Hmmm. It's great that you liked it and that makes me want to read it. I have read some of Burroughs's Tarzan stuff, but haven't gotten around to his Sci Fi stuff...yet.
 
I'm reading it on the Nook, but I'm liking it so much that I'd really like to see if I can find a nice, old hardcover version of the three books. B&N has a nice, illustrated new-edition hardcover of it.

Just started "The Silent Sea" by Clive Cussler. Its the seventh book in the Oregon Files series. Awesome books, they read like movies. Juan Cabrillo is awesome. Not as bad ass as Mitch Rapp (Vince Flynn) or Scot Harvath (Brad Thor) but a tough dude!
 
Happy Towel Day to everyone!
Time to read the Hithchiker's for 42th time or so ...
 
The last book you truly enjoyed...

I know this forum is normally dedicated to movie and music news, but I felt it was the best place to launch this inquiry. Hope you all do not mind. wavey:

I would like to know what the title and author of the last book you read that you either really liked, resonated with you, or made you think differently/see things from another perspective. Fiction. Non-fiction. Old. New. What book made a lasting impression and why?

Thank you in advance for sharing. Your input is appreciated. Cheers! :beerchug:
 
I read "A Confederacy of Dunces" and I agree, it is good. It annoyed me a bit, but then it got me questioning, "What about this character is annoying me?" That opened up a whole 'nother can of worms :)

Great book!

The last book I read that I truly enjoyed was "Water for Elephants". Something about circuses and the 1930's, it just get's my vote every time. Also, I loved how it told the story through the memory of an old man, stuck in a convalescent home, reminiscing about his past. It read so well, and was so thoroughly researched. I truly appreciated this book, and enjoyed in immensely. I actually got book apathy (when you finish reading a story, and you feel lost because the tale is over) after this one

Haven't finished it yet, but I am enjoying it so far. It IS a bit like Firefly, but I was a fan of the series, so it's all good.

Loved both. I just re-read "Geek Love" and shared it with a good friend. Along with "Confederacy of the Dunces" this is one of my all-time favs. I'm reading "The Drinker" by Hans Fallada right now. Very good read about a man sinking very rapidly into the depths of alcoholism.

Ill try and check these out...thanks for the recommendation.
 
A Confederacy Of Dunces is one of the funniest books of all time.

As far as life affecting books, I'll go with just about anything by Andrew Vachss.
 
if you wanna read something really funny, Good Omens is hilarious.



the book i'm currently reading - The Master and Margarita, is simply phenomenal.
 
I really liked the Neverwhere novel.

The miniseries it's based on is pretty bad. The budget definitely showed.
 
So far there are some good titles abound in this thread (ie. Master and Margarita, Confederacy of Dunces).

Call me boring, and a stickler for language and narrative, but The Grapes of Wrath is the most recent book that awe-inspired me.

If we're talking humor, it's Catch-22 or Bright Lights, Big City that last had me in stitches.
 
Note to Self....visit library soon.

Current read....Travels with Charlie. Not the Grapes of Wrath but a good read.
