Come on, who reads books?

but seriously...Catch-22, On the Road, Candide, Sometimes A Great Notion, anything by Faulkner, probably some others I'm forgetting
 
Sorry for the double post, but listen to this guy. I don't know if it's real reading, but Tucker Max can keep me entertained for weeks on end
 
youre like the 5th skier i know who likes this book.

i think im gunna ditch the one im reading now to read it, because mines borringggg.

i hardly read at all, but since i have the SAT's coming up i figured it would be a good thing to start.

anyways what i have read (english class)

ellen foster

water for elephants

lord of the flies

 
Ender's Game is SOOOOO GOOOOD. its kinda sci-fi and i usually don't go for that kind of thing but i make a HUGE exception for this book
 
same.

and anything by kurt vonnegut (specifically sirens of titan, slaughterhouse five, and cat's cradle.)

walden. for whom the bell tolls. what they carried. farwell to arms. great gatsby.as i lay dying. i could go on forever
 
Just throwing this out there, but I thought Catch-22 was fucking terrible, like i forced myself to finish it bad.

I go through stages of what books hold me, i do read a hell of a lot though. Hmmm probably right now I would say the best book I have read recently was Reading in the Dark by Seamus Deane, but did enjoy Three Day Road to. Don't judge my grammar right now as it's 3 am and I am semi drunk but I am an English major so I can never escape, nor would want to escape reading.
 
a long way gone:memoirs of a boy soldier

the upside of down

in the hot zone:one man, one year, 20 wars

outside the wire:the war in afghanistan in the words of its participants

non fiction only for me.
 
Yeah, but the sequels kinda die after the third one or so. Really ruined it for me. I read Enders game like 5 times though, I don't know why, it's just so good.

And the guy who said Great Expectations, that book depressed the fuck out of me. It's good literature, but I wouldn't recommend it. But maybe I'm just too emo for that shit D:

Anyone read Heart of Darkness?

The book that Apocalypse Now is based off- AMAZING
 
Into the wild.

Into thin air.

Under the banner of heaven. (all by Jon Krankou) butchered the name ;)

all the books by Joel Rosenburg, The last Jihad, ect.

all of the Vince Flynn books. Extreme measures, ect.

haha call me weird but from my younger days i have all the Hardy Boys books. my grandparents collected them for me so they are all the "old ones" printed in the 50s.
 
Haha, I'll admit I used to have those too. But now all I can think about is the South Park where they're like completely, overtly gay...makes for a different spin on the books when you've seen it...
 
As far as sequels, Ender's shadow is absolutely incredible, speaker for the dead is worth the read, and master of puppets can suck my nut sack, that one forced me to quit the series
