You mean in my life? I can't count that high. If you mean this summer, none. (being busy sucks :Angry: )

Anyway, you should read Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy or LOTR (don't be fooled by the merchandise or sellout-ness of the movies; LOTR is THE BEST trilogy I've ever read).

Check out the series A Song of Ice and Fire, or Catch-22. Both are extremley good.

Recently? Huck Finn, To Kill a Mocking Bird, Life, The Universe, and Everything, Mostly Harmless, Unfinished Tales, and The Three Musketeers. This is within the past month... I'd estimate 2,000 pages or so.

A great fantasy series is the Wheel of Time

I'm on volume 5 now and they keep getting larger and larger. Up to volume 9 or ten now

I've been reading a lot of historical books lately. I'm currently reading Jg 26: Top Guns of the Luftwaffe, which will be followed by Luftwaffe Fighter Aces. I just finished reading The Terrible Hours and After : How America Confronted the September 12 Era.

Personally, if you want some really exciting reading, one of my favorite books is Chickenhawk, one of the best books written by a former Vietnam helicopter pilot I've ever read, and I've read about a dozen of 'em. I hope this helps.

..Dont start! Ive read so much my entire life it would be impossible to keep a record of it..

As have I... though I'd estimate ~200,000 pages total if I were to try and count... granted, I'm still young and have much more reading ahead.

Wheel of Time just sucks. The final three books so far are CRAP. RJ's in it for the cash.

Eye of the World was pretty good, I thought, but it didn't motivate me to keep reading the next book.

I just started Ender's Game. It's very good so far.

LOTR is my favorite series. It is a GREAT series. You should read the 12 book series on the history of the middle earth (by tolkien).

Post by **Dogbreath** » Tue Jul 22, 2003 10:45 am

As well as the Silmarion, the Hobbit, The Book of Lost Tales, and Unfinished tales.

The Book of Lost Tales was REALLY good. The hobbit was good and should be read before lotr , or anyway you want.

I'm reading Douglas Adams' "The Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul" right now. Funny stuff.

oh yes, that's a good book, JTA. i like the bit with the fighter plane.

try some of the articles on www.informit.com . they tell you all sorts of stuff about cracking, hacking, protecting your system, etc.

Try Starship Titanic by Douglas Adams. True, it is a computer game (and quite a good one at that... shows how multi-talented the author is) but it has so much irony and literature intwined that you'll love it. The game is a branch off of Life, The Universe, and Everthing (that chapter where they introduce the super-Xenophobic dudes) and it basically allows you to explore the HHGTTG universe in 3D... very entertaining.

This topic is probibly dead and rotting.

Don't diss Wheel of Time, though the last 2 books sucked...
No people, that list was just thi.. last summer (fall now).

In my life time is like 100,000+

My fastest reading time, in 1 book, was 2,000 pages in 13 hours. Both Wheel of Time, books 5 & 6.

I'm writing a 200 page book write now. It's never going to be published, but I got all these screwy ideas in my head. I have to write them down. It's about this spy and his UBER awosome Dodge Viper 2003 RT/10! He goes around like James Bond and stuff.
