Battle of the Bulge, because of the movie LOL, even though it had almost nothing to do with the historical Battle of the Bulge.
What is your favorite book and why?

Pale Fire 8)

what do you think is better 1984 or animal farm?
-
enjoyed Animal Farm better.
also it showed more insight into the human consciousness. 1984 less so. -
ya I think I like animal farm better too
-
i like “brave new world”…
it depicts a future that could well happen some day… if you don’t take the words, but the ideas behind it…
-
I don’t see why Animal Farm is that good… :-?
Brave New World is very good book. 8)
-
I like Animal farm because anyone can enjoy it, from a 6 year old to a 80 year old.
Brave New World, good book. Holy Ford!

“The Hot Zone” - True to life horror about ebola and its ilk.
“The Art of War” - 'nough said.
-

Woops, that was me. :wink:

Both interesting books. If you like “The Hot Zone”, then make sure you read Invisible Invaders by Peter Radetsky (i think the subtitle is “the scientists who persue them”).
The art of war is a good read, however not as a novel. Kind of goes down like a book of quotations. If you’re into sales (which is one reason this book gets read a lot) - Steven Covey is another classic read.
Loved Alan Hobson. One of the most bittersweet texts i’ve read in the same genre as he is “Into Thin Air”.- these are not my favorites - i don’t have one, unless its the LOTR trilogy . . . .

Sounds interesting. I’ll look for it, thanks! I find catagious disease to be a very interesting topic.

@TG:
eh, that book was so-so… :-?
why dont you like animal farm!?
-
The story is too simplistic, too predictable, too boring… :-?
-
And what is that; animal farm ?
-
of course it is TG. That’s like saying “Moby Dick” is predictible, or “Twelth Night”, or just about any ground breaking novel that has since become a cliche, especially one that is so allegorical and insightful.
The earliest commedians to point out the male/female remote dichotomy were recognised as brilliant. Those who do today are hacks. -
Hannity ran for governor. LOL
