Your Top Five Favorite Books?

Koontz has a couple books about a guy who can't go into the sunlight that are good, don't remember the name of the books though. Seems I never have fricking time to read anymore.

Yes, I read both.....they were very good.

I loved When Pride Still Mattered!!!

I forgot to list that one, a great book. Every Packer fan should find time to read it, it provides some great insights into the 1960's and the Pack.

Maraniss third book (not great) "They marched into the Sunlight" has ties into the Lombardi book. Its about the UW-Madison campus, Viet Nam, and the Government. One of the Black Lions killed in October '67 was a star player for Lombardi when he was a coach at West Point. Both books show a different side to the events at the time.

Stephen Ambrose has written some great books about the soldiers in WWII.

If you're into detective stories with some supernatural elements; John Connolly has a series about a guy that sees dead people while investigating various murders. Be warned its pretty dark with some heavy religious content.

How is 100 Years of Solitude? I have taken it on the last two vacations with me and it's sitting on my "Must-Read" bookshelf, but I'm afraid I'm going to get so immersed that I will get nothing else done all day so I haven't cracked it yet.

Tyrone Bigguns, Jitterbug Perfume - Tom Robbins


Damn, it's been a long time since I thought about that book. It was really good from what I remember, think I'll read it again.

I move that Tank and T. Bigguns be forever banned from the forum for listing "Beowolf" and "Cantebury Tales" as favorite books. What a couple of liars. Damned liars, the worst kind. We left JSO to get away from such bullshit.

Hard to name favorites, but a few books I liked recently:

"Empire Falls"
"Catch 22"
"A Confederacy of Dunces"
"The Adventures of Augie March"
"Life of PI"

Was it the tiger or not?

Hey MJZiggy, how was Da Vinci Code?

[MJZiggy]

I thought it was a page turner. I read it on vacation and was accused of ignoring the whole family for a full day (it's true, but still, it was vacation). Everyone I've talked to who read it said they loved it as well.

[Badgepack]

OK, thanks.

Think I'll read the book before seeing the movie

Ziggy, I sorta lied, I haven't finished that book yet, but am really liking it.

It was excellent as was Angels and Demons...both outstanding. I also listened to Dan Browns other book, I forget the name but it was a very good thriller.

Hey Rastak,

OT here but,

Your a Queens fan right?

What did you think of signing Baskett, I really wanted him on the packers?

[MJZiggy]

Deception Point.

Also the Poisonwood Bible is very good.
