a clockwork orange im almost done ive got like 10 pages to go then im gonna start invisible monsters by chuck palahniuk

 

The Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle. Its funny, it makes you think "ooo, I'm so smart I'm reading Aristotle", but then as you're reading you're like, Damn, I suck! I'm such an unvirtuos bitch!

 

a clockwork orange is brilliant. both book and film alike.




i just finished reading a book called "Xenocide" by orson scott card i would highly recommend his works to anyone.


i just picked up "i know why the caged bird sings" by maya angelou[sp?]today. wouldn't be my type of book but i have to do it as a comparitive text for english. though i must admit...i'm liking it thus far.

 

nowhere man


(again, i kind of liked the book but mostly read it during classes when i was bored last semester, so i barely remember it)


alpha and omega

(liked his other book)


and believe it or not thats it at the moment. i can never read less than 3 or 4 books at a time. i'm too ADD. haha

 

Dharma bums, dont know if i already said this.

am i the only one that doesnt like Jack Kerouac's style of writing?
i find it to be somewhat boring

 

I'm re-reading a book I had read about five years ago, the autobiography of Patricia Hearst (they called her trial "the trial of the century"), and she tells about robbing banks, making cyanide bullets, blowing up police cars, and all that 1970s kind of stuff.

While the media hyped the SLA as a radical organization, it was really just a handful of misfits who were suicidal and wanted to kill a few people on their way out. In one shootout with police, more than nine THOUSAND rounds of ammunition was fired, and all six SLA people went down fighting.

I do, by the way, believe Hearst's side of the story. It's just crazy enough to be true.

The book is called... I forget, it's a re-release, the original title was "Every Secret Thing." It's very good, well worth a second read. I think the last of the SLA people was tracked down in Africa, and I think most of the rest of them that survived are free by now. Hearst was pardoned by President Clinton as he left office.

Link to the book title right

I'm re-reading The Catcher In The Rye, by J.D. Salinger.
I loved it before, and I love it now.

 

lol The Forums! hehe

no, seriously, I am not reading any books at the time....usually do that when I haven't anything else to do....haven't read a book in ages...can't seem to start a good one, but when I do I am glued to it!

 

"Do IT!" by Jerry Rubin

 

Hey! My sister is reading Big Sur right now. I am about halfway through The Inferno. It's like if Shakespeare, Robert Frost, and Hitler got together and wrote the Bible and then had it translated into a very difficult to read poem. But I suppose anyone's journey through hell would be a little heavy...

 

Oooo, the Inferno! That is next on my reading list after the Iliad. Its so cool how Virgil guides Dante through hell.

 

I just finished reading Jane Eyre...it's my friend's favorite book and he really wanted me to read it so I did...and I loved it! I thought it was great

 

Huxley's "Island", great buddist stuff there. Awesome stuff, except for a few details.

 

I'm reading Douglas Adams - Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy.. I love Douglas Adams! Salmon of a Doubt was an amazing read

 

thats one of my favorite books, and i think its because of his style of writing that i grew so fond of ray smith....i like kerouac's style, its unrefined and almost like he transcripted what happened and that is what drew me into the book and made it come alive in my mind.

 

all kinds of terry pratchett books...

 

Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda


Its sooo awesome!

 

i have that book on my book shelf....never got around to it myself.



a book on salvador dali and rediscovering the angels.

 

I´m reading "Ash wednesday" by Ethan Hawke. (in english actually!!)
