Anyone read The Deadly Deception, Living with the Lama or The Peter Principle?  That Peter Principle is kicks on another level.  It's not funny per se, but it's about this guy's theorum that everyone has their own level of incompetence.  Good for a laugh.

PD, it will take me some time to find that book.  Time and patience.

Alright I luv books I jes ain't see dis thread.  Now the ender's saga thing is real bad, everworld is real bad, but if u want a truely awesome, bad, mad, dread, a best ting of a book u looking for d weel of time series, 8 in all very highly recommended. Perfect story line and writing, I only read the first one eye of the world but with a touch of luck the other's shall find themselves in my possesion. If u blind u will still want this book.Doh let me send Dura on alyuh tail, he real like dis.

Well rich, I did think take The Peter Priniciple seriously, but I just couldn't help laugh at how accurate he was in his theories.  Now that was a good read.

Allyuh want a dread book? try a classic:

Ivanhoe - Sir Walter Scott
Around the World in 80 days - Jules Verne
20,000 leagues under the sea - Jules Verne
The Man in the Iron Mask/ 3 musketeers - Alexander Dumas
Moby Dick - Herman Melville

The Narnia Series - CS lewis
The Land of Far beyond - CS lewis                    

[Imperial_X]

I thought Around the World in 80 days, 20,000 leages under the sea as well as The Man in the Iron Mask were wastes of my time.  That Moby Dick had a hook to it though.  lmao.                    

[perfectdrug]

i did 3 musketeers for a book report...
...and i hated it...                    

[androsovic]

I thought Around the World in 80 days, 20,000 leages under the sea as well as The Man in the Iron Mask were wastes of my time.  That Moby Dick had a hook to it though.  lmao.

U MAD OR WHAT!Thaz sum dred dred books.And why allyuh obesssing over Moby's *cough*cough*                    

[Imperial_X]

When reading those books, the feeling I got from them was very vague and it made me sick.  Nothing more than words on a page.

Don't even try to start that lame Moby Dick talk here.  You will be on the wrong side of a very bitter discourse.  Kcks or not, I advise you don't do that.

*runs off into the mountains and summons legions of Mord Sith and Warriors to protect her treasures*

i love that series to death! it is great!

i have the full narnia series in one huge book.

if ANYONE dares to raid MY bookshelf they will get KILLED.
hung drawn and quartered (is that right?)

however, if you are nice and i believe that it will not take too much out of me to part with my precious, precious treasures then i may be willing to lend you a book or two from my stash, whether for the first or second time.

fail to return anything and thou shalt feel the wrath of Amaya, The Dark Goddess.

oh yeah, i forgot to mention: dardura, "goddess' " or "goddess's" not "goddesses", that is the plural.
