Going to the Bookstore..Give me your best




Topic started on 5-7-2008 @ 10:11 AM by Bachrk


I'm heading to the bookstore and I'm looking for a good book.
Any suggestions? I have recently read Hunt for the Skinwalker, The Brain The Owners Manual.

I like fiction and nonfiction, science topics as well. Love creepy stuff especially if it has some truth to it.

Help please

Thanks, Rachel

Ugh I think I posted this in the wrong forum as usual. Anyone in Memphis, TN area here?

Perverted Realities- it is a little scifi, horror, and fantasy, and a little humor thrown in for good measure. It is a short read, but I really liked it. Plus, I heard it is a series and the second series is coming out in the autumn.

Anyway- happy shopping.

Here are mostly new nonfiction titles with an ATS spin to them:

A nuclear family vacation: travels in the world of atomic weaponry (Hardcover, June 2008). By Sharon Weinberger and Nathan Hodge. The authors were recently interviewed about this book on C-span. Good interview.

My Guantanomo diary: the detainees and the stories they told me (Hardcover, June 2008). By Mahvish Khan. The author is a law student who worked with some of the detainees.

Top secret tourism: Your travel guide to germ warfare laboratories, clandestine aircraft bases and other places in the United States you're not supposed to know about. (Paperback, 2007) By Harry Helms.

The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes, and Why (Hardcover, June 2008). By Amanda Ripley. Why did New Orleans struggle to survive post-Katrina, yet Morgan Stanley saved its World Trade Center employees on 9-11? Why are some people immobilized by disaster while others know clearly how to respond? Ripley, a journalist, interviews many experts as well as disaster survivors and concludes that knowing how you will actually react under intense stress may be your key to survival in a major disaster.

The best book I have probably ever read was Aztec by Gary Jennings. ALL his books are good, but you absolutley cannot go wrong with this EPIC tale. Read this to really escape!
