Ishmael

i just finished this amazing book by Daniel Quinn.
if you haven't read it, i seriously recommend it!

any comments?

 

Thank you jesus for putting this book into my awareness. Im picking it up ASAP. Telepathic Gorilla...IM THERE!

I like your taste Organic Psychonaut, if youve got the time i'd love for you to post your top 10 books in my thread. Im looking to rapidly expand my limited book collection.

Thanks again

to be honest, i don't think i've read enough books to have a top ten list!! the only other book i've read that i reaally liked, was The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straubb. that's definitely second favourite, next to Ishmael.

thanks for your appreciation AfricaUnite

 

Hmm I never got into Stephen King, but I did order Ishmael from the library, if its half as good as I think a book about conversations with a gorilla will be then I'll pick it up at amazon. Thanks again for the tip off, I may never have found this book otherwise.

 

oh, i think you'll enjoy it. and you're very welcome, i'm glad i could help!

 

Great book! I've read this one, along with his others (My Ishmael, The Story of B, Providence, Beyond Civilization..). He's a great author. Great to see another reader.

 

oh yeah, after reading Ishmael, i got so stoked for reading his other books! and i still am, because i have yet to find them.

 

Liked it. Loved My Ishmael


also the story of B was great!

 

I've read it too.. I started "My Ishmael" but found that it was basically the same thing only with a kid character so I sent it back to the library early.

 

hm, i think it would be interesting to have the same story, but a kid instead of a man. kids think a lot differently than adults, for sure.

 

Just got it today from amazon.ca, read the first 5 chapters, looks promising. Thanks again Organic Psyconaut!

 

woo! once again, glad to help

 

I never made it all the way through Ishmael because of school, sports, etc. but I did read My Ishmael for a class in high school and thought it was an excellent book.
