The Library

[NEO]

Place to come and talk about books you've read so others might hear about them and maybe want to read them also.

Pooch and Hobock were talking about a JS book I'd never read? can you guys give some details without giving away the plot?

hustler.

 

[PoochPunt3rdDown]

It's about life on Skid Row during the Great Depression. Great characters and an interesting story line.

You are a political guy, Neo. If you haven't, check out Christopher Buckley. He wrote Thank You For Smoking which was made into a movie. Good satirist.

Anybody ever read a book they wish they could live?

Mine would be the HP lovecraft world. Or maybe thin man.

 

[dembewbs]

But if you want to read a good book.

The Gift of Valor.

Any Jim Thompson fans here?

Anyone ever feel depraved enough to read some Henry Miller?

I read some but it was a little too drugged out for my taste.

I own tropic of cancer but have never read it.

i liked cs lewis space trilogy though ... going the exact opposite route

I was a much bigger fan of Ferlinghetti and Kerouac.


Camus is perfect if you like the existentialists.

If you read HST make sure you read "Hell's Angels". It's better than Fear and Loathing.

I agree.

Anyone eve read The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test? I found the writing and the subject a prefect embodiment of a place in time.

I also personally think Sometimes A Great Notion by Kesey is one of the best American novels ever.

you guys are gonna laugh but night shift by stephen king (short stories) is one of my favorite books. I truly believe he was an amazing author until his wife started writing under his name around gerald games

Neo, if you like fantasy-like stuff you can check out the Merlin Trilogy by Mary Stewart.

No laugh. I really liked IT. I remember reading it in high school. Long book but good. The movie was crap.

I have no problem, at all, with King. Fyodor may disagree.
