So I'm going to make an amazon order... I want that free shipping (without it might as well go buy them at the store)...
so far i have set up... bukowski--- probably post office unless some suggests that ham on rye, factotum, or playthe piano are way better. probably... the people of paper - salvador placensia. Very strange new book involvinfg an orgami surgeon and the characters of the book rebellinng agianst the author.. who happens to be SATURN! sounds like a pretty cool book. Now I need at another book--- any suggestioons? I've been pretty into poetry lately (writing it) so what are some good people, and books by them, to get. I read a lot of kerouac (partly why i'm getting other books-- too much-- i had to stop myself from buying dr sax earlier today - reasoning i'm in the middle of desolation angels right now). Ummm, yea!

Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman, if you want to get into poetry. As far as fiction I'd suggest A Voice Through a Cloud, by Denton Welch for something serious, or Decline and Fall, by Evelyn Waugh for something entertaining. Both English authors, and prose masters.

I don't read much poetry but one of the books I enjoyed most last year was "Glass, Irony and God" (poem compilation) by Anne Carson which I plan on ordering for myself soon.
Also enjoyed "Autobiography of Red" (a novel in verse) and "Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides" also by Carson, as far as poetry goes. |
