I want to know what everyone here reads on a regular basis, or currently. Lately I’ve been reading a lot of texts regarding the bible codes, the NIV bible, as well as old books/ essays written about the mysteries of the bible and religion as a whole. Definitely some deep meaning as most of the answers form their base upon faith and nothing physical, as we as humans are used to.

I've not been reading anything for entertainment lately.

the Bible, a saltwater fish book, and H.G. wells' time machine

I just started reading more, I read at least 1 book a month but try to read more.

I'm currently reading "LOTR - Return of the King" by J.R.R. Tolkein

Some of the books that I've read recently are:

"LOTR - The Two Towers" by J.R.R. Tolkein

"LOTR - Fellowship of the Ring" by J.R.R. Tolkein

"Little Evil: One Ultimate Fighter's Rise to the Top" By Jens Pulver with Erich Krauss

"Kurt Angle - It's True! It's True!" by Kurt Angle

"Brawl: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Mixed Martial Arts Competition" by Erich Krauss and Bret Aita

"The Gracie Way" by Kid Peligro

"The Eyes of the Dragon" by Steven King

"Dinosaur Training" by Brooks Kubic


I also read alot more books on BJJ Technique, and weight training and dieting techniques/tips. I don't usually read these books from front to back, but here are a few of them that I've dabbled into.

"Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Theory and Technique" by Renzo and Royler Gracie

"Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Self-Defense Techniques" by Royce and Charles Gracie

"Passing the Guard vol.1: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Details and Techniques" by Ed Beneville and Tim Cartmell

"Optimum Physique" by Jamie Hale (check him out www.maxcondition.com)

"Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Submission Grappling" by Royler Gracie

"Mastering Ju-Jitsu" by Renzo Gracie

"Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt Techniques (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu series)" by JJ Machado and Kid Peligro


Once I finish the third LOTR book I plan on reading "The Beach House" by James Patterson. After that I think I'll pick up "Dune", which my father has been telling me to read for years. Then I'll read David Wells' biography, which I got a few chapters into but never finished. After that I plan on reading a few books lying around my house that I've never read before like "Eight Men Out" by Eliot Asinof and "Bunts" by George Will. Then I'll reread "The Hobbit" cuz it ****en owns. I also plan on picking up some more James Patterson **** if he's as good as I hear he is.

Forgot to mention I eventually plan on getting into the "Wheel of Time" series by Robert Jordan. This is a 10 book series of big ass books that I hear are ****ing incredible.

"Mastering Ju-Jitsu" by Renzo Gracie

The five rings-Musashi

EASY RIDERS RAGING BULLS: HOW THE SEX-DRUGS-AND ROCK 'N ROLL GENERATION SAVED HOLLYWOOD

This is one that I've hear good things about that I'm going to pick up with x-mas money.

Some real estate books.

Besides my magazines, I have been reading the lord of the rings books. I was looking for a book I seen in Maxim, they had a special where they printed the first chapter of a few new books coming out. The one I am looking for is called Odd Thomas. Looks pretty good......

I have never read any book on any professional field.

Read???? Who has the time to read?? Not me!! Uh uh. I don't know what free time is......no such thing in this house!

I do have a book I opened and read when I go potty...lol. Hearts in Atlantis. But even then I don't get much privacy.

I keep magazines in the bathroom, or else I would read the back of shampoo bottles. I already read all the ones we have now......

"The Deluge year" by Eduardo Mendoza
"The Reality Dance" by Alejandro Jodorowsky
"Blood Books" by Clive Barker
"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" by Manuel Romeu (how it was made)

"Diary" - Chuck Palanuik

code of the samurai

i'm reading my ****ing financial contability book and notes...

After the exams I'll start "The Choice Valour" by Fernando Savater...

The other day I read "Who's looking out for you" By Bill O'Reilly. Now I'm finally finishing LOTR ROTK and after that I plan on reading "Private Parts" by Howard Stern

Lots of magazines.

Any book by R.A. Salvatore. He has a new book I'm waiting to go to paperback.

Self help, meditation, finding yourself types of books to. I love those.

Haven't been reading enough lately. I try to read one book a month at least but I've been seriously slacking lately.

Damn!! i hate these kind of books (finding yourself, self help...) Zen, perhaps because I read one that I didn't finsh because it said how I had to be, I thing these books (well, soe of these books) steal part of our personality.

Zen, try to get this book "The Reality Dance" of Alexandro Jodorowsky, I'm sure you would like it...

Currently, I'm reading "From a Buick 8" by Stephen King. I'm a big King fan. I've got all his books except for two of them; Cycle of the Werewolf, which is like 30 bucks and is about 150 pages long. It has pictures, so I guess that's where the price comes from, and Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Caila. I'm way too cheap to buy it in hardcover, so I'll wait for the paperback.

Train- Pete Dexter
Heartbeat- Danielle Steele or whatever the **** her name is.
Violin - Anne Rice.... I was reading this but I couldn't finish it, I thought it sucked so bad.
The Diligent- it's a non-fiction about the slave trade long ago
Build me an ark- a non-fiction book about different animals

For every fiction book I read, (and I love to read) I try to read a non-fiction. It balances my reading time between entertainment and education

I guess I should have said spirituality instead of self help. I think it's all related though. I'm loco and always trying to find a way to relax myself, and keep my life moving in a positive direction.

I'll definitely check out the book you recommended.

No dout, after "listen" your words ("I'm loco and always...") I'm sure yo'll like this book, remember that Alexandro Jodorowsky is the director of "El Topo" (The Mole), the greatest lisergic film never made...

over the last 4 weeks
I have read
Kenpo Jui-jitsu - What is self defense - by mitose
Path of the warrior
Hagukare - book of the samurai

and I am currently reading Bruce Lees Striking thoughts

I finally finished my book. It only took me a month. I usually read a book from beginning to end in just a day or two. No time and that is one thing I really really really really miss. Reading.

I just finished the Life of Christ. Very good book; the timing is perfect seeing as how my bible study just started this topic.

Also recently finished The Purpose Driven Life; of which I recommend to everyone I meet.

Recentll I've read "The Once and Future Kink" by T.H. White and the "Zen of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert Pirgis. I'll probably read "Siddartha" by Herman Hesse next.

What are some good spirituality books you have read? Thanks in advance man.

Tom: The NIV Christian bible.

That's all the spiritual truth that you will ever need for all of eternity.

This could just be the dumbest question, but, what does NIV mean?

New International Version... It's the version that's translated into the American way of speaking, thus forging you the easiest way of understanding each sentence.
