jake, just because you cant read doesnt mean you should get angry at people looking to find good books.

though i should be nicer to you, it is your birthday.

I was nice. I gave a rec, and implied he might find more with the search function. I thought that was very helpful of me.

I'm going to not be playing poker for a few days and i figured I should read a real book for a change.

The last good book i read that i remember was 1984 by Orwell. I'm really not a big reader but I feel like a dope not reading anything of literary value in a while. I dont even know what type of stuff I like. Maybe a novel or maybe something informative, who knows. Suggestions would be appreciated.

Find yourself a thrift store(Goodwill,Salvation Army, whatever) near you and go there . They always have a used book section and they are cheap. You can buy several different books to read for little money. I have done this many times myself. Happy hunting.

The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks. That's just the sickest book I've ever read.

The Shipping News - Annie Prolux (I think) - also a movie, but the book is just as good/better

poker related - get the Stu Unger bio by Nolan Dalla - or the Professor/banker/suicide king book - sometimes to reinvigorate my poker game, I'll read those or Positively 5th St. - Nothing makes me wanna start playing great poker again like great poker stories.

The Illuminatus Trilogy by Robert Shea & Robert Anton Wilson

Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk (movie was good, book is better)

A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

Starship Troopers (Troupers) by Robert A. Heinlein (the only similarities to the movie were the title & names of the characters)

based on the title of your post, I recommend a spelling and grammar book.
