Journey to Ixtlan was my favorite. They got really flakey afterwards, I'm pretty sure Carlos Castaneda is a total fraud now. But those first 4 books were really cool, even if they are fictional. |

Do yourselves a favor and check out this book:
"Ordinary Courage" by Joseph Plumb Martin. It is an autobiography written by a Revolutionary Soldier. The only account of that war that was ever told through the mouth of an ordinary soldier. That book will show you what those men went through. It honestly changed my life. P.s. It is very short (<200 pages). You can pick it up here [url]http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1881089126/qid=1028255686/sr=8-3/ref=sr_8_3/103-4264693-4523809[/url] TRUST ME...BUY IT..GO GO GO! |

Reading is for smart people isn't it? I walked into a building once to use look for a public bathroom. They had a lot of books there. They called it a liberal or library or something like that. I think it's Latin for book warehouse.

I'm going to disagree with Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series.
It starts out great. Up until around the 5th book it's got some momentum and interesting stuff is happening, but the detail is starting to get kind of excessive and Rand's insanity and polygamy is offensive. I also don't like the fact that Jordan won't keep a bad guy dead. I really lost interest after about book seven and will not buy another until the greedy bugger gets around to finishing the series. That's the one thing you can say about David Eddings, he knows how to close out a story line and give you and ending. He's not terribly original, but he entertains well. Jordon lost track of teh story arc and is sitting on a big long plateau where the story seemed to stop advancing for a while, it just sort of circled around for a while. Tolkien on the other hand was a literary genius. The Lord of the Rings is just the tip of that particular iceberg. The back story behind it, all the mythology and history that was never really addressed in LOTR is incredibly rich. Feist's Riftwar stuff is pretty good as well. For non-fiction, I strongly recommend General John R. Galvin's "The Minute Men; The first fight: myths and realities of the American Revolution" AUSA books, ISBN 1-57488-049-7 An excellent study of the development of the minute men and their role in the battles of Lexington and Concord. |

If you like historical fiction, try "The King's Coat" by Dewey Lambdin. ( ISBN: 0-449-00360-4)PB
For a fun read, "The Burning City" by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. ( ISBN: 0-671-03660-2)HC I have to agree with Icemanat95 on the WOT series. However, there is finally some progress in "Winter's Heart" ( ISBN: 0-312-86425-6)HC |
