Members CapnMarvel Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 Dead Souls - Nikolai Gogol So good, but as I'm reading it to my (Russian) wife, I realise how much about the humor I don't really get. Still hilarious, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members trlkvsky Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 I am about to start Crying of Lot 49 tonight. After that it's Journey to the End of the Night and then Fast Food Nation. I got books for my birthday. I am a nerd. Journey to the End of the Night is probably my all-time favorite book along with Dostoievsky's Crime and Punishment... Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gorebuc Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 As a Lit major, school decides what I read and when I read it. Most recently were Kate Chopin's The Awakening, Frankenstein, and Huck Finn Now, I'm on to Caroline Miller's Lamb In His Bosom for Georgia Literature. So, four novels by midterm...lots of fun. The last thing I read outside of school was Andy Summer's One Train Later, a very good biopic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Funky Chowder Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 Both are fav's of mine, there aren't many C.S. Lewis books I haven't read. The Four Loves and Till We Have Faces are both great, and the chronicles of narnia are brilliant, even though they are childrens books. Till We Have Faces is indeed great.

House of Leaves is really weird, but I love it. I recommend everyone picks it up and at least tries it. Give it a few hours, and you'll "get it".

Members adam barkley Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 I read the first two and then got bored to death in the third book. I just got sick of his lack of drive. Basically 350 pages of "I won't do anything" to get to five pages of "Ok, I'll do something." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members squareking Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 Yeah, just go ahead and ruin it for me. I'm looking forward to the books...and I can't finish a series until there's some closure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
