some already know I love reading.

Any interesting book you like to recommend?

At the moment I read a biography of Mary, queen of Scots...

I love travel books, the more extreme the better, so anything by Redmond O'Hanlon is usually a great read. He's a crazy guy from Oxford who visits the most hostile natural places on earth and tries to explore like someone back in the 1800's used to. Congo Journey is a good example, and worth buying.

John King writes some good stuff too, though it's usually a very "English" read. I just finished "White Trash" by him, and it's on par with the others "Football Factory", etc.

If you want to be put off sex for life, try anything by Peter Sotos. He writes about sex exclusively, but seems to hate it with a deep passion. He's almost a DeSade for the modern age. Brutal stuff.

Anything by Stephen Hawking
Astronomy/Astro physics
Tattoo History
Anything by or about Jack Herer
Groundbreaking physics/gadgets
Stephen King
J.R.R.Tolkien (obviously )

I don't think he would put me off, but he might makes me angry...

@ Lee, what do you think of the books Bruce Dickinson wrote?
Well, if you read them...

 

[Morgana]

Reading a book called sins Of the church, it's mainly about the "witch" burnings here in Germany.
The Weserbergland, known as the "fairy tale" area, have had the last burnings about 150 years ago...

 

[Gaunerin]

only 150 years?

I'm currently reading yet another book about Sweden
(hehehe......soon everybody on UM knows )
