thecarwreck Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I can only pick up like 5 titles in there. List of titles, or at least your favorites? Yeah New York Trilogy is on deck, for some reason I'm working backwards. Cell phone pic... sorry about that... more for sheer weight of pages than anything. The whole list is a page or so back, but the best stuff I found was: Breece Pancake "Stories of" Sherman Alexie "Lone Ranger..." + really anything he's written James Baldwin "Going to Meet the Man" (esp. "Sonny's Blues" because it is so damn good) Herman Melville "Billy Budd and Stories" (make sure "Bartleby" is in there, though) Jack London in general Tillie Olsen "Tell Me A Riddle" (sad sad stuff) Hemingway "Men without Women" (umm, /nh?) Degoberto Gilb "The Magic of Blood" John Raymond "Livability" Ralph Ellison "Flying Home and Other Stories" Bonnie Jo Campbell "American Salvage" A lot of stuff... nerd out.

laughslast Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 seen the persepolis movie (with subtitles). i was hesitant to read the books (theres a persepolis 2 also) because of the comic strip form. but then again i want to read maus, and thats in comic strip form too. I would definitely read persepolis if you are interested in the maus book. the comic strip form makes it a super chill read and a good coffee table or bathroom book. i looked up that maus book seems pretty good. let know if you pick it up and how it is. currently reading this: not too far along. just read the section on exclusion of women. pretty interesting because i am taking a political philosophy course right now and just finished aquinas and augustine. super easy read to kind of pass the time.

Fist 666 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 plus it [blood meridian] continues to draw me in, i'm really getting into it now that the characters are being developed more. it has such a sinister undertone to it. and without being graphic. great stuff. wat?

{OneSevenNine.com} Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 Cell phone pic... sorry about that... more for sheer weight of pages than anything. The whole list is a page or so back, but the best stuff I found was: Sherman Alexie "Lone Ranger..." + really anything he's written I agree 100%. I have seen him read before, his sense of humor is classic. I have owned several copies of Lone Ranger and Tonto Fist Fight in Heavan and I always end up giving it away with the hopes that someone will enjoy it as much as I do. Reservation Blues was amazing as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iloveboxcars Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 why boycott reading? sounds like an awful idea because man, we were reading before it became cool, and now were so sick of all these hipsters reading just because it's cool.
