Im Reading My Brothers Old College Book, Communication : Principles For a LifeTime. I dont know these books became instreting after i got out of school

i just finished Wuthering Heights yesterday, i need to find something new to pick up...

well, i just picked up Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, which is Emily Bronte's (author of Wuthering Heights) sister...

Democracy in America, by Tocqueville, a must read for every American

Abadawn, after "Jane eyre"

you should check out "Catcher in the rye" by J.D Salinger

or "Grapes of wrath" by steinbeck

2 other classics for your collection.

it's roald you douche.

a sick book is "all quiet on the western front" by Erich Maria Remarque. if you don't know what it's about, it's a story of a german soldier on the front lines during the first world war. it's some really hard core shit, it was written in 1928 and is a classic beyond any doubt (english translations are easy to find). you won't look at war the same again after you've read this one.

if any of you cats like 1984, two books with the same type of idea are "the giver" by Lois Lawry and "Brave New World" by aldous huxley.

I was going to refer those, Brave New World =




Catcher in the Rye is definitely on my list of things that i must read, i've heard good things about it...

I don't know about Grapes of Wrath, i've been told it's good but i'm not too fond of Steinbeck, basically it's because Of Mice and Men didn't really strike me as too good a book, but oh well...we'll see.

"Finding Freedom" by Jarvis Masters.

It was written in San Quentin penitentiary. About a dude who turns into a buddhist and peacemaker n shit. Its good.

you fucker should all check out Amos tutola....might be very odd but fucking original and brillant writer and story teller...check out everything about him....i promise no one will be disapointed..unless you're an ignorant bastard.

So did you like them? I'm impressed - not many guys would pick those up for fun.

invisible man - ralph ellison

Alice in wonderland was written entirely on LSD. I remember in another thread I spoke about the different effects of acid and books, and the combination of both and I got attacked by most ppl lol The fact is a lot of great books are written under the influence of hallucinogens or opiates.

Where did you hear that?

The Rose That Grew From Concrete.

A collection of poetry written by the rapper between 1989 and 1991, before he became famous. The poems are passionate, sometimes angry, and often compelling. Selections are reproduced from the originals in Shakur's handwriting, personalized by distinctive spelling and the use of ideographs (a drawing of an eye for I, etc.), and complete with scratch outs and corrections. With the exception of "In the Event of My Demise," all of the pieces are accompanied by typed text, which leaves his spelling intact. Some poems are also accompanied by his drawings. A few black-and-white photographs appear throughout. A preface by Shakur's mother, a foreword by Nikki Giovanni, and an introduction by his manager, Leila Steinburg, in whose writing group the poems were written, complete this unique volume.

My favorite book is Les Miserables by Victor Hugo.

End Times from the Islamic point of view. We always hear about the Christian view so this looks fresh and seems like there are parallels to each other.

I want to read this one. On Amazon.com it got 5 stars average rating.

Last book I finished was "The Pimp's Bible"..

I've started and am almost to the halfway point in "The Outfit"..

mr.nice, howard marks.....good book..peep it

i also like a lot of zora neale hurston and alice walker. plus i like reading books that movies are based on, just to see the differences between the two.

The republic-plato and irrational man-william barrett...both good books republic was hard to get into but is a nice read now.....irrational man has some really nice long parts on hebraism and hellenism.. the testimony of modern art....its all good anyways nice read gives me something to think about work.
