I usually stop reading a book I don't like. I hate doing that but life's too short to read crap. I think the last shit book I read was an Iain Banks novel called Walking on Glass. I've stuck to the good stuff since then and gone mostly for Penguin Classics. |

|
i read the penguin classics a few years ago jonesy -- good reading, non? i am a huge fan of dostoyevsky personally |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
come on, damion, Crash is not exactly shitty. You may call it alienating, but shitty? You make it sound like it was some soft porn paperback mag. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've not read any dostoyevsky. Any recommendations? Has anyone read A Man in Full by Tom Wolfe? Anyone like Danielle Steel? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

No, but I enjoy the made-for-tv movies. Ahem. I've just started the Unbearable Lightness of Being. Its cool so far. One book I never got anything out of was the Outsider which everyone always goes on about. I read it at the insistence of my girlfriend. |

is this l'etranger by albert camus? i recommend the plague by him - great book -- also, nausea by sartre, and his trilogy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've got Nausea and my girlfriend has the Plague so I'll check them out. the Camus book I'm talking about is about a guy living in Algeria whose mother dies and who stands trial for murder etc. |
||||||||

yeah that book changed my life when i was 16 -- read it the day before a book report was due in, and wrote my report on that in one sitting :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Are you talking about the Outsider? I don't get it. Maybe I'm a bit of a thicko. |
||||||||

Yo enthy -- i bought proud highway the other week - haven't read it yet :) yeah, this one is fascinating, seeing as it covers most of his major works -- really interesting. i take it you've read most of his books, otherwise i doubt it would be as interesting..:) |
