swnybillsfan Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 for a quick read you could go with "world war z" by max brooks. the book was incredible, and you can finish it really quickly. the movie was hot garbage and i have no idea why they took a great story and #### all over it like that.

I second "World War Z" - great book, awful movie. Would have been a much better HBO 10-part miniseries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swnybillsfan Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I second "World War Z" - great book, awful movie. Would have been a much better HBO 10-part miniseries. i loved reading that book. i have read it a few times and each time i think i found something new to enjoy that i may have missed before. and each time i read it i couldn't help but think...i would love for this to be adapted into a movie (and your idea for a cable tv series is even better). then the movie came out and i knew from the first preview i was going to hate it.

BringBackFergy Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Essentials of Supply Chain Management (Essentials Series) by Michael H. Hugos! Great read. Also try I.P. Daly's "The Yellow Stream" and "Long Slow Blow" by Craven Morehead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acantha Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I finally have some time to do some reading as I will have a three week vacation and two 24 hour flights to fill. I'm looking for pure escapism. Not really interested in anything non fiction. I like sci-fi, horror, and fantasy that doesn't suck (which unfortunately is too much of it). Hard to say what makes good fantasy for you, but there are 3 series I'm currently reading that I think are excellent (each has two books so far): The KingKiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfus Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson Raven's Shadow by Anthony Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Infinite Jest by D.F. Wallace What a crazy book, takes forever to read because you have to keep searching through that index in order to understand what the hell he's talking about sometimes. I got a few chapters in and basically quit. Maybe I'll start it back up at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
