Books

So tell me what your all time favorite book is. You have to narrow it down to one don't post a list. I would have to say mine is "What is the What" by Dave Eggers, i suggest everyone read it. Its an amazing story about the life of one of the Lost Boys of Sudan

i guess nobody reads on threadless...

sugarless on Jul 14 '07 at 2:18pm

nobody can narrow it down, lol

sugarless on Jul 14 '07 at 2:18pm

i could do five..

SheepMan420 on Jul 14 '07 at 2:18pm

oh come on...how about top 2 then

sugarless on Jul 14 '07 at 2:19pm

three:

amazing adventures of kavalier and klay
wasted
and the giving tree. its a picture book, but it is my all time favorite.

hanzabean on Jul 14 '07 at 2:20pm

I read. A lot.
It's just like... impossible to pick a favorite.
However, I love Catch-22. The characters are awesome, and of course it's a classic, and it's generally a very cool novel.
And I love Catcher in the Rye, because Holden is weird and I like how he adds "hell" to like every sentence.

SheepMan420 on Jul 14 '07 at 2:23pm

ohh i love the giving tree and wasted is pretty good to never read that first one but im gonna have to now

i have never read catch22 i have heard lots of good things about it but its on my list of things to read

hanzabean on Jul 14 '07 at 2:26pm

Yeshhh. I love Milo Minderbinder. He is so absurd but he is my favorite character.

I love Eric Carle and Dr. Seuss; my childhood would not have been complete without their books.

sugarless on Jul 14 '07 at 2:26pm

Oh, you HAVE to.. it was amazing.

i read it a couple of years ago.. and for my english class, we were supposed to write a book review on any sci fi book, but i COULD NOT get into one.. so my teacher let me do it on that.

its by michael chabon, btw

Polyester Jones on Jul 14 '07 at 2:28pm

I wonder if people ever confuse the Sheepmen....

the other one owns a bookstore

probably something Coupland

Rambunkcious on Jul 14 '07 at 2:28pm

seriously sheep you own a book store and you are asking people to narrow it down to one book....thats pretty much impossible for anyone who loves to read

hanzabean on Jul 14 '07 at 2:29pm

No, the other sheepman owns a book store.
lol

Rambunkcious on Jul 14 '07 at 2:30pm

I wonder if people ever confuse the Sheepmen....

Rambunkcious on Jul 14 '07 at 2:30pm

mj00 on Jul 14 '07 at 2:42pm

Sewer, Gas & Electric by Matt Ruff
Diamond Age by Neil Stephenson
Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin

hanzabean on Jul 14 '07 at 2:43pm

also, if you're into humorous stuff, check out Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams.
Pratchett is a freaking Genius, and Adams wrote The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which is probably actually now a cult classic. Plus they're both insanely funny and skilled.

jet approves on Jul 14 '07 at 2:47pm

i can't pick a favorite, but i'm reading The Restaurant at the End of the Universe right now. it's part of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series that hanzabean is talking about. definitely a good series thus far.

emmy.withwings on Jul 14 '07 at 2:47pm

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Alice through the looking Glass by Lewis Carroll will always hold a place in my heart. I doubt anything will ever replace them as my favorite works of fiction.

I also have to say the work of Kurt Vonnegut; Slaughterhouse 5. Since I first picked it up when I was 14 I have read it over and over, and though lit-heads would probably roll their eyes its really helped me through a lot. I am getting line from it tattooed on my skin forever.

Theres so many other books I hold dear. These blogs tend to make me ramble :p

ktox on Jul 14 '07 at 2:50pm

Ask the Dust by John Fante.

tiphaine on Jul 14 '07 at 2:50pm

Cruddy by Lynda Barry.
Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides.
The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman.

emmy.withwings on Jul 14 '07 at 2:53pm

oh wow, I love so many of the books mentioned in this blog. If youre going to start on Coupland, read generation X. Its brilliant.

SheepMan420 on Jul 14 '07 at 3:11pm

wow sorry i was gone so long got busy there for a while

these are some great books people listed and im makin a list of the ones recommended that i havent read so i can start readin them thanks

sheena.bella on Jul 19 '07 at 8:02pm

good for you :)

SheepMan420 on Jul 19 '07 at 8:03pm

ha why did you come to my blog to reply...sense no make

KickO on Jul 19 '07 at 8:33pm

wheres waldo?

juliejeremiah on Jul 19 '07 at 8:36pm

I'd also say Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut. By far the best novel I was required to read in high school, and that's only because I was in the advanced program.

I also really love Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson.

Polyester Jones on Jul 19 '07 at 10:10pm

oh man tiphaine, I loved Middlesex...

also, Kornwolf by Tristan Egolf. Werewolves? Amish people? Satanic music? I'm there. Besides being hilarious, and creepy, it was very very well written and a damn good book.

Anybody know of any other werewolf books?

hanzabean on Jul 19 '07 at 10:13pm

I know of a werewolf/vampire fan fiction, haha.
*cough*

"The Greedy Python" is a good, 5 minute read.
(also one of my favorite childhood books... hehe)

Stevethegreat on Jul 19 '07 at 10:14pm

probably Catch-22

Polyester Jones on Jul 19 '07 at 10:15pm

HANZA! Hand it over.
Vampires. Werewolves. I love it all.

Malcolm Man on Jul 19 '07 at 10:17pm

Catch-22
Torture The Artist
Catcher In The Rye (because he adds "crazy" and "hell" to about every sentence.)

Polyester Jones on Jul 19 '07 at 10:19pm

Oh like fun he does!

God I loved that book. I just finished reading it. Again.

hanzabean on Jul 19 '07 at 10:20pm

it's on a forum so there are comments interspersed, but it is pretty good... and unfinished, but that adds an element of annoyance and surprise, I guess.

(it'll open in a new window if I didn't screw up the code)

roboroller on Jul 19 '07 at 10:21pm

i didn't really like Slaughterhouse Five...and I could never figure out WHY...i just didn't

The Things They Carried by Tim O'brien or The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay

hanzabean on Jul 19 '07 at 10:21pm

haha malcolm,

Malcolm Man on Jul 19 '07 at 10:22pm

Oh, pretty much anything by Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuck, or JD Salinger

Daniel San on Jul 19 '07 at 10:24pm

So sheepman420 works at the bookshop that both his mother and sheepman22 own. They both have the same atrocious spelling and grammar, especially for people that seem to be such literature fanatics.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Polyester Jones on Jul 19 '07 at 10:24pm

Thanks Hanza!

I forgot about Palahniuk...Gaiman, too

Malcolm Man on Jul 19 '07 at 10:27pm

Gaiman!

Polyester Jones on Jul 19 '07 at 10:28pm

Have you read the one he did with Pratchett?

Neil Gaiman and his satanic tomato

Malcolm Man on Jul 19 '07 at 10:30pm

ha ha, no! Damn! I have not.

Polyester Jones on Jul 19 '07 at 10:31pm

oh man, it's brilliant...it's hilarious, and it's a really great combination of the both of their styles. definitely need to read that.
