What BOOK have you read more than five times ..?

[Tex]

More than five times? Hmmm, not many as I always figure I could be reading something new! A couple that I have returned to a few times are:

'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' - Hunter S Thompson
'1984' - George Orwell

One that I read recently and know I will read again:

'The Road' - Cormac McCarthy

Tex

[Lozza]

"Two Stroke Performance Tuning" by A Graham Bell, read it at least 10 times and still refernce bits now and again.

 *The Great Shark Hunt and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas....Hunter.S.Thompson...The man may have been a certified nutter but man oh man could he write.
* John Hepworth...his book......John Hepworth. A compilation of Hepworths columns from the lefty weekly, Nation Review from the seventies. Hilarious.
*The Book of Rock Lists.....Dave Marsh. Rock music bible
*The Peoples Doonesbury....Gary Trudeau Political and social observations in cartoon form. Every time I read it I find somethin I'd previously missed.
*Animal Farm...George Orwell..... A classic that almost got it right.
*The Big Leap...Frank Melling....The best book written on motocross in it's transition period in the early to mid seventies.

Personally I've never read any book more than once, we agree Graeme, except for a service manual.
Jerry, the Robert G Barrett / Les Norton books are a good laugh and make reference to a lot of Sydney's past " Underbelly " type charactors.
Mr Barrett is a fellow member along with my brother of Tamarama surf club in Syd's eastern suburbs, quite a charactor himself.
He's a similar vintage to Firko, I'd be very surprised if they haven't crossed path's at some stage, even on the footy field, but maybe not, RGB is a leaguie and MF is an elbow patcher.

Steve, how weird,....I actually do know Bob Barrett but thought it'd be a bit rude to mention it . We're indeed both Randwick Rugby alumni!
 Bob's books are a really good aeroplane read and yes....he's definitely a character.

Books who has time for books!

Mark, when I said my brother I meant my other brother Robert who is the black sheep of the family.
He still has a love of bikes, he just bought a B44, but is a life member of Glamarama, school teacher and heavily involved in sport coaching on the northern beaches, took the studios option, LOSER??
I had an inkling you would've known RGB.
I haven't met him but have heard he could easily be in his own book.

Note - to SOME forum members.
How to make friends and influence people might be a good read.

Not Much of An Engineer

Fantastic book.

The Making of The Atomic Bomb

Again, brilliant. Won a Pulitzer prize. Haven't gotten around to reading it's follow up "Dark Sun: The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb".

Sheesh Luke, you're not particle accelerator engineer are you 

[Doggy Digger]

"Chickenhawk" hey, Luke.   Right up there ... an awesome read!
LOAN OUTS
Alas, I do it so often.   Love a book so much that I lend it ... and it never comes back.   Worst
part is, I can NEVER remember who I lend 'em to ...
