U mean regular books or cannabis books? I read books and forget the name or I forget the author. I read like I watch tv, without getting too involved, without even paying too much attention, until something in it grabs me, then I'm all ears. I like fiction, I like educational shit (those I pay more attention to) a book that comes to mind that I really liked and one that I read a few years ago too, was called Blink by Malcom Gladwell. It's about first impressions in everyday life and how we form those first impressions and how sometimes they are good and sometimes not so good. Great read, in fact I'd read it again. And Gladwell is a friggin genius anyway. I'd read more of his works but I'm lazy.

Seen that one, good movie. As for movies I thought Austin Powers: Gold Member was hilarious, can't believe it's been 12 years since it's released.

I'm thinking you could be right. Never read Frederico, no, not really my cup of tea mate.
I'm more of a Stephen King, George R.R. Martin, Goosebumps type of dude

These two books will blow your mind:
Kurzweil, The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence (2000)
Kurzweil, The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology (2006)
He (and a growing number of people) believe we will merge with biotech and eventually "offload" ourselves to superintelligent computers for the equivalent of immortality. He presents his vision of the future as evolution, just evolving away from the limitations of biologic to technological life.
It's a mind-blowing topic. What constitutes life? To be at a level we could "offload" ourselves they'd have to be capable of self-awareness. What happens when they reach that state (expected in the next 20 years)? Do they decide they don't need us?
It sounds scifi now, but people are really expecting this (either positive or negative) in the next 20-40 years.

Every bit as good as Tom Clancy. Naval war U.S. vs. China. Couldn't put it down.
Hate to be a wetblanket and actually stay on topic - far and away the best book on pot-growing is "Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible" by Jorge Cervantes (a pseudonym). 512 color pages with 1120 color pix. High Times blurbs on the cover that this book has "the best step-by-step information available anywhere. If you want to grow weed, this is the book you need." Cover price is $25 new but I bet you can pick up a used copy on Amazon if you looked.
One of the most valuable sections of the book (for me) is a 20 page chapter about plant diseases and nutrient deficiencies with pix to illustrate every condition. The chapter on cloning alone is worth the price of the book. All of the debates you see here on RIU are handled in the book -- from 18/6 vegging vs. 20/4 vegging, HPS vs. ML bulbs for vegging and/or flowering, auto vs. traditional, dirt growing vs. hydro set-ups, etc.
The book also came in real handy when I decided to make my growing perpetual a few years ago. I learned that my flowering space would need to be 3 to 4 times as large as my vegging space. I learned that short, bushy indicas came closest to just what I wanted to grow. I learned when to water and how much, etc.
Good luck, BigSteve.
