I liked Macbeth. It was the only Shakespeare book I've liked. And I don't know if I said Slaughter House 5 and Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut but I highly recommend them too.

Both added. And many thanks for including the author. It's time consuming to have to look them up...

I just finished reading Mayada-Daughter of Iraq: A womans survival under Saddam Hussein. I liked it and I recommend it, very interesting story and so sad.

I hated that book.
I'm sorry... I like it, its got some pretty interesting things to say. I haven't finished it yet, but I've never read anything like it. Its really unique. Another good book, which I had to read for a history class 2 years ago, and not exactly recreational reading but nonetheless really insightful, is Candide by Voltaire. It was written in the 1700s I think, but surprisingly not too hard to understand...I know I'm weird.

LIFE OF PI? *shudders* I hated that book. The only good thing about it was that the themes were religion and survival. This led to an absolutely amazing unit where we started off learning about the three religions featured in the book. Then we proceeded to watch the movie "Cast Away" and we got to play all sorts of survival games and have discussions about what we would and would not be willing to do to survive. It was amazingly fun, this was in Global Education English second semester of senior year...and further proof why globies have more fun...

I'm reading this book for one of my classes that is really interesting. Its called Life of Pi by Yann Martel. Its easily one of the best books I've read in a while...not that I read much.

anything by Dumas is excellent beyond the count of montecristo I'd reccommend the Three Musketeers and despite what amnestynow says The Red Badge if Courage is easily one of the best pieces of American Literature I have ever read Oh! The Cat Who... books! these are some of the best Murder Mysteries I have ever read! they're by Lillian Bruan as I recall...

quote: Yeah!
1984-George Orwell
All Steinbeck novels
Chuck Palahnuik books although those would probably be deemed inappropriate, especially Choke.
Cat's Cradle- Kurt Vonnegut
All Quiet on the Western Front
Slaughter House Five -Kurt Vonnegut
To kill a Mockingbird- Harper Lee
You don't Know Me- David Klass(Sp?)
the curious incident of the dog in the night-time- Mark Haddon
all the Dan Brown books.
Give me time I'll think of more.
I really like 1984 so far, but i read the last page and ruined the ending. I'm planning to start Cat's Cradle soon, but, somehow, I know the ending to that too. Do you think it is still worth reading? And, Kate, if you are into individualism, might I suggest the Anthem. quote: Red Badge Of Courage- Stephen Crane
Do not read the Red Badge of Courage. I'm glad Stephen Crane disappeared in the Mexican War.I like anything by Jane Austen... The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald Animal Farm by George Orwell is GREAT. one of my favorite books, but I'm into the socialist thing so.. |
