07.26.12 | Should've picked another McCarthy book instead
same for Vonnegut, but I have nothing bad to say about Slaughterhouse 5 except that it's definitely not one of his best |
aok
07.26.12 | i read 1 as well recently. a bit of the way through cat's cradle atm - i can't imagine it being any better |

07.26.12 | slaughterhouse is a terrific book and definitely my fav vonnegut |
Kiran
07.26.12 | but i agree about mccarthy, it's gotta be blood meridian, the road is bleak to the point of exhaustion |

07.26.12 | Always the same authors in these threads. Just to top it off we need someone to rec Palahniuk |
SeaAnemone
07.26.12 | and then others to come in and say "hey palahniuk sucks"
hey palahniuk sucks (sometimes) |

07.26.12 | Looking For Alaska deserves to be way, way higher than Slaughterhouse 5, that's for sure! |

07.26.12 | Always thought about reading 4, I hated how Anthem just ended though, dont want that to be a longer waste of time. I read The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac a while ago, highly recommend it and all of his works |

07.26.12 | atlas shrugged is complete tripe from beginning to end
read some updike, greatest of the great american authors |
jefflebowski
07.26.12 | man the fuck up and read Ulysses already |
JackSparrow
07.26.12 | So you don't recommend Atlas Shrugged? I really would hate to waste time reading that if it ends up sucking like Anthem by her. How do you feel about John Irving? |
Yuli
07.26.12 | Atlas Shrugged is pretty great, obviously huge time investment but I've enjoyed it thus far |
jefflebowski
07.26.12 | John Irving is a brilliant author of awesome genius
a prayer for owen meany is one of the best books i've ever read |
jefflebowski
07.26.12 | high octane lawyer fag |
mindleviticus
07.26.12 | read fahrenehit 451 |
JackSparrow
07.26.12 | Then you're now the coolest person on here, Irving is the man. Read some Henry James |
jefflebowski
07.26.12 | he's someone i've never really given a proper go actually, i've spent the last few years working my way slowly through updike, who's probably GOAT as far as american authors go |
