Union 5-3992 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 The greatest book I've read so far is the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I'm looking at the series as one novel instead of 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkdalloway Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Yes, love Faulkner! I noticed you have As I Lay Dying on your list. Good stuff! I love The Beats so very much! Try reading Dharma Bums instead of On the Road. It's much more accessible and a better place to start with Kerouac's books. It's less chaotic and easier to follow.

I think that's my main problem with it. When I try to read it, I feel like I'm on speed, but somehow much less successful at it than the characters in the book. :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they making a musical of Gatsby? I know another redo of the movie is coming out soon, but a musical? That could be cool if they do it right!

I'm not sure if you're a fan of Leonardo Dicaprio or Toby Maguire, but if you are, then you might want to see it. If not, then I'd advise against that. I am in the second category. To be honest, I'm actually not a fan of The Great Gatsby. I think it's overrated, but that's just my crazy opinion. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the concept but its so hard to get through, especially Benjy's section. Its great to see more fans of his! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with that, man! :) The Sound and the Fury can be difficult to get through, but I think if you like As I Lay Dying, you'll find some similarities between the two, especially in terms of the structure. It really is a beautiful novel. My favorite section is Quentin's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably The Sound and the Fury is my fave but I love Light In August too. And of course As I Lay Dying. More power to you!!!
