Microwave Spectroscopy by CH Townes and AL Schawlow. No, Scarlet would not recommend it to anyone on MAP
I read it. IMHO it's a very good parody and much better than 'bored of the rings' it's still just a parody though- bits of it are just silly and unfunny and ultimately unoriginal.
The Invisible Man Going invisible (metaphorically of course) is always good in a fight. Oh and according to copyright laws in the US parody is always legal, how do you think all those shows and movies etc. get away with it? LIKE THE ENTIRE THUMBS SERIES!!! WOOO! Thumb Wars etc. etc. rocked... (movies though)
There's a very good LOTR parody on the internet, called The Diaries, not suitable for MAP though :Angel: I've reserved Barry Trotter.
I'm reading the godfather at the moment. Mario Puzo is a class writer. I haven't even seen the film! I look forward to watching it once I've read the novel.
The Sience of Martial Arts Training charles l. staley, MSS Has everything about training, broken down, yah id reccomend it, its interesting. 'Everybody poops' is a good book too.
Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan Very interesting, it goes back to the origins of life, as best known by science, and traces it to the present, and in the process explains why things are the way they are, why people behave the way they do, and a lot more that I've still got to read.
I've just read "Swahili for the Broken hearted" by Peter Moore (he is dumped by his girlfriend and so travels for 6 months from Cape Town to Cairo. Now I'm reading "Getting away with it" by Tim Southwell - the story of Loaded magazine. Loaded was/is aimed at "For men who should know better" but I first read it cos I liked the fun stuff (Dr Mick, rogues gallery, crisps world cup etc.) and hedonistic attitude they all had to life.
Just finished reading Tokyo by Mo Hayder. Excellent story of a london girl in modern day Japan, looking for a possible evidence of what the japanese did in Nanking (1937)
well iv just finsihed ''natural born fighters'' by craig goldman and im aobut to start ''the guv'nor''which is about lennie MClean a very hard man fir those who dont know.
Currently reading 'Good Omens' by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett also 'The Screwtape Letters' by C.S. Lewis Good combo, read a little about a demon uncle telling his nephew how to currupt his subject (Screwtape Letters) and then a humorous slant on the apocalypse with angels and demons (Good Omens)
Just finished The Fellowship of the Ring <flame bait> I'd read LOTR once before, in year 7, 4 years ago, didn't like it all that much then, and I didn't remember it much. I have to say that, while the book explained some things that weren't entirely clear in the movie, and had more detail, this was one of the few books where the movie was better than the book. </bait> Wonder what WW will say to that? :Angel:
