I really like books but i think they are too long. The last big i read was the hobbit, the thing is written very well and all the aspects of a great book are there, but its just too fuggin long and repetitive. |

Choke Survivor both by Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club) Survivor is excellent. Read it! |

skinny legs and all is tha bomb! HOLY SHIT, tom robbins is the most genius writer I have ever read. His work is brilliant. I have all of his books, and "fierce invalids home from hot climates" is probably one of the last 5 i read. I start reading books, but don't finish them... I have started: 1. The Power Of Now, by Ekhart Tolle 2. Don't Sweat the Small Stuff, Richard Carlson 3. The Holy Bible, by old dead folks 4. A Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams 5. The First Circle, by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn |

Yeah I just got into Tom Robbins this past summer with "fierce invalids..." and he is an amazing writer. I'm going to start reading 'even cowgirls get the blues' tomorrow. |

Good to see some Palahnuick on here, I think Survivor and Choke are great, Fight Club is excellent but Invisible Monsters was too fucking barmy |

master and margarita - bulgakov nervous people and other satires - zoshchenko animal farm - orwell the early plays of mikhail bulgakov v. - pynchon marlowe: the guerilla warfare manual is awesome. i always wanted to know how to turn a rifle into a molotov cocktail launcher:) but it is clever and, i thought, well written don't you think? i'm under the impression guevara didn't have much value on human life though. |

I pretty much only read non-fiction, I have lots of used library books I got for 1 dollar or so that I still havn't read. Most are not worth reading, you can tell, some are just dumb. There's a lot of good ones if you sort them out from the majority of bad though, a good simple series is the time life books, they have a whole series "the earth" "the reptiles" "the birds" all quite interesting and well written. |

i always have so many books that i mean to read, and always plan to get back to reading on a regular basis... books that i just bought or plan to read soon but will probably just be too tired and get fucked up instead... Illuminatus Trillogy - Robert Anton Willson & Robert Shea Cats Cradle - Kurt Vonnegut Peace and Strange Travelers by Gene Wolfe new translations of Franz Kafka two novels and most famous short stories Ender's Game, since so many people have read this and loved it or hated it, I've always wondered if Card, who is a devoted Mormon had some hidden purpose, so i've always been suspect of him... well, looks like an fast read anyway Snow crash by Neal Stephenson Dark ladies by Fritz leiber reread Lords of the Ring try to read some William S Burroughs again read or reread thru all of the available Philip k Dick stuff and a bunch of other stuff i gotta reread |

Aktium....IMHO...I would finish it. But that is just my personal opinion, I would go CRAZY if I started a book and did not finish it, no matter how bad. I do not want you to think that you should dropp ALL and start finishing GLUE, it is definately NOT his best work... BUt you should finish it eventually...It is not bad at all.... Read FILTH if you have not already....Its Welsh's sickest and most genius. |
