Last book you've read

[monk3y]

I've just picked up Prey by Michael Crichton. Reviews say it isn't too great a book but I enjoy most of his books.

What have you been reading?

 

I'm currently making my way through On The Road by Jack Kerouac. It's great.

I want to read Joseph Heller's Catch-22 this summer too. And some others, but I haven't decided which ones yet.

Anything by Dan Brown. My personal fav is Angels and Demons. The pre-quel to The Divinci Code.

 

[TitanDiddly]

In the middle of "Citizen of the Galaxy" by Robert Heinlein.

 

[JustAnAverageGuy]

To Kill a Mockingbird. Fairly good book.

If I had to recommend any book, it would be The Long Walk by Richard Bachman (aka Stephen King)
It was the most fvck up thing I have ever read and haunted me for days. Totally disturbing.

After that, I would have to say... the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant by Stephen R. Donaldson. Read them years and years ago. A great read.

Both excellent reads.

I've just finished "The Hanged Man's Song" by John Sandford, for the second time in as many months, and wish there were more out there in this sub-genre. It's the third or fourth in a series by this author. Set-up: painter/hacker uses his skills to track evildoers at great risk to self. If you know of anything similar, I'd love to hear about it.

i suggest you simply read catch-22 over and over and over again.

I last read Hell's Angels by Hunter S. Thompson. Before that I read another of his books, Songs of the Doomed Vol. 3. Right now I'm reading The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway.

I recommend Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, I haven't read it myself but after reading two of Thompson's books I can't wait to read what most call a classic and by far his best work. He is really a fantastic writer with some interesting stories to tell.

Yes! I read that last year, loved it. I ended up changing my SN to JackKerouac and now have a poster of him over my bed. Just picked up The subterraneans. So far, so good.

For light reading, I liked all of the books by Nelson Demille You can read some of the first chapters from his books on his website, see if they interest you.

Just saw on his website that he wrote a cheesy looking series under the pseudonym Jack Cannon. Might have to check out some used book stores see if I can dig those up.
