Recommend me (or someone else) a book

EMMAh · 10.06.2006, 05:30 PM

I've got 25 bucks to spend at Chapters and have no clue what to buy.
I like books about:
doggies
drugs
crazy people
people with fucked up ideas
I'll think of more later.

You know the drill...

Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky
The Trial by Franz Kafka
The Plague by Albert Camus

those are my three favourite books, at the moment at least. I'm assuming you've read On the Road, but you need to if you havent.

Perfume BY Patrick Suskind is what i've been reading. The main character is pretty crazy

Pookie · 10.06.2006, 05:46 PM

Diary of a Madman by Gogol (short story) about a crazy man and features a dog! And it's great.

Oh yeah, lots of crazy in those books!

Maldoror by Lautréamont... one of my favourite books, maybe my favourite... it probably features some dogs at some point...

The Trail isn't really a pleasure read though (neither is Dostoevsky or Camus (even if they are good books in other respects)))...I'd suggest something else...
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is where it's at, if I know you (which I probably don't). In fact, any of Thompson's novels.
Douglas Adam's for some fun. Maybe even a William Gibson novel.
Or get a non-fiction book on a musical genre or band.

well, yeah, but if you want something to think about, then go for those. The Trial is actually a really easy read, so is the Plague to an extent. Crime and Punishment is a little more difficult though.

Have you read On the Road emma?

Danny Himself · 10.06.2006, 06:01 PM

You will love this book, Emmah. I did.

I didn't think The Trail was that easy...at least grasping the meaning of it (which I fear I missed),

I love Fear and Loathing. I wanna read The Rum Diary but I'm not going to buy that cause my friend has it.

No, I haven't. I couldn't really understand the info I read on it though, what's it about?

You can always check out the books mentioned here from the library for FREE

If you must purchase a book, I recommend this:

Mix Tape: The Art of Cassette Culture
by Thurston Moore

http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin/image...sbn=0789311992

I don't Ebay, momma works at a bank and sees too much fraud.
