Weapon X Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Well, I know some of you Americans are enjoying football and turkey, but the holidays are coming up? I hope you have or are planning to crack that gigantic biography of Chekov soon. Last week, I read Farley Mowat’s Walking The Land. I thought it was a very good expose on the Canadian government fucking around with the Inuit people. It was very depressing and disturbing, to say the least. Half the book is reading about starvation and mothers burying their children. Right now I’m reading Ernest Hemingway’s Men Without Women. It is a collection of 14 short stories written, I think, earlier on in his career. So, what book are you reading? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunm Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 ^^ Choke is good but certainly not CHuck's best. That'd have to be Lullaby. I would say FIght CLub but that's just too cliched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xeroshoes Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I just read The Sound and the Fury...quite possibly the best book I have ever read, next to The Brothers Karamazov. Now I'm reading Crime and Punishment... I think the translation on my copy is questionable, although I did only pay $2.40 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathoræ Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 aww yea... the Sound and the Fury... indeed, the best book I've ever read. Nice choice... Starting in on Hesse's Demian (pleasure), and Fredrick Douglas' narrative (school)... After that it's on to Jonathan Franzen's "The Corrections"...

EyeforAnEYE Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 If you want a good comedic book check out The zombie survival guide: complete protection from the living dead. funny, and its always good to know how to fend those damn zombies when the day of reckoning comes. :zombie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeroshoes Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Originally posted by bathoræ Starting in on Hesse's Demian Nice, I'm all about Hesse. I just recently read Steppenwolf, Siddhartha, and The Journey to the East, but I haven't read Demian yet. Steppenwolf and Siddhartha were both interesting...but after reading them The Journey to the East just let me down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathoræ Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Demian is ok so far... it's small and I'm only about 20 pages in I've read both Steppenwolf and Siddhartha... Steppenwolf is second only to Sound and the Fury... what an awesome book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
