    Wealth of Nations? Is that a nice thing for a commie Viking to say?

    Let's please try to stay on topic, and not go bananas because of a book title.

    A fundamental part of a Vikings education is to learn where the good places to loot and rape are. Thus, Wealth of Nations and Babes of Nations are extremely important books.

    I like the idea but previous efforts never really took off. Going for a casual read, The Hunger Games is really fun, the type of book you bring to the beach. Just stupidly entertaining. For something with more depth, I really liked Lord of the Flies. It's kinda funny, I once had it for a school asignment. I must have made my English teacher really say because I marked everything that wasn't important at all, I never understood the book at the time. Rereading it was kinda a shamefull excersise.

    As long as you keep in mind that it's a kid's book it's great fun. Movie is much better actually imho.

    Now for something completily different, I keep recommending it but people don't listen, House of Leaves. I can absolutily assure you you have never read anything like it. It's a descent into total madness. It uses typography in a way you have never seen. It's an interactive novel really. It's scary, confusing, and pretty damn brilliant.

    It used to be pretty expensive but that isn't a problem anymore. Cult-classic.

    My failpad isn't advanced enough to copy/paste any images from google (NEVER get a failpad they don't work) but if you do a search yourself you will see what I mean.

    I tried to read that once. I didn’t get very far. I lost my copy a long time ago.
