bruno frankelli Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 ah.. may fifth pa pala? weird! hehe! wasn't able to get that one. pero that's next on my list. Also, while you're in your Douglas Adams stage right now, try looking for his Dirk Gently series. This is about a detective with a totally different approach to detective work. There are two Dirk Gently books -- "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" and "The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul". Neil Gaiman's concept about what happens to gods after their worshippers stopped believing was first tackled by Adams in the latter book. He was working on his third Dirk Gently book when he, sob sob, passed away. Sorry for the geekspeak. Quote Link to comment

gorgonite Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Hi, im new here at MTC. My friend BizMan told me to register here. Im selling books. We have a modest collection of commercial books that are relatively cheaper compared to NBS and Powerbooks. Do you have books by Isaac Asimov? His Robot series?He's one of my favorites... others are Stephen King and Rowling. I don't know if Asimov was already discussed in this thread. The move I, Robot was based on Asimov's works. His 3 Laws of Robotics was "borrowed" by other movies such as A.I. and the movie where Robin Williams played a robot. Most of his books were written back in the 40's if i remember right.But my favorite is his Foundation series. I read 3 of 5 already and I can't wait to read the next one! This series was voted the "Hugo Best Series Ever", beating Tolkiens' Lord of the Rings. Quote Link to comment
gorgonite Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I don't read novels anymore. I'm inot business, money making, or prosperity books like Laws of Prosperity, The Science of Getting Rich, etc. Money is good! Money cometh! yeah! How about Rich Dad, Poor Dad? Good read. Never thought I'd like a book about making money Quote Link to comment
