playstation Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Guys, can anyone recommend a book to understanding weather...I want it to be in basic layman language to understand but should be really helpful. Also for any who is interested in Adventure and Mountaineering...I highly highly recommend this book.

dylanjosh Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Finished 8 Wheel of Time books. Getting a bit tiring, so I took a break and I'm now currently reading The Martian. I didn't quite expect it to be this humorous. Will continue with Winters Heart after that. Edited September 17, 2015 by dylanjosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a book that is a monologue for the most part, Martian is really funny Loved it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanjosh Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) There's a part in the book where NASA scientists start something called Project Elrond, named after the Council of Elrond in LOTR. One of the people who start it is a character named Mitch Henderson, who's going to be played by Sean Bean in the movie Edited September 24, 2015 by dylanjosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ox- Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) I am reading Siddhartha by Herman Hesse I read this a few weeks back. It wasn't what I expected, but I still enjoyed a different perspective. Edited October 2, 2015 by MiteshNinja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanjosh Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Which? There two books in the quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ox- Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Which? There two books in the quote Siddhartha. I thought it was going to be about the Buddha himself lol. But in actuality it's a story about another guy (called Siddhartha) and how he goes about his quest to attain enlightenment. His views are quite different from the Buddha himself and that's the different perspective I really enjoyed.

Book is good but i guess writer is misguiding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STICK3Rboy Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Finished reading Mogworld. It's every bit as funny as you'd expect a book written by Yahtzee to be. It drags a bit at some places but it's no biggie. Still liked it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyoyaHibari Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) I've been reading inherit the stars. Lame name but the book is amazeballs, its surprising how this book hasnt been well known. The story starts with a group of scientists discovering a body on moon, and from there on several high profile academics in all fields gather to solve the mystery. Most of the book revolves around the discussion between these people and conclusions they draw. Each and every conversation is a blast to read.

The Wolfy among us Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Thanks will get to it. I am reading mountain shadow now. Will take me forever to complete it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyoyaHibari Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Must try it if you like hard scifi. It's only 200 pages, and I think it has sequels too but not sure if il read them. This book apparently concludes properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
