last ones i enjoyed: kurt vonnegut - mother night, flaubert - salammbo, dostoevsky - crime and punishment, (i also recently read candide by voltaire, which was lame). any i-d-e-a-s? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
may I suggest something by Chuck Palahniuk? |

Something happened by joseph heller? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Chuck Palahniuk! yes! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

people recommend me joseph heller all the time .. maybe i go for it .. palahniuk is too fight clubbish. |
||||||||

I would suggest something happened. Its a neat little experiment, and it works perfectly. Well, its actually a pretty big. |

I read the Godfather yesterday, it was awesome. I didn't even finish Palahnuick's last novel, it was bollocks. One trick pony with delusions of grandeur. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Lullaby is better IMO. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

Something Happened by Heller was going great and then I lost it, you could succeed where I failed. Catch 22 is brilliant if you haven't read it already. |
||||||||

Wich one's the last? (Two days ago was Chuck's birthday...that's why he has come to my mind...) |

Haunted. I'd already read Guts and it seems that was all it had to offer. I might be wrong since I gave up though. I am currently reading the Mothman Prophecies, then I'm onto the Bond series. I love ebook sites! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Guts? never heard of that.. And Haunted not yet read... Choke was also good, again IMO... |
||||||||
|

Anything by Haruki Murakami, but especially "A Wild Sheep Chase", i only discovered this writer recently and i must say all his books so far are brilliant. |
||||||||

Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. Awesome book, think they're turning it into a film with the guy that played the Nazi in Octupussy who's a bit of an actorrrrrrrr - Stephen Berkov is it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Another recomendation: L'Ecume des jours by Boris Vian |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

if youre in to graphic novels i suggest Maus or Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid On Earth. both books ive enjoyed a hell of a lot. ummm also cos Benchleys died im rereading Jaws but ive loved that since i was a little manchild and so my critical analysis is clouded. Also if your not adverse to gay serial killer love stories check out Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z Brite. And I agree with the Palahniuk one trick pony theory. |

Catch 22 is good. Funny too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
i bought something happened, the first paragraph was good. (i also bought the idiot by dostoevsky). |
||||||||
|

To follow up the French realists you might want to try Balzac's 'Old Goriot', or even a collection of Maupassant's short fiction. I also reccomend James Joyce 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im reading all the classic sci-fi. Jules verne, HG Wells etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I recomend: Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez - Love in the Time of Cholera |
||||||||
|
|

The Third Policeman by Flann O'Brien. Everyone should read that at least five times. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, i like reading Chuck Palahniuk. But for a life changing read: Hermann Hesse: Siddhartha |
||||||||

White Noise by Don DeLillo Against Nature (A Rebours) by Joris-Karl Huysmans A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce Ulysses by James Joyce The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov Going After Cacciato by Tim O'Brien Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy these are some of my favourites, picked loosely in relation to the last books you read -- as in, if you liked those then you might like these. |

Fools Die by Mario Puzo (author of the Godfather) is a brillant novel. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Magus by John Fowles unbelievable |
||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

|
|

i second the palahniuk, including invisible monsters, which is just as fucked up as all his other books (the only one that has actually sent me to the brink of vomiting tho) also, tom robbins is spectacular. ive read villa incognito and am in the midst of another roadside attraction. |
