+1 respect.

I've since moved on to more "fulfilling" fantasy but, this entire author's works were amazing.

My favorite series by far is Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth. It is fucking amazing.

I don't read fiction, but I delve on occasion.

http://ddickerson.igc.org/protocols_english.gif

This was a fascinating one, even if you take it for fiction. In a nutshell it tells you how to take over the world. I only skimmed through it but can see the controversy it has caused, not because of racial matters but because of the wealth of internal information disseminated to the low level peons.

Here's my thread contribution:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/Communist-manifesto.png/387px-Communist-manifesto.png

Had to read it (translated obv) for a philosophy class. Marx tells you how to take absolute power by stealth and rule with the iron fist. But you argue that communism is truly a classless stateless society? Then why is it responsible for more systematic state murders than any other form of governance? (watch someone get uppity and say there's never been true communism [iagree, impossible] & wut about theocracy and the crusades/inquisition)


Also basically everything written by Tarpley has changed my life.

The Protocols are interesting in the same way Might is Right, The Anarchist Cookbook and anything by Ayn Rand are interesting: that anyone could actually believe such utter nonsense.

xenocide was a piece of shit


i liked the first one in the series


love the george rr martin series though.. think its my favorite fantasy series


although forgotten realms and dragon lance were pretty good if not made for children heh.



heres a good bit of scifi fantasy here


http://i39.tinypic.com/nxoc0.jpg


fuck and just seen since i thought of the book looks like they are turning it into a film.. they always turn books i like into crappy films >_<

[Truth]

The Protocols are interesting in the same way Might is Right, The Anarchist Cookbook and anything by Ayn Rand are interesting: that anyone could actually believe such utter nonsense.

It was definitely written by a major bigot but was still good in that has a lot of truthiness to it though.

also ayn rand awful, anarchist cookbook just trolly

I wanted to like ayn rand because i like some of the ideas of anarchy.. but i just couldn't bring myself to like the pieces of shit she writes.

ps fuck john galt




another fantasy series i'd strongly suggest avoiding is Terry Goodkind's series

I absolutely loved the first novel and had high hopes for the series but by the time i hit the sixth novel it had lost its mojo.

the 7~9th books were utter trash... thats where i stopped reading then i heard they turned it into some trashy made for tv movie lol


I think he just used the series to live out his rape fantasies... it would have been great if he had wrapped up the series instead of letting it spiral out of control... now he died and his son is going to finish it from what i hear.

[Harrison]

Lol you just described Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan, not Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind.

Fixed that for you :P

yah wheel of time was bad also

but not quite as bad as terry goodkind imo lol


both had good starts... shitty middles.. then /rage ends


you are right tho i just checked guess goodkind is still alive.. great.. let the shitty sequels continue.

If you're looking for truthiness in regards to power, I recommend this:

that one was short and to the point..

a short read and still remarkably relevant for today.

Odd, a friend of mine just read this and keeps talking about it.

For a real response, no book has affected me emotionally and "immersed" me like:

http://moviecultists.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/house-of-leaves.jpg

And then this book:

http://schoolworkhelper.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Hermann-Hesse-Siddhartha.jpg

Really piqued my interest in Buddhism and caused me to read:

http://blog.mattmecham.com/wp-content/uploads/The_Art_of_Happiness.jpg

And other books by/with the Dalai Lama, which really changed my outlook on life.

[muttonchops]

Haven't sat down and read Siddhartha, but been meaning to. From what I've gleaned from others who've read it, it's not too different from The Dharma Bums...

http://www.looksandbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/dharma-bums.jpg

..which for me is 2nd only to Down and Out in Paris and London.

FYI Ayn Rand died in 1982, clearly her works were meant for a different time and generation.

Sort of... foolish, to critique her.

Awesome book.

Can't think of my favorite off the top of my head but Brave New World is timeless.

Hmmm... Not sure what to read next?~
