Ok, there's probably been a thread on this before but there's not one on this page, or the next one, thus I declare any such thread to be too old to be revived.
I just wanted to start up a thread of this sort because I am at the moment reading a most excellent book, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami. Is anyone else familiar with this book or any others by him? I think it's excellent, there's one part where a character describes someone being skinned alive and it's the most disgusting thing ever, so vivid even though it's just words.
Anyway, general literary discussion in here.

list of books i will be reading this summer
"A Clockwork Orange"
"Brave New World"
"1984"
"Big Sur"
well thats the plan, if I can afford them in addition to all the cd's I want!

Anyone who hasn't read George Orwell's 1984 should do so immediately. Or be stabbed in the eye with a biro.
I've read quite a few of Shaun Hutson's books over the past year, very entertaining horror stuff - and he always manages to sneak in a reference to Iron Maiden or Dio or someone like that

Moby Dick. And First Blood again.

I've been reading Jim Butcher's Dresden Files as of late. I tore through both Fool Moon and Grave Peril, I just can't get to the bookstore until probably Monday night. I'll have to make due with Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay until then.
I'm drooling for Brian Ruckley's Fall of Thanes until it comes out.
Favorites? Hmmm....

atm im reading kate mosse's sepulchre but i can't get into it despite the fact that i enjoy those kinds of books,
i think i might read lord of the rings again but i dont know wether i can be arsed lol, 1984 is good and so's animal farm, tbh i think i just need a break from reading but i love it too much lol sad
i think i just need a nice easy read, any recomendations?? lol

Mein Kampf

Just read on the road by Jack Kerouac
I think it has become my favorite book of all time
Currently reading a book called trout fishing in america, strange, like Jack K meets Kurt Novegut.
Planning on 1984 being first part of my summer read from work

Elliot, you are my new favorite person. I know of no one else who reads those....

I read some Bernard Cornwell, couple of the Sharpe novels and the arthur series. Excalibur was pretty good I think, but I can't really remember them
maybe some re-visiting done by me
