Anything by Kurt Vonnegut when it's not horribly depressing, hitchhiker's guide (and some of Douglass Adam's other works), sometimes Neal Stephenson books and the Marble Fawn by Nathaniel Hawthorne because he keeps saying ejaculated instead of said. But I mean he did grow up protestant in the...

Banning books is by far the least ridiculous thing at my school. We can't search medicinal marijuana or abortion or like anything drug, or sex related really. Oh and I think Nazi is blocked too. What I want to understand is why certain books are banned because of "vulgarity" while in my LA...

Yeah I deffinately have to get around to reading the rest of Kerouac's works, I checked out And the Hippos Were Boiled in their Tanks like the last time I was at the book store, but I just had too many other books to read at the time, otherwise I would have bought it, it looks sweet! I don't...

lol, I think Cryptonomicon but it's taken me forever to read, I'm like 450 pages in and have been reading it for over 2 years. -_- It's a really dense book, but it's also really good Yeah Clockwork Orange is most of the reason I love him ^_^ but he's written some other really good books...

I positively adored this book. I was really surprised when one of my friends, whom I usually agree with in most matters, hated it, he said it was disconnected and wasn't even about Yossorian, but I don't really see that. Mostly I just though it was awesome. It was also a really quick read for me.

I am like obsessed with Neal Stephenson, but this is my least favorite book of his, but then again I didn't get through the first 200 pages, so maybe I should try agian? I'll finish Cryptonomicon first though.

I read the first book and liked it... I haven't gotten around to reading the other two, but I should, I really liked the characters, and it didn't read like a typical fantasy novel. It went more into the psychology of the characters.

OMG I love those books too! If I ever get lost I'll just follow people who look like they know where they're going because of Dirk Gently. It's worked every time.

I have read like all five/six book in that trilogy lol, one of the few series that made me laugh like every time I picked up a book. But it's also a series that you can't really read in public, cause I feel weird just sitting there reading and laughing hysterically. You get weird looks that way...

Oh I forgot, I'm also reading The Marble Fawn by Nathaniel Hawthorne and an art history book. I have an "all at once" sort of reading style. I get bored with just one book lol.

During the fall and part of the winter I got really into Beat Generation literature. I read On the Road by Jack Kerouac, The Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs and a ton of Alan Ginsburg poetry. I'm planning on reading The Electric Kool-aid test or whatever by Tom Wolfe soon, is there anything...

I was going to suggest that, lol. That book made me feel so cold just reading it.

"Two tires fly. Two wail. A bamboo grove, all chopped down From it, warring songs. ...Is the best that Corporal Bobby Shaftoe can do on short notice - he's standing on the running board, gripping his Springfield with one hand and the rearview mirror with the other, so counting the syllables...

Mirror of the World by Julian Bell The Sound and the Fury by Faulkner Futurism by Sylvia Martin two are just art books though... have to read up on my art history.

Homer Hickam is really good at taking real life and making it theatrical without taking away any of the reality, and I think that's why Rocket Boys was so good. October Sky was my favorite movie for a long time, and then like a year or so ago I finally got around to reading the book and liked it...
