If you had to sum up a book that had either an emotional or life changing or just rearranged your thought patterns what would it be.

mine is "I am David" I read it when I was eleven and it diminshed my innosence of the world but opened my eyes to it's marvels of it at the same time.

As an adult I'm still deciding

War by Gwynne Dyer.

The history of War and it's effects -or lack of- upon humanity and civilisation. Until I read that book I though wars sorted problems out between countries and political idealisms, but that book tought me differently.

i really do not know if anyone will understand this, but my book is Alice in wonderland.
has anyone reread it as an adult? if so you may see what i have if not


Oh, the tangled webs we weave When we practice to deceive. by Sir Walter Scott.

I did, several years ago when i was playing an AD+D senario based on alice in wonderland, it recommended reading the book before playing the game so i did. Was rather different reading it as an adult, it was so much darker. Now i dont know if that was because as a kid i didn't understand the darker elements or it was just that i chose to ignore them, but it was a different read as an adult.

The Holy Bible - because it tells us how to get to Heaven and avoid Hell when we die.

I give up, Bob.

You have done more harm to Christianity than someone who hates it.

Oh dear, we are losing it aren't we; repent or perish, turn or burn.

You would say that because you are not even saved.

Bob

How were you "saved," Bob?

When were you "saved," Bob?

well zoroaster is right bob, nutters like you give religion a bad name. stick to the religion section where people may want to listen to your ravings, spread your crap across the board and you will only do your cause more harm than good.

may i ask what church you follow, as i only know of two each preach to all, the way you have done,

Hi Bob, welcome to BUKF, I wouldn't worry about your posts being deleted,

you seem to say the same thing in each one anyway.

I will have to get another book 'cos I've coloured my last one in.

I read in a magazine today that 1 out of every 5 people in the world is Chinese.

So I worked out, because there are 5 people in my family, then one of us must

be Chinese. I'm prety sure it's not Me or my mum and dad. I've got an older brother named

Colin and a younger one called Sum Wan Lee. I think it's Colin.

I was surprised I could read the article, it was written in Chinese My powers seem to improve after a few brandy's.

Jane Eyre.

Sorry if this isn't appropriate, but I would have to say the 'Kama Sutra.' It's very forthcoming with ideas for the art of love making I love books that you can get your teeth into

dependent on gender.i dont have a problem with grabbing a copy and we could have a book club where we both sit down and discuss are favourite bits.
im very flexible,with times and positions.

the best one for me was, " DAY of TRINITY ", THE TRUE STORY OF THE MAKING of THE ATOM BOMB.
from the time that the team was assembled, the construction begun, to the final exploding.......bomb.

"Kiss the boys goodbye" an investigative report about how the american government covered up the true extent of the men they left behind alive in Vietnam. Nasty and unpleasant but shows the true nature of politicians.
Fiction wise, Gorky Park, brilliant and the sequels are good too.

Either 1984 or the "The Time Machine", by Orwell and H..Wells respectively.

Urban Grimshaw and the Shed Crew

STALIN - COURT OF THE RED TSAR by Simon Sebag Montefiore

I've read so many books it hard to say what is my best book is; I've enjoyed 1984, Dean Koontz's books, Crime and Punishment, Minette Walters' books, Nikki French's books, Wild Swans, Political books, True life crime books, The Dark Materials P. Pullman and many more.



Brilliant books.




I read Alice a couple of years ago.

Any of Lee Child's Jack Reacher thrillers
