Favorite Book.

Never read Benn. Goethe's way easy to read and understand.
I'd say Goethe is easy, Dostoevsky's a bit more difficult. BUT Goethe's a bit boring, and Dostoevsky's interesting, so it kinda evens out

 

Good thing you forgot that one.

It's rather poorly written but is extremely combustible.

 

Tender is the Night;
The Rum Diary;
Cosmopolis;
Invisible Monsters;
The Rules of Attraction;
Jack Faust;
The Gun Seller;
In Watermelon Sugar;
On the Road;
The Switch;
Casino Royale;
1984;
The Hardest (Working) Man in Showbiz;
The Doors of Perception

 

I'm reading "Tender is the Night" right now and I am fucking hating it... can't stand the damn novels of mannerisms.

 

Strange, I fell in love with it rather quickly.

And I strongly preferred it to "The Great Gatsby" which was voted second best novel of the 20th Century by Modern Library.

 

i'm reading twilight right now, haha. i feel like such a girl reading it, but we're running out of books. if i had never seen the movie i don't think i'd have read this far into the book.

 

"The Great Gatsby" isn't that good either.

Neither are


Invisible Monsters;
The Rules of Attraction;
On the Road;
1984;
The Doors of Perception

For the matter.

 

So you read The Vizier's Elephant ?

 

Kill more infidels, read less Twilight.

I can't be more serious.

 

No.

I was hoping that you wouldn't ask.

 

at some points in this book i've wanted to scoop my own eyes out with a plastic spoon. it seemed less painful than reading on.

 

Isn't there some program that sends you guys books or something?

You could try reading on the internetz...

 

Ahahahahahaha ! I'm so glad I asked
I kinda feel good about myself now. Because I read something you didn't

 

Well, how come?

I know you can't stand Palahniuk and many Palahniuk haters also dislike Ellis but the others?

 

maybe.

pfft, fuck that. uke: the internet is for porn.... and hipforums.

 

I have several, but the first one that comes to mind is "Lonesome Dove" by Larry McMurtry.

 

Stolen Lives by Malika Oufkir. i cant read it enough times.

 

tales of the city by Armistead Maupin

 

"On the Road" is one of Kerouac's worst books.


"1984" is cool when you're 12.

Huxley is a pseudo-intellectual dumbass.

There you go.

 

Jane Eyre. It's a great story.

 

I've only read "Dharma Bums" besides "On the Road" and that was vastly inferior.

Ain't no chance in hell I could have gotten through "1984" when I was 12.

The Huxley statement sounds pretty dumb.

So there you blow?
