QUOTE(xxinn0c3ntwunxx @ Apr 12 2004, 11:52 PM) yup..the perks of being a wallflower by stephen chbosky i just finished reading that book last week! i didn't get the point of the story at all, and thought it was rather boring..... but it's probably just me. right now i'm reading The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. It's such a great story, it's takes place in 1930's Soviet Union during the stalinist purges. Satan and his talking black cat come and show up in a town where nearly everyone refuses to believe in God or the devil. Bulgakov intertwines multiple narratives into his novel.. even an intriguing interpretation of Jesus' crucifixion and the characters surrounding that historic event (Pilate, Judas, Matthew,etc.) Then everything goes into chaos once they find out Satan IS real, and is actually living in Russia. So far, it has been a novel of enduring interest, go and buy it! let's see... books i've finished recently? lots. i read 1-2 books a week depending on how long and intriguing the plot is. here are my recently-read books: 01. The Curious Incident of the Dog at Night Time - Mark Haddon my rating: 9/10 02. Doctor Zhivago - Pasternak my rating - 8/10 (you might get really confuse by his confusing plot, but just finish the book and at the end you'll understand everything.) 03. The Brothers Karamazov - Doestovsky - my rating: 10/10 04. Inside the Vatican - the politics and organization of the catholic church - tom reese my rating: 7/10 05. Can You Keep a Secret? - sophie kinsella my rating - 10/10 (super fun read!) |

I finished Twilight during spring break. It was a good book.
have you ever had that feeling when you finished a book, and since it dosnt have a sequal you try to find another book you think you may like, but you focus too much on the book that you just read? |

She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb. It's long, about 465 pages, but it goes by quickly with the mix of description and dialogue. It's very enjoyable and you go through a mixture of emotions. Very well written.

an unquiet mind : a memoir of moods and madness - kay redfield jamison : an autobiographical story of a woman's struggle with manic depressive/bipolar disorder. very...VERY good.
notes from the underground - fyodor dostoevsky : (the whole thing is online, at the link below. read it.) i can't even describe how i feel about this one. i've read it and reread parts several times. it's extrordinary and brilliant. http://etext.virginia.edu/etcbin/toccer-ne...public&part=all the virgin suicides - jeffrey eugenides : i made the mistake of seeing the movie several times before thinking to read the book. unfortunately, it is one of those cases where...the movie is nearly exactly like the book. and. i can't seem to get through reading what i already know by heart. lysergically yours - frank duff : a "short" story, really. novella, if you want. (again, completely available online at the link below.) it's incredible. i read it quite a while back. but, i still flip through the printed pages every now and then when i can't get into reading anything else. i recommend it to everyone. http://256k.org/fd/ly.html |

Say, Goodnight Gracie. It's a nice story. It may seem overused nowadays in movies,tv, etc., but I still liked it. It's pretty short so it won't take much of your time if you're a fast reader.

I just started Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. Man, I can never spell his name properly the first time. It's really suspenseful right now, but I've only read like the first chapter.

these aren't really fiction/non-fiction books but are philosophy books. very good read.
The Myth of Sisyphus - Albert Camus Critique of Pure Reason - Immanuel Kant myth of sisyphus is a book about existentialism and the life of the absurd. in which sisyphus, who was condemned to roll boulders up a hill is a model life for the absurd. critique of pure reason is about empiricism and how we connect knowledge with experience to answer rational questions. |
