Footrot Flats.
1 of my all time favourite comic books.
Asterix and Obelix.
A good read if you’re into ancient european style comic books.
UNi
A magazine for unicyclists.
Riding a unicycle.
A must have if you want to ride a unicycle.
Lol Harry, I think he’s looking for novels…
Ohhh… okili dokili then. 
Okay, now I can answer this question. I wanted to finish the book before seeing the movie. I just did both.
I absolutely hated every minute of the movie. Yet I loved every page of the book. The movie and the book very loosely parallel each other in the major events (although the movie made significant changes), but they are two VERY different stories. The movie glossed over so much in order to stay focused on action. All the complexity and character development was removed. I didn’t like any of the characters in the movie, especially Brom, who was my favorite character in the book. In the book, the characters didn’t always know what was going on or what to do next. In the movie, that was replaced with absolute certainty expressed in corny dialog. Who is Brom? Can Murtagh be trusted? Who is Arya? Should they really go to the Varden? All that uncertainty was absent from the movie, leaving it formulaic, over-simplified, and hollow.
The political interplay between the humans, the elves, and the dwarves was totally absent. I don’t even recall mention of elves or dwarves. In fact, a major character (no spoilers here) was portrayed as human in the movie instead of being an elf as in the book.
All in all, the movie destroyed a great story. Normally I’m very forgiving when watching a movie – I want to enjoy it and I overlook many flaws. But this movie just plain sucked. Don’t judge this great book by the movie. Read the book. You won’t be sorry.
I wish they would make a ASoIaF movie…even though it would probably suck, I’d love to see someone try. They’d have to censor a LOT of it, though.

I am completely in love with this series. I highly recommend it.
I was thinking the same thing… 
Hopefully if they ever did they wouldn’t butcher it like how Eragon got butchered. Decent book but the movie was one of the worst things I’d ever seen.
I think I read somewhere that HBO has the rights to make a show about it. I wouldn’t mind that, they wouldn’t have to censor much if it was on HBO.
Someone is working on a list of potential actors if it were to be a movie, though. I like a lot of his choices.
Oh look at that, the link to the article is right there, lol.

Endurance by Alfred Lansing. It is an amazing tale of survival. A thrilling read. I just finished reading if for the second time and I highly recommend it.
I have read the entire (so far) Inheritance cycle (Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr) and have been thoroughly impressed.
I once met Orson Scott Card and have a photograph somewhere of me and him together.
I really enjoy a lot of John Steinbeck’s work, incliuding Cannery Row, Sweet Thursday, and Tortilla Flats.
Jack Kerouac.
Between Silk and Cyanide by Leo Marks is an excellent (non-fiction, biography) book about the coding systems in use during WWII. A real page-turner, and long enough as it is, but leaving you wanting more when you’re done with all 800 or so pages.
Rain of Gold and Thirteen Senses by Victor Villasenor are both excellent books.
The Making of a Chef, The Soul of a Chef, non-fiction about cooking professionally.
Any of Anthony Bourdain’s books.
The Elements of Style, AKA Strunk & White, by William Strunk Junior. Not a fun read, but something that was REQUIRED when I was in high school.
Anything by Ruth Reichl.
The Lord of the Rings (and The Hobbit).
The Chronicles of Narnia.
I could go on for days… but I won’t
Good luck, I hope you have a library card.

Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell is an amazing non-fiction story about how one Navy SEAL survived in Afghanistan after his entire squad was killed by an enormous taliban attack. The storytelling is amazing, and the heroism shown by the SEALs who didn’t make it is simply stunning. This book is definitely one of my top few.
Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis
It’s a great read, very revealing about a lot of stuff.
This guy knows what he’s talking about. I’m on my first re-read now, onto the 3rd book and it’s seriously even better the second time. I can foresee many re-reads in the future.
Brave New World is pretty cool though I only liked the last couple of chapters.
Men are from mars, women are from venus is an waesome book!!!
If somone could reccomend some books on theology, science, mechanics, mathematics, writing, or anything else interesting it would be much appreciated.
Despite your lengthy list of books, it seems you’ve missed an important one.

Shackleton’s 1914 Endurance expedition is one of my all-time favourite ‘We’re-in-the-sh*t,-now-how-do-we-get-out-of-it?’ survival stories.
Incredible photographs exist too.
