I recently finished Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire", well at least all that are out... It was freaking awesome. But it is also massive, so I decided to go back to some American "classics" That I had somehow missed along the way. Here are the recent that I have read:
"Slaughterhouse Five" by Kurt Vonnegut -- Really kind of weird deal with your demons kind of book... recommend it.
"The Catcher in the Rye" by JD Salinger -- Kinda got sick of the teenage angst angle, but could associate on some levels with Holden... I'm not nearly as negative though. Recommend it.
"The Great Gatsby" by F.S. Fitzgerald -- Kinda a loss of innocence, death of the American dream kinda theme, set way back, but almost fits with current political climate. Recommend it.
"Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck -- Poor Lennie. Reminds me of me sometimes...Can I tend the rabbits? Recommend it... quick read too...
So now I hit some high school required reading...now I want to go to something fast pace, mindless action, fantasy, sci-fi, adolescent power fantasy type shit. Any suggestions?
