| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Feb. 01  | I am just finishing up Black Jack the biography of Black Jack (John J.) Pershing. I just got done reading Lawrence the Uncrowned King of Arabia & Truman. I'm on a big biography kick now, though I breezed through Luciano's Luck by Jack Higgins on the 4th of July. Is my train in vain, has my soul gone to waste Am I just a victim of, a victim of my lost faith | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | I've been in the French buzz for about 2 years now... I'm reading Cyrano de Bergerac ((almost done)) and Les Miserables is on the table. But right now I'm stuck on Catch-22. ((For the record -- Sorry, I REALLY don't like that band [Catch-22 Tools]-- the one guy is now a band teacher at the high school))

| Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01 | Hey Ikea- "Lot 49" was so fucking sick. What an incredible piece of writing. Thanks for bringing it up, you sure brought a smile to my face tonight!! & b4 I forget- the Dune series, by Frank, and then his son James, Herbert-incredible, speculative, futuristic Sci-Fi-writing- Seriously, none more gooder. At the point I just gave up reading the "Dune" series out of sheer exhaustion a few years ago, I believe there were 8 books in the series. So amazing.. I canot stress this enough...

| Psychopath Registered: Apr. 01 | This thread needs a Fahrenheit 451 thrown in for good measure...LOL! Jeeez...leave it to Claire to bring up the author I'm reading right now (dated), Bill Bryson's, A Walk in the Woods. Detailed, very funny journal- type of book about a man's goal to walk the whole length of the Appalachian (sp) Trail. Great, light stuff. Ahhh...Heinlein. Check out, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress...I couldn't put it down recently. Puppet Masters was good, too...oh, and so was Number of the Beast...and so was... | ||||

He has another book out there called "The One Minute Manager" His books are pretty good reading for the subway.

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | Have to agree with you there Wounded Angel. I thought F451 is too overrated, not that great and not nearly equaling 1984 in characters, concepts, deepness, subtlety, characters, etc. When I read Fahrenheit I wasn't impressed, when I read 1984 it was really one of those books that affects you. I haven't read Traumanovelle though I own it in a double book thing along with the script to Eyes Wide Shut. The narrator in Fight Club is the man we will be, Patrick Bateman in American Psycho is the man we want to be Eliza Dushku- Hotter Than Britney | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: May. 00 | If you want to read something that will freak you out. Read "fast food nation". You might heard about back. ONCE YOU READ THIS YOU WILL NEVER EAT AT A FAST FOOD AGAIN! If you read "The Jungle" by Uptown Sinclair. You will feel just as sick. I also read "Nickel and Dimed" by Barbra Enrnrich. The author decides to work as a waitress, maid, wal mart associtate, and a hotel housekeeper. She moves to three diffrent cities trying to surrive only on those min wage jobs with out using her savings revealing what she really does, writing. Very interesting commenatary. Does any know of any more good investigative jouralism books. --Lent, the poster formerly known as Rowelentless-- | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | quote:WAngel, Traumnovelle is really nothing special. If you've seen Eyes Wide Shut, you've virtually read the book - Kubrick transferred the story to the screen almost exactly (unlike The Shining), except he made it modern day. It's an extremely short book that's only worth reading if you enjoyed the film.  "How 'bout a little less asking questions, and a little more shut the hell up?" | ||||
