March 19, 200917 yr Joyce, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man EDIT: The Hemingway and Ballard are both great, too. La lune ne garde aucune rancune.
March 19, 200917 yr I reject your reality and substitute my own. Danielewski, House of Leaves Command the Murderous Chalices! Drink ye harpooners! drink and swear, ye men that man the deathful whaleboat's bow- Death to Moby Dick!BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
March 19, 200917 yr wow ive only read two of those (Huck Finn and Beowolf) In fairness I have to advise Beowolf since its the only one I have read, and it seems like you are asking this for some type of project I have heard good things about slaughterhouse 5 though so make of that what you will. Orthodoxy is unconciousnessthe only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed.
March 19, 200917 yr All Quiet on the Western Front was an amazing book. Vienna Raszyn Warsaw Klushino
March 19, 200917 yr Beowulf is pretty good. We read it this year. Though my favorite (on that list, and of all books I've read) is The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. Cenin pân nîd, istan pân nîd, dan nin ú-cenich, nin ú-istach.Ithil luin eria vi menel caran...Tîn dan delu.
March 19, 200917 yr All Quiet on the Western Front was an amazing book. Agreed. We read part of that in History last year before we got the [wagon] teacher. It was the part were the guy hides in the foxhole and stabs the guy that falls in, then promises to help his family out. Stephen King, The Green Mile Stephen King, The Dark Half Jack London, The Call of the Wild Too annoying as hell to type alias, Series of Unfortunate Events series Get back here so I can rub your butt.
March 19, 200917 yr The only one I've read original and in full is Dune. And I did like it. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream
March 19, 200917 yr The only thing I've read from that whole list is Anne of Green Gables. It was pretty good, but that was ages ago that I last read it. I've tried to read the LoTR series, but for whatever reason I just can't. :P I never get past this one certain point in it. I LOVE reading though. I have a LOT of books, just none that are on there. :P Wheel of Time, Twilight saga, the Inheritance sage (Eragon, etc.), Silverwing/Sunwing/Firewing/Darkwing... I realise this may be off topic but I really like talking about my books. :XD:
March 19, 200917 yr :| I don't think I've read any of those. But I did issue out the Kite Runner today :) 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!
March 19, 200917 yr I've only read around 7 of those, but Slaughterhouse 5 was easily my favourite of them. It's probably my favourite Vonnegut book also.
March 19, 200917 yr The Three Musketeers is the only one I enjoyed throughout the entirety of the book of all you mentioned. so i herd u liek devarts?If you look at me and feel offended by my 666-ism,think.I could be just as offended by your "cross".[hide=This's why I'm hot]The Eleventh Commandment:Thou Shalst only say "Amen,brother".Amen, brother :lol:Amen, brudda (referring to the 10th commandment)amen Bruder! (german ftw)I'm invulnerable to everything, except Lenin and Dragoonson.That's impossible. I love people.[/hide]
March 19, 200917 yr MY dad tried to get me to read watership down a few years ago (probably 2-4) Never really got into it, and I dont really remember much about it. 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!
March 19, 200917 yr J.D. Sallinger's "The Catcher in the Rye" is the best book I've read thus far. I've read it five times now and each time I've taken something different out of it. I'm hoping Sallinger is writing a whole bunch of novels/personal things to be read after his death, or just before.
March 19, 200917 yr tl'dr. MADAME BOVARY. YES. I have all the 99s, and have been playing since 2001.

March 19, 200917 yr I give my vote to Steinbeck - East of Eden Though all of these are pretty great. It looks like a list straight from an AP Lit. class. What is it for? I don't claim to have read all of them, but to give you a bit of perspective on my opinion, I've read: Steinbeck, East of Eden; Austen, Pride and Prejudice; Twain, Huckleberry Finn; Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights; Dumas, The Three Musketeers; Knowles, A Separate Peace; Martel, Life of Pi; I've also heard reports from a number of people who've read many others on the list, and all of the books on this list are pretty high quality literature.
March 19, 200917 yr East of Eden by Steinbeck gets my vote. Dune is also an amazing book. "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder."
March 19, 200917 yr Mine would be Incarceron by Catherine Fisher Divine Forces | #DF on irc.seersirc.net | Most Motivated | http://rs-df.com/forums
March 19, 200917 yr Someone seems to have been sent home from class with a reading list :D. Most of these are classics, can't really go very wrong with any of them. (Although, Morrison's Beloved: UGH). Some of the ones I liked: (in bold those I'd happily force-feed on anyone) Flaubert, Madame Bovary Austen, Pride and Prejudice, Emma Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights McEwan, Atonement Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises Adams, Watership Down Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables Tolkien, Lord of the Ring Series [bleep]ens, Stoker, Hardy and Joyce are also worth your while and quite possibly a bit more manly than the books from the above selection :.
