I'm reading Don Quixote at the moment... sometimes funny, sometimes boring, but it's a good book overall.

Any Hemingway fans in here? The Old Man and the Sea is No. 1 on my list followed by Brave New World, 1984, Who Moved My Cheese?, and Think and Grow Rich.

Currently reading A Movable Feast.

Guys, i need a name of a book, novel that a friend has read when he was a child, and he needs the title.

It's about father and son in Calabria, it's series of events the father has lived, and is telling the son as a lesson. It's kinda of their last talk in Calabria...

ANyone has any information? Much appreciated.

Second time I finish 'Do androids dream of electric sheeps?' Amazing book. It's short but 100% recommended, specially if you like cyberpunk. Now, I'll continue Lost Civilizations from Austen Atkinson.

You know the great thing? When you read Moby Dick the second time, Ahab and the whale become good friends!

I'm just reading this now. And that book is spectacular, brilliant and hilarious. Very very good read.




And I'm reading Count of Monte Cristo now

lol so many classics mentioned, and people actually liking Dan Brown books in the same breath :trollol:

I'm reading Robin Hobb - The Dragon Keeper right now, altho very slowly, just to pass time at work
I would recommend Martin (a song of ice and fire, on HBO the series is named Game of Thrones), but I guess I recommended him a million times already now, so maybe I actually hyped at least one person for it

the last book I've read was A Scanner Darkly by Dick, and I was surprised (when I watched the movie), that I enjoyed the movie more than the book. this almost never happens, but it did. good stuff tho

Anyone use one of those E-Readers? My mother and brother both have one and they seem to come in handy when you're travelling/cheap.

 

[wera]

Anybody have a good version of one thousand one nights? All the versions i've looked at on amazon have been fairly shitty T.T

Currently I'm reading Kafka. [it's a compilation of "The Trial" / "Metamorphosis", which I already read, and many of his short stories]

The last book I read was Heller's "Catch 22" and the next one on my list is Milan Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Being".

Franc Kafkas "trial" is the most fucked up shit I have read it was like a bad dream, all the time I was like fuck that stop that , don't do that

Too bad it was never really finished [I mean it has a gaping hole in the plot before they come and take him away]. Really similar in many aspects to Catch-22 in a way so it was a nice transition for me reading the two b2b.

I won't ever read a book like that ever again tbh, that was some disturbing shit
