    Suggestions: August book of the month

    Jay, Erica, and Haywood Lad, I think kids reading may be good for the future of reading in general, but only if it is reading they love and not simply talking about the one book all their friends are reading? Perhaps they'll outgrow reading at the same moment they outgrow fantacies of magic...

    Salman Rushdie

    Yeah, I definately want to read it. I'm happy you mentioned the beautiful language; it's hard to talk about Mr. Rushdie without acknowledging just how beautiful his words are. I think the thing I like most about his writing is how beautifully he can present something that is, and comes across...

    Kurt Vonnegut: Slaughterhouse-Five

    I think my favorite scene is when Billy is marching to the schlincter hoonf in the gold boots with the pathetic woman's coat. It's really easy to get caught up in the sheer entertainment of the novel, but do you ever just stop and admire the pictures he's managed to paint in your mind's eye?

    Salman Rushdie

    I don't know if I would say Haroun is the best of what I've read. Satanic Verses was honestly an amazing piece of work. Both of them are really amazing in their own ways. Haroun is probably what I recomend reading first, just because it's such a quick and easy book, it really leaves you...

    Salman Rushdie

    I only discovered this man a few months ago when I got haroon and the sea of story streams (I always get the title wrong). Since then I've gone on to read East West, Satanic Verses, and am presently pecking away at The Ground Beneath her Feet. Most of the time when I really enjoy a book...

    New-Guy says Hello

    Thanks for the welcome. A little... hmm... well--hmm... I'm a student from saskatchewan who's working in alberta for the summer. As the weather's been poor I've been reading more than, and living a lot less than, is healthy. Really, I'm a pretty boaring mo-fugga; I just realized that now...

    J.D. Salinger: The Catcher In The Rye

    Novella, I enjoy your statment that there are two ways of reading "The Catcher in the Rye". I propose a third way, however. If you look near the beginning of the book (sadly I don't have it with me, so can't quote) Holden says something along the lines of "you probably want to know about...
