[run don't walk]

John Grisham's The Chamber or The Rainmaker.

[Rrrrrrr]

John Grisham's The Chamber or The Rainmaker.
A Painted House is the only John Grisham book I really enjoyed.

[burning star IV]

C. S. Lewis - The Chronicles of Narnia

I'm only on book 2 but so far it's really good.

[Bass-AKIRA]

Dune Series - Frank Herbert

you just got pwned, topic person:rolleyes:

[Part Troll]

The tiger who came for tea

[telemore]

Hubert Selby Jr. -Last Exit to Brooklyn

or Requiem for a Dream. Both fantastic, though I'm still reading Requiem.

Got a lot of time to kill? Read the Mahabharata. Ten times as long as the Iliad and the Odyssey combined

[telemore]

Any good?

[FA]

The obvious:

1984
Brave New World

Also:

Da Vinci Code

I'm currently reading a very simple book called Secret Sacrament, because a friend told me it was a decent read, and 2/3rds through it, I kinda like it. It's not the greatest, but it's entertaining and simple nonetheless.

[Chrizzle fo' Shizzle]

Never read it. I'm assuming it's fairly boring

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahabharata

[Part Troll]

Give Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo a go (see film adaptation in the video to metallicas One)
Very deep

[dazmo]

HP

and the Tomorrow series. for young adults

Got time to kill? Read Marcel Proust's "Remeberance of Things Past". In total, it is three THOUSAND pages long, divided usually into seven volumes.



Seriously, I'm reading Ulysses by James Joyce right now. It's really good if you have the patience to read slow. People say it's extremely hard to read, I don't think so, you just need a dictionary and a good brain.

It's about a guy that walks around Dublin in 1904.

J.D. Salinger - The Catcher In The Rye
Very, very good book. I highly recommend it.

not just those, there are so many vague references in it that it becomes painful. I took an english course dedicated entirely to that book and you needed two other books just to get all the references in it. It was so painful that I ended up switching out of the class in a matter of days.

Grrr, I've always wanted to read Ulysses, but don't think I'd be able to stomach it. I've read about half way through Dubliners, it was pretty boring, although I've been meaning to finish it (I stopped reading it (something I almost never do, except when I feel like what I'm reading is going totally over my head) a couple months ago). I'll read it, one of these days, I just hope I can read it and enjoy it.

The last book I read was Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk. I really enjoyed it, and it's not too difficult of a read.

[thedeadwalk!]

Tietam Brown by Mick Foley
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo
Ishmael by Daniel Quinn
My Ishmael by Daniel Quinn
Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke

[Sleeper]

The Dark Tower series by Stephen King, simply amazing.

[3rdplanet]

Try The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann, it's a really cool book.

Yeah, Dubliners isn't too exciting.

I also read Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. The part I remember most is the priest's speech on hell and infinity, that was actually terrifying, I nearly converted right there.
