Anyone know any good books?
 

i need some very good book ideas. go

'Drugs Are Nice' by Lisa Crystal Carver.

I'm reading Miracles and Idolatry by Voltaire, that's pretty good. I'd recommend reading the Bible or Joyce's Ulysses.

spike milligans puckoon!
hilarous

I'm reading some of Peter Bragge's Hate Collection comix.

Ulysses is my next book to read, after that is A Clockwork orange, and then SlaughterHouse-Five

Funny choices static-harmony, as Ulysses is the next book I'm reading, and SlaugheterHouse-Five sometime after that. You'll like Clockwork, that is if you can get past the Nadsat.

Books:
1. 1984-Orwell
2. Animal Farm-Orwell
3. East of Eden-Steinbeck (currently reading)
4. The Portriat of Dorian Grey-Wilde

ive read 1984 and Animal Farm, they are very good. and i love Steinbeck.
I think i want to read a non-fiction, like a biography or something

I loved Clockwork Orange when I was a teenager, but I found it a bit juvenile when I went back to it last year.

Ulysses is among the most important books in modernity, and my joint favourite book (with Finnegans Wake). I cannot recommend Ulysses enough, but I will say it's not the easiest read ever. The closing, grammarless, vertigenous reverie puts the beats and Miller to shame. His portamentoinvention is only paralleled by Shakespeare, and infinitely less useful.

Then Go for Confusion is Next: The Sonic Youth Stoy- By Alec Foege it is a good read.

I want to read Swann's Way after reading all of those books.

Personally, I preferred the I dreamed of noise biography to confusion is next, although I dreamed of noise only goes up to EJST&NS-era.

o yea, i forgot about that one! whats that book (i dont know if its out yet) with the authors writing poems i think about sonic youth songs or something? i thought there was something like that i heard about

Good luck. I can guarantee you wont understand all of it. Unless you're multi-lingual that is.

The Empty Page, coming out late 2007, according to this page.

In Cold Blood-Truman Capote

I'm currently reading "Jude the Obscure", pretty good read. Haven't read anything modern lately, but I always like to turn people onto T.C. Boyle if you haven't read anything by him, great short story writer, his novels are great too, but he really shines with his short stories.

i re read american psycho again recently and it made me laugh a bit too much. the film was rubbish compared.

Some of my favourite books:

Susan Hill - I'm The King Of The Castle
Kazuo Ishiguro - The Remains Of The Day
John Fante - Ask The Dust

And if you're going to read a book by Anthony Burgess, ignore A Clockwork Orange (by far his worst) and try Earthly Powers instead.

i need to read more fante stuff. any recs pookie?
