gatita Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 I dont really have a favorite author, I wish I could say I did... well, a lot of Sophocles plays do it for me.. Im a big Antigone and Oedipus fan.. But I do have many favorite books. Books I'd recommend: AHWOSG by Dave Eggers, High Fidelity by Nick Hornby, Bodega Dreams by Ernesto Quinonez, Slaughter House Five by Kurt Vonnegut. Right now Im reading My Less Than Secret Life by Jonathan Ames. Hilarious memoir. Im stuck on it like glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamblersGrin Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 highly influenced by nietzsche's "human, all too human," william s. burroughs, cormac mccarthy, the poetry of langston hughes and stephen crane (i recommend picking up both of their complete poetry works), henry miller's "quiet days in clichy," jack kerouac, poetry of william carlos williams is amazing, kafka's diaries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody buy their books used? It's really fun hunting books and getting your book for quarters as appose to hard cash.

rental Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Originally posted by SeYnO9 It's really fun hunting books and getting your book for quarters as appose to hard cash. word. i wish i did more. i havent bought a non school book myself since..fuck, i couldnt even tell you. but i stare longingly at the used bookstore whenever i drive by one. actually i bought that life 100 photographs that changed the world, but that was with a gift certificate i got. man, i couldnt even tell you a favorite of anything. ive read all my books so many times. i like 95 percent of the ones on my shelf. and ive probably read most of the ones i like at least six times. *however, its summer right now, and when i have free time in the summers i read my anne of green gables books. super good. but most boys would think theyre too girly though. theyre really well written and have a lot of social commentary in them. maybe i should see if i have a fine on my public card and start that again. ehh...
