    Shantaram is absolutely brilliant, Power of One a classic.

    Just finished The Glass Castle which is worth a read, nothing amazing but a nice easy and entertaining read you can finish quickly.

    Another couple of quick fun reads when I was into true life crazy stories are 'Don't Tell Mum I Work on the Rigs...She Thinks I'm a Piano Player in a Whorehouse' and 'Marching Powder', there's also another I can't think of the title where an Australian writer leaves his family to get into a cartel to write about what goes on which is unbelievable.

    I alrdy had a biased and subjective retelling of history growing up called the US educational system in school. Don't need another one from selective victors of the middle east

    Besides subjectivity abounds right here on sbr with any and every game

    not the KJV with 7 books missing.

    For those of you that said the Bible... my question for you is... if Christianity was say... only 1/1000th as popular as it is today... in other words if the Bible was not a well known book and only a small percentage of the population were even aware of it... let's say only 1% of the population were even aware of the Bible, would it still be one of your favorite books(assuming that YOU would have still read it)? The content would be the same regardless of whether billions of people were aware of the bible or if only thousands of people were aware of the bible. If it was not a well known book... would it still be one of your favorites?

    If yes... I would love to hear some of your favorite passages.

    Yes and i have golf to watch today so im not goin to preach and put passages up all day because it would take way to much time and space. I get motivated by it everyday it has gotten me theu so much. Its pretty disguting for all the hate towards christians these days its really sick. Christians Help out so many people that without out them this world would be a even more of a mess then it is right now. Of course people will say look at that Christian Hypocrite the way he lives then wants to flaunt how hes a christian,well for everyone of those people there are 100 other christians who do the right thing. And in the Bible Jesus talks about those Hypocrites. Thats all if u want some Passages PM il send ya some later.Lets Go Tiger or Billy Horchel

    Favorite is hard to call, maybe "Fear And Loathing On The Campaign Trail 1972", politics from a distant age, yet it reminds me of the 2016 election. I read a couple a month, right now Im reading the "Killing Zone", by Fredrick Downs.

    later

    If I had to recommend only 1 book to the people on SBR I think it would be The Emperors New Clothes.

    I won't give any spoilers, but this book is about a family-man trying to navigate his way through a world where there are devils hiding around every corner.

    If you haven't read this book ...... it's a must!

    100 years of solitude -Marquez
    Cryptonomicon - Stephenson

    impossible to narrow down to one. Hard enough to make it two.

    the frontiersman. history channel made it into a series. Reading a book on aaron burr right now. This shit going on now is tame compared of the stuff going on then. Also did you know that they never had tickets for president and vice president in those days. But in 1800 jefferson and burr tied so they changed into the form we are now in.
