tangy Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 QUOTE (ReRushed @ Oct 11 2007, 10:36 AM) These are books I tackled more than once: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole A Confederacy of Dunces- perhaps the funniest book ever. Lots of Love for Catcher in the rye. Read this at least ten times, this book freaks me out and my copy has all the depressing parts highlighted....... Monkey Wrench Gang- Edward Abbey Desert Solitaire- Edward Abbey A Sand County Almanac- Aldo Leopold Winning Through Intimidation- Robert Ringer- Do not be misled by the title, this book is more about dealing with and understanding people than intimidating them. Kind of a business self help book. I subscribe to many of his theories in the book particulary the maintenace of a postive outlook through the assumption of a negative outcome. I think my all time favorite book is Walden by Henry David Thoreau. This and On the Duty of Civil Disobedience contain some of the most advanced thinking by mankind ever. A must read.

You really can't go wrong with Garcia Marquez. 100 Years of Solitude takes some ambition, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really can't go wrong with Garcia Marquez. 100 Years of Solitude takes some ambition, though. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" was the first Garcia Marquez I read, then "Love in the Time of Cholera." I knew going in that any struggle I'd have with "Solitude" would be from keeping all the names straight, but I did fine. I photocopied the "family tree" from the front of the book, and used it as a bookmark; if I found myself slipping in keeping all those Aurelianos and Arcadios straight, I'd quickly consult my nearby bookmark. It worked out well. I really like the two books of his I've read - his two most popular ones. I see that you recommend "Chronicle of a Death Foretold." Maybe I'll go there next. Garcia Marquez has rapidly joined John Irving as one of my favorite novelists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and anything by Douglas Adams, of course. I received as a birthday present"The White Dragon" ages ago. Another favorite is Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea trilogy. And TailChaser's Song by Tad Williams, different fantasy book the chracters are all cats (there's legends about those strange furless,creatures called M'an) Good and evil cats and of course a quest with the fate of the feline world in the balance! Really good reminds me of Watership Downs.(which is also one of my favorites.) http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b216/spirit3trails/n6936.jpg Edited October 12, 2007 by softfilter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
