Nice . Good to see you come out of your literary shell.

I like the suggestion of 1984. Has anyone in this thread already read the book?

Let me throw out Enders Game as well?

Holds up hand, I've read 1984.

 

[SophiaGrace]

Okay, has anyone read Enders Game?

is Angle of Repose the name of a book?

 

[Adrolak]

I'd gladly share my copy of the communist manifesto with you, A.L.L. hehe

 

[SkuzzieMuff]

And while we're at it, let's read Mein Kampf!

I'm actually re-reading that right now.

Yeah, I figured that would have been read by some people here already.

I'm not sure if you're trolling again, but yes. It's a Pulitzer Prize-winning classic: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/292408.Angle_of_Repose

Marxism (goo).

 

[SophiaGrace]

I wasn't trolling that time. lol

 

[flaneur]

The book I wanted to nominate, The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes, was impossible to find as a free e-book, so my nomination is either American Pastoral by Phillip Roth or As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner. Or something else. I don't know!

I also want to know if The Good Citizen has any nominations. Any ideas, TGC?

 

[Lonely in BC]

And while we're at it, let's read Mein Kampf!

Not the most stimulating read- at least it isn't as boring as Perestroika- that was extremely boring.

If you do Stienbeck I'm in. He really knew how to flesh out his characters and I honestly feel his writings are relevant to today in light of the tanking of the economy the last couple of years. Besides, anyone who can come up with the "Palace Flophouse Bar and Grill" has to be cool!

 

[SophiaGrace]

Okay here's what's been nominated so far. We could create another thread with a poll.

• Twilight
• 1984 by George Orwel
• Angle of Repose
• Enders Game
• Communist Manifesto
• Mein Kampf
• American Pastoral
• As I Lay Dying
• Something Steinbeck has Written

I really don't want to read anything TOO hard. BEcause i'm in college and that zaps most of my brain-juice. btw, i don't want this to be too heady in general (as in the reading level), because I can just see myself taking forever with one book otherwise and getting bored with it.

At the moment i am re-reading Mein Kampf (audio book), and reading Sole Survivor by Dean Koontz.

I really really love horror. Anything horror, I will read.

 

[flaneur]

Yeah, we should probably stay away from something too dense so we don't alienate anyone. If The Good Citizen doesn't come back, we should definitely just read Haruki Murakami, which is an author TGC likes but has already read. Murakami is very popular but fairly discussable at the same time. Plus he uses the theme of love, which is bound to appeal to a forum for lonely people, lol!
