please recommend me a book for the summer!
 

I've been on summer vacation for almost 3 weeks now and i am going crazy!! I have no book to read! Someone please recommend me a very very good book. I usually like books that other people don't like, and i don't know why that is. I always think the books i read are awesome and that people would like them, but when i recommend it to them, they say they hated it! anyways the last book i read was Kiss Me Judas, and that was a long ass time ago. I haven't been able to find a decent book, and I haven't had time to read cause i'm always busy with school shit, but now it's over and i'm dying to read.........So Recommend Now!

The Bible.

Fineggans Wake.

Readers Wives vol 4, iss 39.

On a more serious note, Jean Genet is very good, as is Henry Miller.

I'm reading The Bookseller of Kabul right now. Its very insightful. Pick it up. You're only going to read one book, all summer?

okay Glice give me a book name by any of those two and i will look into it. Usually authors have books that are great and also books that are absolute shit, so give me a good one.

oh well i'm going to start summer school on the 5th so i might only have time for one.

I think we all agree....










Seriously though, if you really want a fun and exciting read get, The Sickness Unto Death by Kierkegaard.

and who is Sickness Unto Death by?

war and peace.
its a tough read.

hmm...i don't know about tough reads for such a short period of time.

Tough, and pretty unrewarding.

Check my other post, I edited.

God and the state - Mikhail Bakunin

very interesting

haha that's a definete must have. NomadicFollower, i just read up on that book title you gave me. It looks like a religious book or like a philisophical kind of book. I'm looking for a novel.

It was a joke.


Edit: It's nomadicfollower.

ok
then don´t read "God and the state"

Does she not realize who that is?

Maybe this.....

yeah when i saw it i was like what the hell is this? but i didn't want to be rude. Sorry about the name

Krastian my friend in highschool used to read nothing but Anne Rice books. I was always curious about them.

stephen king - despiration

It's good.....and should keep you occupied for awhile. She rules.

I was thinking of this a lot while driving through the emptiness of Utah and Nevada.

book club voting starts tomorrow

edit: TODAY!

I've changed my mind: Get The Sickness unto Death by Soren Kierkegaard. Word.

I was going to bumb that thread. Is there a new thread? Am I going blind???

No new thread. The old one died a slow death, but it was painless. I'll bump it, I guess. I fear there is a loss of interest.

I've not seen any other 'members'. Though, I'm too sure who is a member, and who is not.

Check the book club thread.

Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

I enjoyed "Transmission" by Hari Kunzru. It is entertaining, intellectually stimulating and can be read in a pretty short period of time. I think I read it in 2 days.

**THE GAME OF LIFE definitely! (by Timothy Leary..)

My four favorite books are all so cliche:
The Brothers Karamazov
Catch-22
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Alice in Wonderland


Alice is Wonderland is a fast read and is really really well written. I'd suggest reading Alice in Wonderland and Catch-22 this summer if you have not Laila.

ugh i had to read that for school in 10th grade.

I've read alice in wonderland....a long long time ago.

Read anything by Vonnegut except Galapagos.

I like Megan McCafferty. It's the two teenage books I can actually relate to.

[url]http://community.livejournal.com/hipsterbookclub[/b] has a lot of reccomendations and stuff.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

CRIME & PUNISHMENT

Best book I have ever read.

Thomas the Train series should probably keep you occupied for a few months.

Small Holdings by Nicola Barker. Awesome. All of her stuff is cool, but Small Holdings is a pinnacle.

"The Alchemist"
Paulo Coelho

"Dharma Bums"
Kerouac

Greatest book ever!!!:D

i love that book! great memories
