Ive been reading some good books lately and want the trend to continue. So please if you know of a good one please post it here.

The ones if finished reading are;

Enders Game

Rainbow 6

The song of Ice and Fire

Hitchhickers Guide

To name a few. So Im looking for books along that genre

Please dont post books that will make you sound smart - but are a crappy read.

On a serious note, I highly recommend "Playing for Pizza," by John Grisham. It's perfect for any football fan, or lover of Italian culture. It's also eerily appropriate for any Panthers fan right now.

It's about a quarterback who implodes so badly during a game that the only team that will take him is a minor league team in Italy (see what I mean about it being appropriate for Panthers fans?). A great, breezy read. Makes me hungry when I read it.

After reading Tucker Max's "I hope they serve beer in H*ll" and actually enoying, I punished myself by jabbing a spork in my eye socket and will be unable to read books for another 7 months which is when the scabs are supposed to fall off.

Go see the movie, if you like that, you'll have to deafen yourself for the next month.

Enders Game and the Hitchhikers Guide are absolute must reads. I have reread both books many times.

Life of Pi-Yann Martel

Stiff-Mary Roach

Mine-Robert R McCannon

The Stand-Stephen King

and for the women, The Red Tent-Anita Diamont

I am also hopelessly enslaved by The Southren Vampire series, True Bloood, I can help it.

Read Life of Pie - it was one of those boooks that I would typically never have read b/c of the most part I thought it was boring. but after I finished the book I found it was one of the best I ever read!

The best books I ever read are mostly still the classics - Swiss Family Robinson, Treasure Island, Count of Monte Cristo, etc. If you like that stuff along with funkier fare like sci-fi, pick up The Stars My Destination. Amazing and fast paced. Also, if you're a military/history buff like me, you'll enjoy Once an Eagle, by Anton Myrer. Follows the rise of a soldier through the US Army from WWI to Korea.

I can't read

but when I used to, I liked to read books like Ludlum...the Bourne series was good....anyone got anything along those lines that I should read? I need to start again!

Pick up something by Stephen Hunter. Black Light, second Saladin either will do. Bob Lee Swagger is a pure badass

      Chiefs vs Panthers

      By strato · Posted

      For the silly people that worship her it will be that.  The Coleman 'legend' thing, they did that with another fairly average player that was here and I sort of mocked or questioned the 'legend' status. Instantly caught crap for insulting someone's favorite Panther. So okay, Kurt Coleman is a Legend.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      You allow him to compete--you all are talking as if I am proposing making him the starter. Give him a new coach, new weapons, good OL, etc. and see what happens. You are saying, "Well Damn.  It did not work for 3 guys..."  Right now, our C is injured, we lost our top 2 WRs.  Better question:  If you need a QB, Why would you not take a chance on bringing in a QB who was a former first rounder, a good arm, intelligence, mobility, youth, etc.  and see how he does out of NY--with a better OL, better running game, better receivers.  I am not saying give him a 10-year contract, I am saying give him a chance. You act like there is no improvement on offense here--it was a 2 year process, and next year is year 2.  To me, how can you sit there with Bryce and an opportunity to sign a veteran QB on the cheap comes available and you say--"Not us. We're good.  We are waiting for Patrick Mahommes."  Jone's problem is obviously mental--and he has little support.  Why is this so frigging hard to comprehend.  It is called "bottom fishing" and it is better than sitting in the boat.

      Predictions for Brooks debut

      I think we're going to fall from behind quite early and be forced to abandon the run game.  3 rushes -2 yards 1 catch -10 yards
