Just finished reading a great book

The Crucible is a fine example of how powerful religion can be, and how people use religion to enforce retarded rules and break the same rules while everyone elses backs are turned.

Hooray for Jesus! Poopie on Stem Cell Research!

I would be terrified to live in the days of "The Crucible". Everyone was extremely paranoid, and the days before seperation of church and state were very scary. I was appalled by the things I read and how the girls took control of everyone around them.

They fed everyone such ridiculus lies, and in the name of religion the court believed them. I think about 29 people were killed during the Salem Witch trials, and all the "hard evidence" they had were a bunch of young girls "crying out" that someone had used their spirit to try and kill them.

It truely was one of the most embarrasing and darkest times of human history.

I found 451 more interesting. It showed what the future could be like, instead of the past.

Try A Wrinkle In Time too. Also, I, Robot was pretty good untill Will Smith ruined it.

Oh, and I almost forgot, Alas, Babylon is creepy too.

Who is the author of The Giver ? It sounds interesting. I've never heard of it before though. I think I'll try to find it and give it a read.

I liked 451 better also, the "The Crucible" was still a good book.

I havnt read "I, Robot", but I did read A Wrinkle in Time back when I was in elemntary school. I cant remember much of what happened...just a few key parts. Was it a satire, symbolistic, or prophetic novel as well? I cant remember, and at the time I probably wasnt intelligent enough to see it.

"I, Robot in a nutshell"

Lois Lowry is the author, and I've read both Fahrenheit 451 and The Giver. I enjoyed them both. They were great.

but The Giver has dead babies

The Giver is great. I enjoyed it much more than many of the more depressing novels mentioned in here (sad books just aren't my thing - I just don't enjoy them).

I'm more of a Fantasy guy in general, though. The Wheel of Time series, the Sword of Truth series, the A Song of Ice and Fire series and all of the Shanara series are among my favorites (and I'm awaiting sequels of all of them).

I know the books i am about to suggest are nothing like the posts you guys dis.

But these are two books by one man who is my hero.

The first book is called Brain Droppings
The second is called Napalm and Silly putty

The man IS George Carlin. The man is my hero.

The books are some of his stand up routine stuff, and some of it is stuff i havent seen him preform. Yet, if you like...nay....love to laugh, pick up both books. They are not sequential, so either order is fine.

I know whatt eh books say, because i have read them each about 10 times, yet its almost brand new each time you read it.

Give it a go.
