sorts of book. I recently read Dead Heat by Joel C. Rosenburg and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

If I had to pick a favorite, though, it would be 1984. It's a must read IMO.

Re: Books and reading

Have any of you read 1984? I remember reading Animal Farm when I was in school and liked it so I thought I might pick it up and give it a go.

I haven't read 1984 but I loved Animal Farm. I found it in a class one day in high school and starting reading it instead of listening to the teacher.
