If you were to pick any 3 books that you either loved reading or best represent you, which 3 would you pick? Mine: Anne Frank's diary Shampoo Planet - Douglas Coupland Dharma Bums - Kerouac.
ohh.... nice thread! I would have to go with: Chapterhouse DUNE - Frank Herbet The Time Traveller's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger Trinity - Leon Uris
dharma bums - jack kerouac everything is illuminated / extremely loud and incredibly close - jonathan safran foer and i also really love harry potter
Love the thread 1. Less Than Zero - Brad Easton Ellis 2. Trainspotting - Irvine Welsh 3. A Clockwork Orange
dangerous vissions - anthology - harlen ellison editor the prophet - kalil gebran architecture without architects - black and white immagination inspireing eye candy. domebook three (inspiration from buckie), the last whole earth catalogue (the real hippie bible), woodbutcher's art (a colorful middle finger pointed at building codes, REAL 'hippie' houses). little railroads of the world (waaay out of date but imagination inspiring), nevada county narraw gauge railway - gerald m best (i grew up walking along it's abondond right of way), yv88 - not for swan's economics, but for what almost could have been and could still be, especialy when the oil runs out, and with a few minor chainges. ursula kroeber leguinne's always comming home. (after the starve off and the demise of cheep oil, but the city of the mind having become self maintaining and out of danger from human harm, a return to respect for the earth and dependence on it) hienline's strainger in a strange land of course and adam's 'guide' series =^^= .../\...
Hmmm....... represent me....... 1. Steppenwolf - Hermann Hesse 2. The Sorrows of Young Werther - Goethe and one that changed my life.... 3. The Doors of Perception - Aldous Huxley There are so many great books. Has anybody got any suggestions for me? I love Hesse, his style and language. I really like any book that makes you think without being boring or over-simplistic. Peace, Aidan.
Hmm, let's see.. 1. Fluke, by James herbert 2. Notes from a Small Island - Bill Bryson (although anything by him is good) 3. The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien (although this includes all the books in the same "universe" like the Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, etc).
I'm not much of a reader... in fact I've only read books for school, not for pleasure. But I would have to say these, and in this order: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon Driver's Ed by Caroline B. Cooney 1984 by George Orwell
My choose for this year are: #1~Living on Purpose #2~Letting Go of the Person You Used to Be and very recently got #3~ The Caravan
