Are you talking classics or best sellers?

gorebaby on Sep 01 '06 at 9:44pm

Ann Rice's Vampire Chronicles

& The Book of Shadows

skimooseklb on Sep 01 '06 at 9:45pm

in general....has anyone read anything good lately?

MarcieD on Sep 01 '06 at 9:45pm

i actually just read 'A Million Little Pieces' and it was WAAAY better than i expected. if you like to read about rather deep subjects (such as hard drug abuse & life changes) then i recommend this book.

jwalsh on Sep 01 '06 at 9:46pm

If you like prozac nation you will probably like "wasted". It's my favorite book by far, it is so well written.

Squaw on Sep 01 '06 at 9:47pm

Lolita was the last good thing I read.

Right now I'm reading Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller, you might like it.

skimooseklb on Sep 01 '06 at 9:47pm

wasteland by francesca lia block is by far the best book i ever read.

faraway4rmhere on Sep 01 '06 at 9:48pm

well, to throw in a classic, The Picture of Dorian Grey [oliver wilde] awesome book.

and I loved loved loved, A Million Little Pieces..

BuiltToSpill on Sep 01 '06 at 9:49pm

Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut... rather, anything by him

Anthem by Ayn Rand- same deal

East of Eden by Steinbeck I think

King Lear and Macbeth by that british guy

Dandelion Wine- Bradbury

You know, the good stuff

I just finished reading The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner for school. It was a good book but a little hard to understand. It had multiple narrators; none of whom bother to introduce themselves.

skimooseklb on Sep 01 '06 at 9:50pm

hmmm. that would be a little hard to understand.

BuiltToSpill on Sep 01 '06 at 9:52pm

Oh, The Sound and the Fury

The first voice was like nails on a chalkboard to me. But skimming through, the intellectual fellow's writing is quite good.

Icanreadandwrite on Sep 01 '06 at 9:52pm

Who doesn't like Tropic of Cancer? It's half porn half ranting Henry Miller.

Read "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Nffenegger, it's like Slaughter House 5 but romantic and maybe for girls and literary geeks.

skimooseklb on Sep 01 '06 at 9:53pm

i heard that was good. i wanted to read it but i havent gotten a chance to yet.

[the time travelers wife]

MarcieD on Sep 01 '06 at 9:53pm

oh and truthfully, even though i was FORCED to read it last year in school - The Great Gatsby is a great peice of literature. i suggest it to anyone who hasnt read it.

BuiltToSpill on Sep 01 '06 at 9:55pm

Oh that reminds me of a book I read at the same time as Gatsby (imo given more credit than it deserves because of its mainstream appeal), the Sun Also Rises by Hemingway. It's sort of a hit or miss but I really dig his style.

mediashapes on Sep 01 '06 at 9:55pm

I had to read The Great Gatsby last year. I think I was the only person who liked it. Even my English teacher said he didn't like it.

skimooseklb on Sep 01 '06 at 9:57pm

haha i think i might have to read it this year....and if not i will probably read it anyways.

MoniqueH on Sep 01 '06 at 9:57pm

I read prozac nation too

BuiltToSpill on Sep 01 '06 at 9:57pm

I don't see why not. It's a pretty good book.

BuiltToSpill on Sep 01 '06 at 9:58pm

Actually most of my recommendations are like guy books (sorry if that sounds sexist). But East of Eden-- read it now.

skimooseklb on Sep 01 '06 at 9:58pm

yea its on my long list of books i want to read......

has anyone read running with scissors?

cause i wanna know if its any good.

MarcieD on Sep 01 '06 at 9:59pm

i know i was the only one that enjoyed it also, great book.

and now, thanks to this blog, i feel compelled to get up and go get a new book. i LOVE reading.

this.passion.is.a.plagiarism on Sep 01 '06 at 9:59pm

Harry Potter :]

Have you read Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes? It's pretty good.

skimooseklb on Sep 01 '06 at 9:59pm

me too!!!!

