[miss.myra]

I've severely exhausted my collection..and instead of going to read a favorite for a 3rd or 4th time, I've decided I've got to seriously replenish it.


Give me some reccomendations! :) they are much appreciated!

[crookedking]

i hate all you bookworms.

THe one I've been reccomending the most lately is Oryx and Crake by (dont be put off) Margret Atwood.

light of the moon by dean koontz

and i cant remember the other name right now but its about a lady who lives in japan and has had her memory erased

'kitchen confidential' by anthony bourdain.

even if you have absoulutely no interest in cooking or the kitchen, you will still probably really like this book. it's basically about what happens behind closed doors in resturaunts.

motley crue "the dirt". greatest story of sex drugs and rock and roll ever told

Anarchist's Cook Book

[-ff-]

^

I did read that. 75% of the stuff in it is actually bullshit. and 15 of the remaining 25% is out of date.

It does tell you how to make TNT though.

myyyyyyra, i have tons of books you can borrow. wait until i'm living downtown and i bring my entire library out to my new place.

i'm reading a really good book right now called "The Corrections" by Jonathan Franzen.

and i just finished a really good one by Dan Savage that you can borrow if you like.

^HO-LEEEE SHEE-ITE!

I've got the same book (The Corrections), upstairs!
Grapes lent it to me months ago.
I got about half-way through it, and stalled. (Which says something, because I'm a voracious reader)

It reminds me too much of John Irving's "The World According to Garp" and "Hotel New Hampshire".
Bloody disturbing...

How about some Kurt Vonnegut? ("Slapstick" is so funny!)
Noam Chomsky (I've got a few of his books here).
A collection of Canadian Ghost Stories?
"Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them", by Al Franken (Hilarious!!!!)

Dean Koontz is an amazing author ("Fear Nothing", and it's sequal, "Seize the Night" are fantastic!!!)

Drop by for a drink, girl, and see if there's anything you'd like to borrow!

Bill Bryson - Notes from a large island. Interesting light hearted read about a British travel writer's thoughts on living in America.

Forever War - Sci-fi, so it might turn people off

Tao-te ching, Great read. Period

I have all those if you want to borrow them...

by Karl Marx, Martin Nicolaus


The Marx-Engels Reader
by Karl Marx, New York :, Friedrich Selections. English. 1978 Engels, Robert C. Tucker

Theories of Surplus Value

and then would recommend to read those ones if the subjects start to interests you...

Anarchist Portraits

What is Anarchism? (Working Classics)

Anarcho-Syndicalism (Pluto Classics)

Anarchism and Ecology

If you tell me what are your interests I could recommend you a few good ones, cause some of Marx books are complicated and need a certain knowledge...But it is very good source if you have a humanist or environmentalist tendency...

i've read two Dean Koontz books and haven't really been very impressed. i'll try a few others, but i'm going to be giving up on him pretty soon.

but myra, i really think that you should read this book called "Lemon" by Lawrence Krauser. it's about a man that has a love affair with a lemon. it's simply the most original book i've ever read.

"In Evil Hour" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

"Ethan Frome" by Edith Warton

Both books were read in one of my english classes. They were really interesting. I'd offer you more, but I don't have much time to read anything other than what I'm reading for my classes.
