Which Book Impressed You The Most?

I can take a hint

 

It reads like a Bible, as it is a history of the elves..

 

Yup， people feel after knowing after always.

 

Now that you mention it, I once read the whole Bible as well (maybe skipped a psalm or 2 but nothing else) and I suppose it could make the top 5 if i think of what books impressed me the most.

 

THE UNQUIET GRAVE, By Palinurus (aka Cyril Connolly)

It's a key book. He often refers to other books and thus the reader has a bibliography to track down. I re-read it every few years.

and while I'm here - in Ireland we don't say TIE-rone (for Tyrone) - We say (County) Tirone (it's the 'rone' part that we emphasise. Puleeze tell that to the
basketball players in the projects and those who name them.

I aso hear Americans say 'DONNY-gill (for Donegal), when the accepted pronunciation is DUNNY-GALL

Kilroy: He's been wanting to say that for Lo, these many years.

 

Usually the last thing I read. I'm very impressionable. I was recently astounded by a biography of the French Surrealist poet and playwright Antonin Artaud. Poor chap spent years in a psychiatric hospital and had dozens of electro-shock therapy episodes. Was also a heavy heroin user. His vision was violent and confrontational, finding fullest expression in his "Theatre of Cruelty". Nutter.

 

That is so cool

 

Which books impressed you the most and which books are your favorites can obviously differ

 

Stranger in a strange land .
LOTR .
The Hobbit .
Huck Finn .
The water Babies .
Swiss Family Robinson .
The onion eaters .
The ginger man .
The Nightland .
on the road.

These are just a few that really impressed me

 

Huckleberry Finn That book is hilarious. I remember my ex-girlfriend thinking I was a weirdo for finding it so amusing. Not saying I was amused by slavery...Mark Twain is just really funny.

 

You should get an endurance medal or something :book:

When I tried to read it all, I got about as far as Judges and skipped ahead to the NT. Probably it would have to be in the top 5 just because it's been so influential in western culture for so long.
Too long some would say..............

 

That what I was thinking too! I've never heard anyone reading the whole bible :alien:
Could it be that he is lying...?

 

I don't think he's lying.

 

This is what I find weird

I heard it several times. Often people only read like one page a day so it takes years but they do it.

 

I think that's a really cool answer.

 

I read the Whole new testament when I was eight Because my mum bought it for my birthday and I thought it must be important
never understood a word of it ( what the fucks a Begat ?? )

I still have it (the book ) it says

To Malcolm on your eighth Birthday
Love Mum and Dad

Violence, Blunders, and Fractured Jaws. Advance awareness techniques and street etiquette. By Marc "Animal" MacYoung

 

I begat you

I don't think the bible was ever meant to make sense, it says in there the angels were to confuse our culture and language as punishment and all a sudden people are begatting other people.

Rings of truth!
