Nasa Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 If you’re into science fiction, I recommend Sum by David Eagleman. It’s a collection of short stories (more like vignettes), each of which presents a different conception of the afterlife. It’s a quick read and also fun and thought-provoking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thibaut182 Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 I definitely recommend those two books below (especially if the 90s Britpop scene is your jam!) : "Lunch With The Wild Frontiers" by Phill Savidge (from the point of view from a music publicist that worked with The Verve, Elastica, Suede, Pulp amongst other bands). Oasis The Truth by Tony McCarroll (who was the original drummer of Oasis and the drummer on "Definitely Maybe" who gives an insight on the beggining and early days of the band up until him being fired of the band). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read it yet, but I'm sure it's right up our alley, Thibaut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedo Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 I started The Game of Thrones books, finished the first one a few days ago and working on the second now. In case anyone is wondering, Bran sucks in the books as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thibaut182 Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 If you're a massive fan of MTV and when they used to play music videos, I definitely recommend this book : I Want My MTV by Craig Marks and Mark Tannenbaum It is a very long book (more than 600 pages) but it focuses on the rise of the channel and puts a spotlight on a ton of music videos (the book focuses on the period from 1981 to 1992). There are more than 400 people that were interviewed for this book (including artists, music video directors and staff that worked at MTV).

Worst poster here Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Reading the Fall of Hyperion. The first novel was the best sci-fi novel I’ve ever read, this one is still great but not quite on that level. Excited to see what Bradley Cooper will do with this movie adaption.

Speedo Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Game of Thrones books are still in the process of being read by me … I made the mistake of buying the Kindle collection and it just lumps all the books together. I believe I’m on book 4 now but I’d be lying if I said I was sure about that. It’s a good read but, god damn, they go on and on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then knowing he will never finish it.. You read all those books, get super into it, and by the time you finish Martin will either die or enough time will pass that you forget everything you read.
