But i read about 10-15 books a month so it changes fast.


...Is that the same Lolita that was banned by countries for portraying pedophilia?


Yes sir, admittedly it may be a questionable title, but for that very reason i feel the need to read it. To personally confirm or unconfirm how bad it is.

I have an actual copy, was a little expensive but it's very good.


For some reason I had no idea Danielewski had done anything besides House of Leaves.

Did you read Only Revolutions? Is it good? I ask as a staunch defender of House of Leaves.


It's nowhere near as good as House of Leaves, nor is The Fifty Year Sword. House of Leaves just is the best one by him imo. But it's still decent.

Al-Quada and the Road to 9/11 - Very insightful into Al-Quada and how it got started. Also talks about Sayyid Qutb and how his writings influenced Bin Laden. Talks about Bin Ladens family to some extent as well and how they were viewed in Saudi society. I'm not saying I agree with what they do but after reading this, I can sorta see things from their perspective.

Reading Now:

The Prince - Well, it's interesting. Alot of the examples in the book is shit I have never heard of though.

Reading Next:
Dunno yet. Probably about time I started this:

My brother introduced me to Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Game" and loved it. His second story in the 'Ender's Saga', "Speaker for the Dead" is a bit hard to get in to, but I am still reading through it. + Show Spoiler +
To be honest, the only thing that really kept me interested so far were any parts related to Ender, who is still alive.
I plan to read through all books in Ender's Saga after having enjoyed the first so much, even if the second took a while to become interested in.

My next target will be acquiring the sequel book to Daniel Suarez's "Daemon", called "Freedom".

I recommend both author's first in series books from how much I have enjoyed them, but recommendations for the next in sequence are still TBD depending on how much I find I like them.

Hehe, that is where my name comes from

As for me, I just finished Huck Finn (meh), I am currently on Catcher in the Rye (very good so far, Holden is an interesting character for sure and I can relate to him a lot)

My next book is Slaughterhouse 5, I am on a classics streak right now :D

I didn't like it, try his free novella Zombiecorns first. It was surprisingly good, I liked it much better than Looking for Alaska

This is my first post in this thread, but I'm digging it. I'm an English major (a senior) with a Creative Writing minor (would have got with Pro. Writing but could not fit it into my schedule and CW credits count as electives and requirements! ) and have read a book a week for 17 years.

For pleasure reading, I stick to horror. I'm usually reading a book per class (6 classes) at a time and get burnt out quickly when I spent 5 hours a day reading, 5 analyzing and researching.

Purchases of the day:
The Pilo Family Circus - Will Elliot
Bullet Through Your Face - Edward Lee
The Devil Next Door - Tim Curran
Whargoul - Dave Brockie
Heart-Shaped Box - Joe Hill
Song of Kali - Dan Simmons
Dark Harvest - Norman Partridge
Feast - Graham Masterson
The Freakshow - Bryan Smith

I went to Books-a-Million (I have a 20% discount card for another month so decided to use it) and they didn't have a single book on my list, so I just ordered them all from Amazon.

Any other suggestions for modern horror? Chances are, I've heard of (and read) any other you can think of, but suggestions are welcome.

Brian Keene, Bentley Little, and Edward Lee are some of the authors I've read a lot of lately (modern authors).

All 3 are very good books in my opinion, Catcher In the Rye is a must read for everyone interested in literature.

The shadow trilogy (shadow of the hegemon etc) have more of the same style the first book has. The trilogy with speaker of the dead has a completely different style and that will stay that way throughout the trilogy. Both are still really good though.

right now :
"Laus Stultitiae" by Desiderius Erasmus ^^
[image loading]
It`s an Ode to sillyness by the godess Stultitia ( Sillyness herself) . Erasmus shows how acting like an idiot is ,more often than you would like to remember, a part of your life and points out how the people that are perceived as more virtuous than others are frankly the most foolish of all.
It was written a long time ago, but it is still pungently up to date with society; real timeless !!
If you`re European, you should definitely give it a try, because Erasmus is arguably one of the "founding fathers" of Europe so to speak.
only downside : can be a real slow read

plan to read : 1000 classics , really... to much to sum up . My bookcase is exploding with stuff i haven`t read yet
"Who always takes a taxi, but never pays a fare?" - "Vegeta!?" ||||exclusively a fan of RET!! .... and perhaps ClouD !
