Book Recommendations
I'm hoping that some of you guys can take this thread seriously and provide some recommendations for reading material.
I'm currently very interested in non fiction. I'll take any non fiction recommendations but I'd prefer to read books that are focused between the revolutionary war and WWII.
Please recommend fiction books as well.

Edited by Catty_Wampus22: 6/27/2016 9:57:49 AMI liked The politics of rich and poor (written during Reagan) Killing Hope - US military and CIA interventions since WWI (list of when we -blam!-ed around and helped overthrow counties in secret) Manufacturing Consent The COINTELPRO papers (some messed up shit our government and FBI did to stop dissent)

Edited by Prometheus31163: 6/27/2016 9:44:45 AMCompany aytch: a side show of the big show is a really good book about the Confederate army in the civil war. Different point of view than your usual war story. It's outside your period and technically fiction, but The Things They Carried is a fantastic war story Outside of that, some of my favorite books are Dune, Lord of the Rings, The Count of Monte Cristo, Dracula (if you can forgive the ending), and the Narnia series (those are 7 extremely well written philosophical books pretending to be children's books)

Tortilla Flat - John Steinbeck [spoiler]Drunken vagabond inherits two houses. Has King Arthur like adventures with friends. It's a book about friendship, it does not have a happy ending, it does have an overall good message.[/spoiler]

The weight brothers is pretty good. All about there lives and the events that lead up to the creation of their invention, it's also about how they tried to sell it to people. Really interesting book

1 ReplyBelgariad is the best series of books ever. Read the malloreon too, it follows on-but be warned that King Of The Murgos is [i]very[/i] bad. Don't give up, Demon Lord Of Karanda afterwards is much better. Seriously, all of them are good apart from the aforementioned King Of The Murgos.
