I stocked up on some of the classics that i havent read forever (or ever)...The Killing Joke, Year One, The Long Halloween, Dark Victory, and Knightfall...Any others that I missing that you recommend?....I am a bigger fan of the Batman GNs that do not involve Superman/Lex Luthor/etc.....

'the dark knight returns' is another classic, but i believe superman does make an appearance. (i agree though, boo superman). 'arkham asylum' is another good one. so is 'joker'. i've pretty much just used this list.

edit: also, the just made 'year one' into an animated film. pretty awesome if you are into that kind of thing. (which i am). (bryan cranston is the voice of gordon). (but the animated series will always be the best of all, especially 'mask of the phantasm').

i am solely a batman man. i would like to venture out, i think the 'sin city' series looks pretty good. it is hard to take a risk because they are pretty expensive. let me know if you venture out from the dark knight.

A lady in the office down the hall is trying to convince me to read 50 Shades of Gray. I know it's the latest housewife craze, but have any men actually read this book? Is it worth a read?

i saw a guy buy it at the barnes and noble in sioux falls. he grabbed it quickly in an attempt at discretion, which only drew attention to him. by the time i figured out what actually happened, he was gone. probably for a gf or wife, but to each his own.

Ok...taking a break from politics.

This is the time of year that I am looking for some good books to read til the weather is nice again.

Any suggestions?

I am looking for something non fiction and also non political. Maybe something motivational.

 
I'm moving this to the Lounge since it's not political in nature.

I would recommend The Book Thief. It's set just before and during the early stages of WWII, in Germany, and the narrator is Death. It is a wonderful book, and I highly recommend it.

Or from his early work, "Soul of a New Machine." Or really, just about anything else by Tracy Kidder.

/edit: This post is from a different thread that got merged. I think I mentioned Tracy Kidder in a post above.

I knew there were others, I just couldn't find them in a ten-second search. Thanks for the assist. Merged them all into one big repository of books discussions.

No problem boss man.

I started reading "If on a winter's night a traveler" and then I kinda got distracted. It's weird. The only reason I'm reading it is to prepare myself for "Cloud Atlas" which was supposedly inspired by "If on a winter's night a traveler."
