Brave new world is 100% better than 1984. Orwell was late to the dystopia game.

Already read Brave New World. I don't think its 100% better. But I get where you think the two books have a common thread.

Brave new world is the better book... but 1984 is interesting too.

just finished reading Stephen King's new book "Under the Dome" awesome book. very long. I believe it was 1072 pages.

Awesome book. Have you read The Stand? Same kind of epic.

About half way through Hoffa's Man. It's a biography/autobiography on Joe Franco, Jimmy Hoffa's number 2 man. Interesting stuff reading about a lot of the shit they did back in the day.

Hoping to finish a few Malcolm Gladwell books

Great author - very absorbing and easy to read. One feels like he’s getting smarter when reading Gladwell.

Just started Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut.

Vonnegut is one of the strangest authors I've encountered..

Naked by David Sedarris

Sedarris is hilarious - all his books!


King books always seemed more long, than enjoyable to me..

Huckleberry Finn

recently finished the Sawyer and Finn books – excellent classic reading. High fun factor.

Silmarillion

oui! Both Silmarillion and The Book of Lost Tales were very 'encyclopedia-like' indeed. Crazy amount of backdrop/history – spanning centuries – for LOTR??

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

started reading this - and then decided that I'd just rather watch the movies for some reason. (first movie was great - other two are in netflix que)

Moby Dick

read last fall. Melville goes into enormous detail - it's like educational/historical fiction. Could never get over how the book is 160 year old and contains so many truisms that hold true to this day. Very enjoyable. This is one of those books I wanted to read “before I die” – and I’m glad I did.

Just read The Hunger Games, couldn't put it down

Holy crap! SO MUCH FUN TO READ!! What a ride! Plot just flows like a flood - the whole trilogy.



Note to self: Check out
Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men
I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell
The Celestine Prophecy

This thread also reminds me I want to get Zen and Now by Mark Richardson on kindle..


Strong recommendations for Tom Robbins books – namely Jitterbug Perfume and Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates. Robbins has an extraordinary vocabulary and an amazing way with words.
