Books you are hoping to tackle

Sorry I didn't make that very clear... I was asking for your opinion on the Hannibal books. I've read all of the Harry Potters - I love them

 

As many factual books on both the American Civil War and the American War of Independence.

 

I miserably failed my first attempt at the lord of the rings trilogy but I think I might be able to take it on now...well at least i hope so. I've been told they're really good

 

Did you read The Hobbit? (I think that's what he calls it.) It's a sort of prelude to the trilogy, and an easier read.

 

1)Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norrel. I had read about half of it when...I just stoped. Must pick this back up.
2) Dhlargen(I don't think I spelled that right) Been seeing this book for years, I will buy it...one day.
3)Ink:The Book of All Hours. I don't know why, Barly understood Vellum but want to read it anyway.
4) Cats Cradle Love Vonnegutt, why haven't I read this?

 

I'm reading Vellum, I love it so far (Although yes, it is amazingly incomprehensible.)

 

Right now I am reading Middlesex(not porn haha) by Jeffrey Eugenides
then next I am reading:the thralls tale by Judith Lindbergh
then kushiels scion by jacqueline Carey-(part of a series)
wish me luck!

 

1) The Historian (Elizabeth Kostova)
2) Mr. Murder (Dean Koontz)
3) Desperation (Stephen King)
4) Lisey's Story (Stephen King)
5) Potter, Deathly Hallows (Rowling)

I have my work cut out for me, that's for sure!

 

In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust.

I don't know how far I could go, but I'd like to try reading this novel ...

 

The 100 Banned Books list. =P

To be more specific-
1) The Fountainhead - I've been reading this off and on for about a year now, but my focus tends to stray.
2) Naked Lunch - Just one of those books I got into a bit too late.
3) Gates of Janus
4) Doctor Zhivago

And any other good ones I can randomly come up with.

 

I've just finished reading the last one on your last, I enjoyed it

 

Really? I didn't have a great difficulty reading this book.

BTW, I just bought Atlas Shrugged yesterday.

 

At the mo, I'm reading Betrayal by Fiona McIntosh. It's in a trilogy so I got another 2 books after that.
I want to read LoTR and try some Robin Hobb sooner or later.

 

1) "The Dante Club" by: Matthew Pearl (in the middle of it right now)
2)"Daywatch" by: Sergei Lukyanenko
3)"The Virgin's Lover" by: Philippa Gregory
4)"American Gods" by Neil Gaiman

 

Catch 22 and Frankenstin with me.
Both of them are that kind of 'pick it up when I feel like it' thing when you never actually end up finnishing them.

I just finnished The Devine Comady and that was brilliant.

 

I haven't actually had chance to read many books recently Like... none. Hopefully, I'll be able to read something somewhen soon.

 

'The Catcher in the Rye', I really need to read this one. Also, anything by John Steinback would be good about now as well.

 

Oh so many good ones, so little time...

Let's classify it:

Books I plan to pick up again and finish after picking up dust in my shelf for a long time now:

1) War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
2) The Three Musketeers by Alexander Dumas pere
3) Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlen
4) The Prince by Nicolo Machiavelli
5) Last of the Mohicans by James Feminore Cooper
6)

Books I plan to re-read because I didn't really get it the first time

1) Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry
2) The rest of the Dune series after the first book by Frank Herbert

Books I plan to read

1) Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlen
2) Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
3) Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri

 

I've been reading the Gulag Archipelago for the last two years, and I STILL haven't finished it.. I guess I'm trying to digest every single little detail...

Other than that there's of course Doctor Zhivago, War and Peace, Anna Karenina, Gone with the Wind, other misc books by Orwell, Asimov and Bradbury.

 

The Stranger
War and Peace
Notes from the Underground
Animal Farm
Anna Karenina

My amazon.com shopping cart
Notes is going to be easy after reading Dostoevsky's monsters otherwise known as "novels". I've seen smaller dictionaries.

 

I am waiting for the library to get 'The Tenderness of Wolves' in for me.
It is a mystery set in long ago Canada.
I am hoping it will hold my attention. Haven't found much to do that lately.
has anyone heard anything about this book or read it themselves.

 

surely you mean Tolstoy? Notes from the underground is tiny.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
I can't wait until my essays are handed in. i'm taking the week after it off and going to spend so much time reading I'm going to look into fiction from Africa about AFrica - to keep in some line with my studies, if anyone has any recommendations?

 

A Portrait of the Artist As A Young Man - James Joyce
Of Mice and Men - Steinbeck
The Bell Jar- Sylvia Plath
Don Quixote- Miguel Cervantes de Svaadra
Pincher Martin- William Golding
The Fountainhead- Ayn Rand

Has anyone read any of these?

 

Ah, no. Dostoevsky's "big three" C&P, Brothers K, and Demons - are some of the biggest novels I've ever read. I do realize it's tiny - at around 100 pages, it's roughly 1/10th of the size of Brothers Karamazov.


Although I do plan on getting War and Peace and Anna Karenina.

No idea about African literature. Not sure what's been translated.

Of Mice and Men was great. The ending.. well, the ending was good. Very good.

 

I just read in the news that a school board has banned a book for being anti-god.
So obviously I want to read it and see what the fuss is about.
Philip Pullman -- the golden compass.
We have the other two in the series so I will get to see what the fuss is about. Dom and Don have both said it is a pretty good series.
So we shall see.
