FALL ON YOUR KNEES. My favourtie book. It's long and it's not happy. But I couldn't put it down. Karl loved it too.

.anya · #12 (**permalink**) Jul 18, 03

cashcow, I'm reading the Outsider in French right now (after reading the english version), it's beautiful

Alexander Dumas is always better in French as well - !!!

There's a book called "Born Knowing" by John Holland which I would highly recommend.

Xtafen: .anya, are you tall with brown hair?

^^I think you've got the wrong girl. I'm not that tall at all, and my hair is a mixture of several different colors right now, brown included. :)

you should really read that book fuck i forget the authour but its called *The Go Fuck Urself Book* i think u should really read it :D

Lush · #24 (**permalink**) Jul 20, 03

^ wow....
you're special

Anyways, "Snow Falling on Cedars" by David Guterson is beautifully written, some of the imagery is just gorgeous so I recommend that.
Sungoo suggested "Hamlet" and I second that, "Hamlet" is one of Shakespeare's best works.
I'm currently reading "A psychoanalysis of Freudian Psychology" it's overwhelming but interesting.

stabmyhead lent me this book called
'you are worthless' I thought it was hilarious.
I think it's definately worth reading when you're down.

but as for dumas being better in french, that's too bad as I hate french...
either way, I still recommend the count of monte cristo as I think it would be very difficult to dislike that book.
