I dont read as much as i should...but this book is really good.

 

Tom Robbins
Abbie Hoffman
Hunter S. Thompson
Oscar Wilde
Timothy Leary
Mark Twain
Ernest Hemmingway

 

I personally dont like steinbeck..... I liked reading Angels and Demons and Unlocking the Davinci Code.... not for religious purposes but for the mystery... that and Where the Wind Blows by James Patterson and the First to Die series...

1984 - George Orwell

All Quiet on the Western Front - Erich Maria Remarque
Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger
Death of a Salesman - Arthur Miller
Ethan Frome - Edith Wharton
The Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck
The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Hobbit - J.R.R. Tolkien
Light in August - William Faulkner
The Lord of the Flies - William Golding
Moby Dick - Herman Melville
The Odyssey - Homer
The Red Badge of Courage - Stephen Crane
Romeo and Juliet - William Shakespeare
The Scarlet Letter - Nathanial Hawthorne
A Seperate Peace - John Knowles
A Streetcar Named Desire - Tennessee Williams
The Sun Also Rises - Ernest Hemingway
A Tale of Two Cities - Charles Dickens
To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte

 

oh yeah... Orwell is great.


*orgasm*... oooo... they're playing CSN on Steal This Book... it's on channel 513 (moremax) for directv people...

 

THAAAAAAAAANK YOU DEREK!!!!!

thats PERFECT..

and i've even read some of them :H ahhahaha

 

Now, do you mean "The Da Vinci Code" or the book ABOUT "The Da Vinci Code"?
I ask because you mention another Dan Brown book.

Oh, and just for you Meg, I really enjoyed "Be Here Now" by Ram Dass, but not everyone will enjoy it, IMO.

 

You could also check out:
Margaret Atwood (I have a feeling you might like the Handmaid's Tale, but maybe I'm just biased coz that's one of my all time fave books... But yea, anyway... it's amazing!)
Fjodor Dostojevski (it takes a while to get into him, but once you do.. wowzie. Crime and Punishment is an amazing book)
Paulo Coelho
Kurt Vonnegut
Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting especially!)
Victor Hugo
Leo Tolstoy

And of course J.D. Salinger, William Burroughs, Charles Bukowski, Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, if you're into the beat literature.

And definitely check out the ones people have already mentioned. Great books!

 

Anyone here like Philip K. Dick? Hell blow your mind.

hairstyles of the damned

you can real Go Ask Alice too..it's okay..maybe you'll like it more than i did..

 

I'd recommend checking out some John Irving. Both "The World According to Garp" and "A Prayer for Owen Meany" are amazing novels.

 

Its part of my schools set texts, and it sucks....its too short and basic....

 

Read John Grisham because he is the greatest author of all time, also read Harlen Cobens "Myron Bolitar" series because they own

 

John Grisham is overrated best seller rack shite.

 

Subterraneans by Kerouac!

That's what I'm reading right now... last week I read Howl and Other Poems by Ginsberg 6 times.. it took me forever to understand what he was talking about.

 

omg... I forgot all about Jack Kerouac.

 

I don't like John Grisham at all. All his books are so similar and.. I dunno. Just not my cup of tea. But I guess there must be something good about them, coz they're all best sellers.

 

Why not just go to a bookstore, and get everybook that looks interesting? You can never read too much.
This is a good one.
