You can say it's fucking excellent, but probably not advisable to lend to your Dad afterwards...

i want to read one of the big books now. i'm sick of reading ones no one has ever heard of.

'catcher in the rye', '1984' or 'catch 22' - which should i read next?

catch 22 is the only one that's funny but its also pretty long

never got into catch 22, i'll have an epiphany one day i guess. the other two, doesn't matter really, i would read catcher in the rye first then 1984, that would make a lovely contrast!

i just bought the shephard fairey cover version of 1984 and animal farm, coz i love those books and obey rocks.
sweet.

yeah thats sick, obey is awesome

Just finished Catch 22, took about 200 pages for me to get into it, but it's really worth it if you perservere. also i think it's a book that gets better the more times you read it, because there are so many characters, and the plot is constantly jumping back and forth through time.

after that read 1984, bleak but brilliant

also just about to read Concrete Island by J G Ballard which should be interesting

i thought catch 22 was dire, personally. dunno what all the fuss is about

walden II by b.f. skinner. only like a quarter of the way in, good so far

Sleazy paronoid serial killing in Japan
What more do you want from a novel. Marvellous

stirring conscience at a time that I'm anti-armaments:
Hidden Agendas: John Pilger
simultaneously, wanting a good read & feeling poetic:
The Book Of Disquiet : Fernando Pessoa (native of Britain's oldest ally)

just bought on a 3 for 2 in waterstones:

The Corner by the people who wrote the wire
Matter by ian banks
and
The Road by Cormac Mc Carthy

at the moment I'm reading Oblivion by David Foster Wallace, I've never read any of his before, and from this book I don't know what all the fuss is about, I'm thinking of abandoning it halfway through, I donno.

Just read Christopher Reeve's "Nothing is Impossible", excellent recommendation.

Currently shifting through a pile of books:

Hidden Truth: Forbidden Knowledge by Dr Steven Greer
Kahlil Gibran "The Collected Works of.."
James Allen "As a Man Thinketh"
Anthony Robbins "Unlimited Power"

The dark Murakami has a sick mind!

Anyone read Requiem for a Dream by Hubert Selby Jr? One of my favourite books of all time! Movie is wicked too.

The Road.
Dark as.
