Burning Britain is great

Burning Britain is great

A clockwork orange classic

[QUOTE=bitLion][B]Books[/B]

o Fight Club - Check Palahniuk's book of pent up testosterone and destruction

o Please Kill Me - A history of punk in the form of quotes from notable figures

o Humanity: A Moral History of the 20th Century - It sounds thick, but it's actually very readable. Gives a good perspective as to how we got into this mess.

[B]Photobooks[/B]

o Glen E. Friedman's "F u c k you Heroes" and "Banned in DC"

[B]Magazines[/B]

o Adbusters - media and cultural critics, reclaiming the mental environment[/QUOTE]Fight Club really wasn't a very good book, Chuck Palahniuk the movie was actually better in this instance.

As for my picks :

Clockwork Orange
Animal Farm
Catcher in the Rye
Catch 22

[QUOTE=cbmartinez24]Me too.

[U]Books To Check Out:[/U]

Lord Of The Flies
[/QUOTE]
I thought that book was horrible, my class finished reading it last month in school. Of Mice and Men was a really good book though, it wasn't predictable like most books are.

[QUOTE=rancidpunk]Fight Club really wasn't a very good book, Chuck Palahniuk the movie was actually better in this instance.[/QUOTE]

Fight Club is my favorite movie and I still thought the book was just as good, if not better.

I will agree with Sketchy Joe about Catch 22. It is probably my favorite book ever.

Other books that I like are "To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, and "ONe Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest" by Ken Kesey.

Those are all great books. I love the section in Cuckoo's Nest where McMurphy punches through the window. There is not a single section is Catch 22 that isn't funny, except Snowden's secret and that's incredibly moving.

I haven't read the book One Flew Over, but I've seen the movie and Jack Nicholson was great.

The book is better than the film in my opinion.

Haha this thread is about literature and it's spelled wrong!

Oh the irony.

Haha I didn't even notice that.

Hahahahaha, Oh yeah!

Shame on me :upset:

[QUOTE]The part when Holden is leaving the school and yells "Sleep tight you bastards" is still one of my favorite paragraphs in a book ever.[/QUOTE]

My favorite part has to be when Holden says, "This is a people shooting hat. I shoot people in this hat." It was also hilarious when Holden says that Stradlater was a very sexy bastard.

[QUOTE=anti_emo_punk]A clockwork orange classic[/QUOTE]
its very confusing

[QUOTE=sketchyjoe]The book is better than the film in my opinion.[/QUOTE]The book is better because Kesey wrote half of it while stoned on LSD, grass, and speed.

I think it's the best book to film transition ever.

any jeffery deaver for me at the minute

Can anyone give me a good book to read. Less than 250 pages please? I'm in 8th grade, and would want a book political or not. I'd prefer a realistic fiction book cause I got to do a book project. But I don't really care that much. Just something where I'd understand most of the words. I wanted to do Dance Of Days but I think its too long I'm getting bored with some of the writing.

Brave New World, 259 pages

Who is the author/what is it about?

Aldous Huxley, It is about the future (via 1940's) about a society where everyone's life are predetermined from birth. I am only a little into it, but it is really good.

Animal Farm by George Orwell is a classic view of society, as is Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck.

More good war books:
[I]Ghost Soldiers[/I] by Hampton Sides
[I]Guns, Germs, and Steel[/I] by Jared Diamond

I also enjoy reading Tom Clancy and John Grisham. It isn't high literature but enjoyable reads.
