Best Book Ever?

[lakecountrydave]

Rock & Roll Ghost Stories! I literally love the author. It is my wife's first book, and it comes out this October from Charles River Press.

My second favorite book would be Catcher in the Rye. While my second favorite author is H.S. Thompson.

Haven't had a chance to really sit down and read. But yup, I have skimmed and I'm gonna get into it.

Get that spagetti figured out yet Bob?

Yea, you take a fork and a spoon ...Was not to bad, had to look at some pics I had of those headers to figure it out realy, had to paint them they were to far gone to shine back up, but they are still good and solid, had them on the bike but I think i am going to take the baffels out of them, did not like the sound of them, sounded to much like the stock ones, I like loud , i wana here that motor sound like a car on a circle dirt track,

Ah, so many books, so many choices....

Non-fiction, I'd have to say 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintainance' by Robert Pirsig is among my favs, although 'The First Coming' by Thomas Sheehan and 'The Trial of Socrates' by I.F. Stone rank up there too.

Fiction, the nod goes to 'Tia-pan' by James Clavell, with a close second being 'The Moon is a Harsh Mistress' by Robert Heinlein. Gore Vidal is always entertaining too.

How about your 'if you could only have one' favorite album? 'Live Dead' is the hands-down choice there for me; nothing brings back my youth better than that...

What's the best book you've ever read, and why?

Hi Joe,
book as in novel? It has to be J.R.R.Tolkein's Lord of the Rings. The good guys win, the bad guys perish and all written in superb English with nary a bad word in it.

Debbie doe's Dal..... no, wait, were talking books arent we. Hmmm let me see... The Adventures of Fanny Hi.... Nah, maybe not appropriate.... The Karma Sutr.... hmmm, maybe too explicit for our younger viewers, oops, readers. Oh, I know, The Lord of the Rings. Covers both readers and viewers.

Seriously though, I read this years ago as a High School assignment (and hated it) but it wasnt till Peter Jackson worked his magic that it made sense. The movies impressed my kids that much that they went and read all the books after seeing the movies. Now that impressed me, and those books rank right up there on my list of favourites.

The Bible, "The God Who Is There" by Frances Schaeffer, "The Divine Conspiracy" by Dallas Willard, "Mere Christianity" by C. S. Lewis, Allan Eckert, Terry C. Johnston, Mari Sandoz, Tom Clancy, Dale Brown, Bob Jones, titles and authors of great books. "Proficient Motorcycling" was a good one too, can't think of the author's name right now.
