smoke Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hunter was a real piece of work. The type of dude that would take a handful of pills from a stranger, swallow them and then ask what they were. 2 Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I sold most of my fantasy first editions to down size when we moved a year and a half ago. I decided fist editions weren't worth enough to hang on to seeing I had most of what I wanted. So now I collect signed first editions. 3 shelves worth in this pic are now gone. Currently reading nothing Current favorite author is Patrick Rothfuss. If you like fantasy read him. Other favs Raymond Feist-riftwar Katharine Kerr-deverry series Robert Jordan-wheel of time Mickey zucker reichert Terry Goodkind-sword of truth. "Wizards first rule is people are stupid" Tad williams-Memory sorrow and thorn trilogy Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Being a huge Randy Rhoads fan I read Rudy Sarzo- Off the rails and Bob Daisly-For facts sake. If your a old school metal head these are a must. Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Hunter was a real piece of work. The type of dude that would take a handful of pills from a stranger, swallow them and then ask what they were. Never read his stuff until recently. I was a bit caught off guard by how funny it is. "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" was a surprisingly entertaining read. His motorcycle magazine reviews in the years before his death were a riot. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Dude...seriously do. It will probably fuck you up a little at first. This book is awesome so far. Thanks for the referral :thumbup: To answer your question about American Heroes: Profiles of Men and Women Who Shaped Early America. It is a brief study of early New England really and a nice intro into the Howard Zinn book as it doesn't gloss over the bad side of shit. Love me some Hunter. He has a knack for wacky shit. :D Bill Murray playing the part. :lol: Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Yeah, I read it again the other day. If there is anything at all going on while I am reading something, there is a lot of it that really won't soak in, so reading something a second time will make me really get it. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think I will read Hyperion next. I will give you a hint I am reading the Top 50 Sci-Fi books per this list http://scifilists.sffjazz.com/lists_books_rank1.html Have read about 40% of those and they are true science fiction not that fantasy 'stuff' that gluts the book store shelves once you throw out the endless Star Trek, Star Wars crap. Anything by Philip K Dick the biggest mind fucker ever. Niven for creating a whole universe to play in ... Clark was the first Si-Fi I ever read back in the early '60s. Eventually found a copy of Childhoods End!!! The Dune trilogy but forget anything by Brian Herbert. Quote Link to comment
