Finished this last week, loved it.


Almost done this,



And when I'm at home I read this kus its too big to carry around. Check out the comments/reviews for this shit http://www.amazon.com/Science-Sanity-Introduction-Non-Aristotelian-International/dp/0937298018

Quote
I first read this book over 25 years ago, and it stunned me. Only a fool or the bitterest cynic could come away from this book unchanged. Whether or not you agree with all or even some of its premises and conclusions, Science and Sanity will make you keenly aware of language, psychology, and communication in all aspects of your life. You will realize how little most people know or understand about the deep and complex role language plays at home and on the world stage. This book will give you a different platform to stand on. Yes, it is a difficult book to read, but like another difficult book, Samuel Hahnemann's timeless Organon of the Medical Art, it rewards the patient and thoughtful reader in countless subtle ways over the course of time. I'd rate this book in my top ten books of a lifetime spent reading everything under the sun.

Every Adrian Mole is so good.  she is supposed to be writing one more.  i hope she does as the last one kind of ended in a mild cliff hanger.

Happy Bloomsday everybody! I'm finishing up "Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle" by Vladimir Nabokov tonight and picking up "Finnegans Wake" after a two year hiatus. Today seemed like the best day to restart it. I've read the first section of it and I'm trying to get as much finished before school starts again in September.

Got it as a birthday gift the other day and I have about 50 pages left, it's good.

Pretty decent book. Its strange how some of the interactions in American Psycho between Patrick Bateman, his mom, and his main female are almost verbatim from Clay's conversations in Less Than Zero. American Psycho is in definitely in my top 5 books so far. Don't know if i should read his other books?? ATM? Kilgore?

I'd read Rules of Attraction, it's probably my favorite thing I've read from him so far. Isn't there a sequel to Less Than Zero coming out this month?

This book is hilarious. If you can't afford the book check out the website/twitter, but the book ties all the quotes together

This is hard an intellectual read, but it's hard to find a book that makes you laugh out loud when reading it and this one did a good job of it or me. It is to literature what Dali is to painting.

woah...first time in this thread, about to post this very book and it's on this page...small world.  i'm just getting into vonnegut, and this is my favorite so far.  i read slapstick right before, and sirens years back in school.  just started jailbird...seems like a slower read, but good so far nonetheless.

i need some advice on what (vonnegut) to read next, and i don't like reading reviews because they ruin books for me.  anybody have any suggestions?

Cat's Cradle is one of my favorites.  I also really liked Timequake, but you should read a bit more of his stuff before that one.  It has a lot of tie ins to his other books.

from what i've read of his, here's how i would rank them (so you can decide what to read next)
cat's cradle, breakfast of champions, hocus pocus, god bless you mr. rosewater, slaughterhouse five, mother night, the sirens of titan, slapstick. i would also suggest a man without a country for a short read.

i'm reading this at the moment. so far it's been really good

Just finished The Informers by Ellis and finally got around to reading Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut even though I got it last year. I got Glamorama earlier today, and hopefully I'll be reading another Vonnegut novel after that, I'll probably go with Rosewater after reading the suggestions in this thread.
Lloyd: Slaughterhouse Five and Breakfast of Champions are good Vonnegut novels, as well.

"Mother Night" is way better than "Slaughterhouse-Five" and Rosewater. Also, "Bluebeard" is a really good book too. Probably one of my favorites as well as "Mother Night" and "Breakfast of Champions."

Fucking love Joyce. I'm reading Finnegans Wake right now. I've been trying it for a few years. Ulysses is amazing. Easily the best book I've ever read. I read it twice in a year-once for fun and once for a class. A little warning is that it is a much harder book to get through than you think, especially if you don't want to merely read the words versus reading it, if that makes sense. You might not get too much out of it the first time, but it's still an amazing read.
