Aw, shucks.
It appears as though we have similar tastes in books. I loved Hemingway in high school, there's something special about the way he used conversational Spanish in his stories.

Nina · 04-05-2002, 09:02 PM

I love Hemingway. He was such a good one. I read a great biography of him by A. E. Hotchner called Papa Hemingway.

I just started getting into Heinlein. I loved The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. I run a Book of the Month Club on my site and that was the first book we read.

Right now I'm re-reading Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury.
And I'm about to start The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac.

How about you?

theWatsonian · 04-05-2002, 09:11 PM

Right now my To Read list consists of Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre and Creation by Gore Vidal along with several large Microsft books as I get geared up for my first test in the MSCE track.

currently reading " Killing Pablo" By Mark Bowden. It's about the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar.

Next up is " The Human Stain" by Phillip Roth

Anything by Dan Simmions especially "Summer of Night" or "Carrion Comfort" If you like horror/fantasy type stuff then you should check out Clive Barkers " Great and Secret Show" And it's sequal " Everville"

I just read " The Bottoms" By Joe Landsdale and loved it.

Also check out Nicholson Baker's " The Fermata" It's about a guy who learns that he can stop time and uses this power to live out his every sexual perversion

And of course if you only read 2 books in your life they should be " If I Die In a Combat Zone " And " The Things They Carried " By tim 'o brien

don't forget " Fight Club" Too.
