Cpl Ledanek Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Rainbow 6...introduction....finished it actually Red Rabbit...had to jug my memory on who's who in there...finished it about a yr ago...cheated on some part by listening to audio tracks...too many hard to pronounce name. History of Hell...on and off...can't sit down to finish it. Has interesting items on why everything is made up of seven: 7 gates of Hell, 7 deadly sins, 7 digits to a phone numer (excluding area code), 7 digits to bank accounts, making eye contact to a woman should consist of 7 seconds--anything after that is staring or goggling, reaction times should be less than 7 seconds, etc.. Survival guide to life and love funny read and Cracked by Dr. Drew Pinsky...Addiction specialist...his story actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osokdfgr Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 rainbow 6 looked at that a few times. Any good? whats the plot?(but don't give it away) It's about the formation of the fictional rainbow 6, quite interesting acctualy. oooh and the book keeps switching back to these two stories that keep a mystry element. however if you've played the first rainbow 6 game then you will know what one of the stories ends up being. (I think... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyovan4 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Redemption by Leon Uris Set against the dramatic backdrop of increased unrest in Ireland and a world about to be pitched headlong into the nightmare of the First World War, Redemption weaves together unforgettable new characters with those that readers came to know so well in Trinity: Liam Larkin, forced to emigrate from Ireland to New Zealand in 1895, has become a prosperous sheep baron; his oldest son, Rory, a seething "wild colonial boy," lives restlessly with a dark Larkin family secret and is haunted by the legend of his uncle, Conor Larkin, who was killed in an Irish Republican raid; and Atty Fitzpatrick, an aristocrat and Conor's last love turned member of the illegal Brotherhood. Here is a young Winston Churchill, destined to make a profound impact on Ireland, accompanying his father, Lord Randolph Churchill, to Ireland in the Protestant cause, rising to First Lord of the Admiralty and becoming chief architect of the Gallipoli catastrophe. Wealthy, beautiful Anglo industrialist Countess Caroline Weed Hubble, who has never overcome her unrequited love for Conor Larkin, weaves her way like a single thread through the lives of the Larkin family, ultimately using her influence with Churchill in a dangerous gambit. Black Angels by Rupert Butler next up will be Mila 18 by Uris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannik Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I'm on my fifth Terry Pratchett novel so far, this week. Going on a bit of a bonanza, with some Piers Anthony as a chaser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAWmonger Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 In The Company of Soldiers: A Chronicle of Combat Author is Rick Atkinson. Terrific read. "Atkinson actually learned he'd won the 2003 Pulitzer for An Army at Dawn, his history of the World War II North African campaign, while he was eating dust in the push toward Baghdad. So you'd expect this new volume, In the Company of Soldiers: A Chronicle of Combat, would be the most intimate, vivid and well-informed account yet published of those major combat operations that President Bush declared at an end on May 1. And it is." --New York Times Book Review He was embedded with the 101st Airborne and spent the time following Maj. Gen. Petraeus and the command staff. There are a couple of good accounts of the fighting in Najaf and Hilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swartsz Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 currently i am reading Avenger by Frederick Forsyth. Not as good as some of his earlier work but a great book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack57 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Some nice reading ideas there that I must look into. One book I would highly recommend around here is "Rogue Warrior of the SAS - The Blair Mayne Legend" by Martin Dillon and Ray Bradford. ISBN 1 84018 723 9 - to call this book fascinating would be to damn it with faint praise. It describes the very, very beginning of the SAS, including their very first raid in North Africa, and goes on to describe many of their exploits through WW II which will leave you agape The original hardcover is hard to find (and expensive), although you may come across it in your local library if you're lucky. You can find it online in paperback, new for about $20. Jack ps: The Feather Men is also a stonking good read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteKnight77 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I just got Battle Ready by TC, but haven't been able to start it yet and started Stephen Coonts Deep Black about 6 months ago, but hadn't read much since. I wonder if that is because I got my internet connection reconnected?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