MarcieD on Sep 01 '06 at 10:00pm

i have heard Perks of being a wallflower if good also, but i havent gotten around to reading it yet.

Squaw on Sep 01 '06 at 10:00pm

Best High School required reading:

To Kill a Mocking Bird

East of Eden

Catcher in the Rye

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

faraway4rmhere on Sep 01 '06 at 10:01pm

oh, I loved East of Eden[yes it is Steinbeck].

The Great Gatsby is phenomenal, although it's sad.

1984 [Orwell] great, especially considering our Government these days

If you want a love story...Pride and Prejudice [Austen], or Jane Eyre, C. Bronte [I like this book although it's a bit odd at parts]

skimooseklb on Sep 01 '06 at 10:01pm

perks of being a wallflower is good....but everyone makes it out to be a lot better than i really thought it was.

i wasnt all that impressed. it was just good.

im telling you read wasteland by francesca lia block!!!!

it will change your way of thinking.

MarcieD on Sep 01 '06 at 10:01pm

To Kill a Mocking Bird...i was the only one that enjoyed that in my class too haha. and i wrote a very thorough paper on it too cuz i was so into the book.

faraway4rmhere on Sep 01 '06 at 10:01pm

I liked Catcher in the Rye, but it isn't an "everyone" book. But it isn't that long, so you could finish it quick.

mediashapes on Sep 01 '06 at 10:02pm

I'll co-sign Squaw's list.

MarcieD on Sep 01 '06 at 10:02pm

i already wrote that title down...haha im keeping a list of all these books people are talking about :-)

snacktivity on Sep 01 '06 at 10:02pm

Cheese Monkeys by Chip Kidd.

Gun, Germs, and Steel by Dr. Diamond (if you like history)

America: The Book by the writers of the Daily Show (if you don't like history)

BuiltToSpill on Sep 01 '06 at 10:02pm

Catcher in the Rye= 1 day of torture

faraway4rmhere on Sep 01 '06 at 10:02pm

Running With Scissors, an autiobiography is excellent. Plus, I think they're making a movie out of it.

MoniqueH on Sep 01 '06 at 10:02pm

I read The Perks of Being a Wallflower... It was good, but.... yeah I guess it was good.

WHSChristian on Sep 01 '06 at 10:03pm

I'm going to read lord of the flys. Is it any good?

MoniqueH on Sep 01 '06 at 10:03pm

The Catcher in the Rye is the best book ever.

skimooseklb on Sep 01 '06 at 10:04pm

the only thing i really loved bout perk of being a wallflower was this quote:

"i would die for you, but i wont live for you."

MoniqueH on Sep 01 '06 at 10:05pm

Read Lord of the Flies if you aren't going to do it in school, you don't want to have to re-read it.

WHSChristian on Sep 01 '06 at 10:06pm

yeah we are goin to read it in skool. But it sounds really intresting

MarcieD on Sep 01 '06 at 10:06pm

well thats a deep quote...haha.

Noodlegirl on Sep 01 '06 at 10:07pm

slaughterhouse five is by far one of the beset books i've ever read. read it.

skimooseklb on Sep 01 '06 at 10:08pm

yea thats the only thing i really liked bout it. but read it if you like......its a nice read for an afternoon since its so short.

skimooseklb on Sep 01 '06 at 10:13pm

i also adored the bell jar.

MarcieD on Sep 01 '06 at 10:13pm

i will just to see...who knows it could be my new favorite book haha. (doubtful but ya know..)

skimooseklb on Sep 01 '06 at 10:14pm

well a lot of my friends swear its their favourite book....i just didnt care for it as much as them. ive read a lot better....but thats just me. so go for it!

MoniqueH on Sep 01 '06 at 10:15pm

The bell jar was awesome.

MarcieD on Sep 01 '06 at 10:16pm

yeah, ive actually read so many good books...and in my 10th grade year when i had access to my school library i was reading books so fast i couldnt tell you the titles of 98% of them. i guess i should have kept a list or something :-/ haha.
