A Good Book - Love Forum

artyemi · #1 (**permalink**) 29-07-05, 12:59 AM

So, I need your recommendation on a good book to read... I'm crazy bored out of my mind.

Take into consideration that I can finish a book (like 300 pages) in about a day.

Books I've read include:
The Red Tent
The Curious Incident of the Dog at Night
Frankenstein (The new one)
and a bunch more I can't remember from the top of my head...

The Da Vinci Code, pretty overhyped, but still a verrrrey nice book.

I watched a special on that the other night...

it'd be freaky if it's true what is told in the book...it would change history like it never changed before.

Yeah it's just so... I mean all that stuff is such a mystery.. it's really hard to decide what to believe.. one set of documents someone claims to be the truth.. another set that churches have been beatin into people's heads for years upon years... who's to say what is real and what is not?

Makes you really think.

Catch 22, hilarious book and easily one of the best I ever read. Upbeat if there was ever such a book.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, has it's funny moments but is fairly solemn in nature.

But I say go with Catch 22. That's american literature at it's best.

you know, there are many other books before this one that talks about the female wisdom.. there's a religion called sophia-ism or something.. i don't know..

and there's a book called "jesus mysteries" that tries to connect jesus with the older pagan gods, like osiris..

The Acid House is a nice book by Irvin Welsh, the guy who also wrote Trainspotting etc... it has a lot of insane/funny stories, and it's written in a nice irish accent

the only two genres of books i read are romance novels and diaries.

So as for romance novels - The malory novels by johanna Lindsay...all of them are amazing, but it sucks if you read out of order. Or "Forbidden love" - karen robards

As for diaries - Go ask alice (which is older and you've probably read) and "100 strokes of the brush before bedtime".

What exactly is this thing you speak of? A "book?"
