Okay, I’m extremely short on ideas as to what I should look for at my library, so I’m making this thread instead of using my brain.
My recommendations:
“Rushmore” (a movie about a kid who falls for a first-grade teacher)
“The Royal Tenebaums” (you have to see it to understand the plot)
“24” (if you haven’t seen the first episode at least, see it now)
I seem to remember you saying you hadn’t read “Ender’s Game” by Orson Scott Card so if you haven’t read that.
Also if you like fantasy try the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind (the first book is “Wizards First Rule” which is now one of my favorite books, so try it even if you don’t like fantasy) or the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. The first books int he WOT series are good, but around 8 or 9 they start getting boring.
paul auster: new york trilogy
henri michaux: plume (collection of writings)
albert camus: the outsider
philip k dick: galactic pot-healer
becket samuel: mercier & camier
something to read on the beach or summer cabin…
EDIT: the philip k xxxx seems to be censored by the forums. so the last name is the D-word, same meaning…
Gah, books! I shall kill them all! Them and their detail… and their… detail… and… covers… and… words… and… pages… and… detail… Damn books… Think they’re so good… We must rid the world of the tyranny of ‘Books’… I must unleash those… those… worms… whatever they’re called… into the nearest librarium to dispose of this atrosity… 5 bucks says I spelled that wrong…
i know these books are too common, but the hobbit, the lotr saga, and all of sherlock holmes books r great. ah! u should also have vampire chronicles by anne rice and dracuala, the original by bhram strocker (don’t know the spelling).
