Good books?
 

Looking for ideas, been reading Louie Lamar because my mom has about everyone ever printed. I tried King "The Stand uncut" and it was alright although there was a large amount of literary masturbating where he seemed to please himself instead of the reader, not sure if I will give him another try or not.Know of a good one?

How about The Scarlet Letter? Yeah, I've heard that's good. And maybe when you're done, oh, by Dec. 5th, you could write a new 3 page essay on one of the characters and post it here...

That way, we'll...ah, see if you actually read it.

ROFL

Seriously, what kind of books do you like? I've got a number of SF/Fantasy/Horror books you might find interesting, if that's your cuppa.

Orange Mane-fiction

A 3 page essay would take me 2 months the way I type!

War and Peace

Crime and Punishment

When you finish those, check back...in 2008 or somethin. :)

I enjoy just about anything from Jonathan Kellerman. Give him 1 shot and see if you like his style.

Also W.E.B. Griffin is one of the better combat writers of our time.

Here's what I plan on reading this winter...

The Godfather Returns by Mark Winegardner
Bob Dylan: Chronicles by Dylan
A Thin Red Line by James Jones
The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway
To Kill A Mockingbird by Lee

I am about to start a book called "Bringing Down The House" about some MIT students dominating Vegas for hundres of thousands of dollars.

"The Fan Man"
by William Kotzwinkle

Kotzwinkle is best known for penning "E.T." which turned out to be quite a hit film for him. However, "The Fan Man" is his underground novel with quite a cult following- one of my favorites.

"On the Road"
by Jack Kerouac

The sweetest novel of becoming a daring and adventurous rebel in the heart of America....the finest prose ever written.

"Into the Wild"
by Jon Krakauer

The true events of Christopher McCandless who ventured into the Alaskan wilderness never to return....

"Life of Pi"
by Yann Martel

Simply an amazing book of some kid trapped in a dinghy with a bengal tiger- one wild and magical ride alone on the ocean with a man-eating tiger.

"Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair"
by Pablo Neruda

All creatures should read a book a poems once in their lifetime- this is about as deep as the human spirit can get speaking of love and love lost.

"The Power of Myth" with Bill Moyers
by Joseph Campbell

A very intriquing and well-rounded book. Required reading for anyone who wants to expand their mind.

"Way of the Peaceful Warrior"
by Dan Millman

The story of a gymnast who discovers himself through a spiritual mentor who goes by the name of Socrates.

The Thin Red Line seems like a great book. I own the movie, and while I did like it, the story is about thoughts and emotions. I want to read the book because I'm hoping the thoughts are more explored and told. It's a beautiful movie, real anti-war.

My favorite book authors are James Patterson,John Sanford or Dean Koontz,they are awesome.

Anything by James Rollins:

He reminds me alot of Michael Crichton. Someone needs to make a movie out of "Subterannean."
