Dickens wrote A Tale of Two Cities(good story)

One book that is damn funny is Forrest Gump. If you thought the movie was good man the book is way better. Everyone should read this book.


The Clan of the Cave Bear series by Jean M Auel --- the first 4 volumes anyway, they're amazing, especially the first book in the series, the one the shitty 80's movie was based on. I've read that series through at least 5 times.

I almost picked this one up...I did pick up a Stephen King book,Gerald's Game, I also picked up a non-fiction book, The Professor, The Banker, and the suicide king.

I opted for Stephen King because I forgot my list at the house...LOL.

I was at the library and couldn't remember a damn title or author that people mentioned...so I went with something "comfortable."

Hopefully, this will get me inspired to read for enjoyment again...but I still have the list from this thread, and will continue to add to it.

Spider Robinson's "Callahan Chronicles."

Hand in your report by Monday. :) You will love them, I guarantee it.

Elli 07-09-2007 09:51 PM
Eh, Gerald's Game was lame. His newer one "Cell" is much more classic King. The Shining is still my fave King book ever.

the halo books are great.

As a young adult, every chance I got I was reading. I would go to bed at 9 or 10, but read once again until 1-2 in the morning.

Then something changed, I stopped reading fiction, and began to read only educational type books. And by that, I mean books on business, or how-to type books, so nothing that would enrich me creatively. This has gone on now for well over 10 years, and I personally think my creativity has suffered from it.

So, I'm going to go to the library and pick up a book or two, read it, and give a report on it within a month...LOL. The only reason I'm going to post a report, is to ensure that I actually read the damn thing.

Plus, all of my how-to / educational books are going to be boxed up until I get back into the habit of reading for entertainment.

So, with that in mind. Please suggest a book or two to read. Fiction only.

Thanks in advance.

Dark Rivers of the heart - Koontz

Ok to be different...

Martin Amos - Times Arrow

Very short read, very postmodern. Easily one of the best books I've ever read, and I read a lot.

"The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho is fantastic by the way. Quick read to (a couple days tops) & will have you thinking for hours.

Anything and everything by Robert Anton Wilson

Sexsitesurfer 07-10-2007 01:24 AM
"Glamorama" by Brett Easton Ellis (he also wrote American Psycho, Rules of Attraction and Less than Zero which are also good).

"Money" by Martin Amis (I have enjoyed every Martin Amis book I read, but think this is my favourite).

"On the Beach" by Nevil Shute.

"Lucky Jim" by Kingsley Amis, Martin's father. I have to warn you several non Brits didn't enjoy this book half as much as me, but it had me in stitches.

Sexsitesurfer 07-10-2007 01:29 AM
"Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes is pretty good too!

voa 07-10-2007 01:33 AM
My suggest is David Icke-Illuminati.

The Automatic Millionaire by David Bach

Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series is my absolute fave. You know how when you read certain books the characters are painted so vividly that it's hard to believe they aren't real? That's how I feel about her characters.

She was incredibly witty and forward thinking. For me, it's her wit that makes her books so fantastic to read. You also have to consider that she was writing during the very beginning of the 19th century, which is another thing that makes her work so amazing to me. Gender roles and expectations were pretty much written in stone during that period. She couldn't even write under her own name and never received any recognition until after her death.


And whoever above mentioned Choke, that was actually one of the books I bought the other day. I haven't started it yet.

I really liked Survivor and Invisible Monsters too.

The lord of the rings. Not the movie...

CosmicTang 07-10-2007 10:24 AM
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...f_Solitude.png

best book I've ever read.



Anything by Vonnegut will please on many levels.

David Sedaris' "Me Talk Pretty One Day" or Christopher Moore's "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal" are both laugh out loud.

Gore Vidal writes some terrific historical novels.

Dan Delillo is strong too.

Brothers K is supposed to answer all life's questions and I loved "The Alchemist" too.

You could also try Herman Hesse, "A Journey To The East" or "Siddharta".

FTR- "A Tale of Two Cities" was written by Charles Dickens.

It ended up not being my cup of tea, but if it was you, I just read something the other day about them making the books into a tv series this fall. I can't for the life of me remember who the actress was that may star in it, but she was someone from a pretty well known tv show that was canceled (I think).
haha, that was probably me as I did like the 1st 5 books in the series just not the 6th one.
