A Grain Of Wheat by Ngugi Wa Thiong'o i ( i think thats how his name is spelt). A book about the Kenyan independance day and the way colonialsim and the approaching independece affected people. A complicated read but interesting and very intelligent. Its fiction.

[QUOTE=Hey Mr. Light Man]/\ Haha, both a coincidentially gay too! I'll diversify the list, then, by adding Sylvia Plath and William Blake.[/QUOTE]
Blake doesn't compare to Keats.

1984 by george orwell=the book is a soon reality....patriot acts...scary ****
a clockwork orange by anthony burgess= relates to 1984, ministry of love/ religious fundamentalism=republicans=george bush
please kill me:the oral uncensored history of punk= gives a good idea of what punk rock is about

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Series. All the way, so good, all 5 of em.

If your into Historical Fiction Romance of the Three Kingdoms is really good, I'm reading that right now.

Revenge is good too, a recasting of "The Count of Monte Cristo"

Edit: 1984, just because its comparable as hell to America these days what with the Patriot Act and using Iraq as a scape goat and all.

Animal Farm is good too, a history of the U.S.S.R. played out by farm animals.

Ian Rankin's Rebus novels are all brilliant, im reading the new one now.

Oh yeah and for a larf and a half, everyone buy the Young Ones book. Funniest stuff you'll ever read, especially the socialist revolution as written by Rick.

The Black Book is my favourite Rebus book.

[QUOTE=sketchyjoe]The Black Book is my favourite Rebus book.[/QUOTE]

Have you got Fleshmarket close yet? Its turning into an exceptional read. Have you read the other Ian Rankin novels where he's writing as Jack Harvery, they are all realy good too, even better in some ways.

I'm gonna have to get that, man.

Anyone here read Raised by Wolves? It's a photo-documentary type thing about some homeless kids and their lives on the streets. It's pretty interesting.

The book was written by the same people who wrote the show. It's not like a real book in the sense of a novel, it's more like a comic book, hard to describe.

Has anyone read Let Fury Have the Hour: The Punk Rock Politics of Joe Strummer? I was at Barnes and Noble today and I read the first few pages and it looks pretty good.

albert camus - the outsider
it may be a bit hard to read and the main character often comes off as an idiot, but it delivers a strong message about how society expects us to act and lie. it shows that anyone who does not follow these perceptions is considered a "monster" or a "freak"
EDIT: it is also really short, it only took my 2 nights to read

Right on. thats such a good Mag. :thumb:

[QUOTE=Brain Toad]I hated that book[/QUOTE]
Alot of peope do, and I can see why. Its either you love it, or hate it.
