Dranx0 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 The Beach, by Alex Garland is an A- book. Do not watch the movie because it sucks! He wrote a few others, like The Tesseract. Very good story about three different scenarios colliding together in the Philippines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zardoz Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 System of the World by Neal Stephenson. Part three of the Baroque Cycle. It's a long ass read, but completely worth it. Historical fiction at it's finest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
