Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values

Just finished reading Tulia by Nate Blakeslee about race, drugs, corruption and a horrible injustice eventually corrected. It was a great read.

The lesson of the book is pity the black man that has to stand before a west Texas jury.

Something inspirational by Og Mandino. Always works miracles!

"A la recherche du temps perdu" by Marcel Proust takes the biscuit for a real good read.

If you want something a little more recent try Sarah Waters, particularly "Fingersmith".

If you would like a gay read try Allan Hollingshurst.

If you want to read on the loo the Dan Brown goes down well.

Waving book in the air:Try 'Wicked'It is just good escapist fun with insights into The Wizard of OZ about the fact that there is always another POV.It makes one read it and say 'that's why she did it'.Just fun.

I would suggest A Song For Arbonne by Guy Gavriel Kay.
Or the Hitchhikers Guide series if you haven't read it. The movie didn't do the book(s) justice at all.

Just finished reading "The Confessor" by Daniel Silva. Good Book about an Israeli Mossad agent.

A good book is one you can read with only one hand.

I'm enjoying Vikram Seth's new one: Two Lives. He's a favorite of mine,

 

[Croynan]

David Leavitt - "The Man Who Knew Too Much" - Alan Turing and the Invention of the Computer (Side Note: And Who Was Removed from His University Job and Government Work in the U.K. for His Homosexuality)

Gerald Clarke - "Capote" - A Brography

Ethan Mordden - "The Happiest Corpse I've Ever Seen" - The Last 25 Years of the Broadway Musical

Ted Chapin - "Everything Was Possible" - The Birth of the Musical "Follies"

Tobias Wolff = "Old School" - A Novel - A Boy At an Elite Prep School.

Lynn Garafola - "Diahhilev"s Ballets Russes" - Dance History

My two favorite books are:

1. "A Prayer for Owen Meany" by John Irving

2. "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follet

Two EXCELLENT books! I highly recommend them.

I just got done Reading 'bite club' it was AMAZING


im thinking of Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palaniuk

 

[Brijan]

I just started reading Blink by Malcolm Gladwell.
I am sure I'll like this book. (If you've read the book that might be just a little bit funny.)

Elizabeth kostova - the historian

great choice bachatero80!
currently reading it, and it is wonderful. can't wait to read more of it!

Empress Orchid - Anchee Min
a personal favourite .. offers an alternative perspective on the life of China's last Empress. The PRC government demonised her, and banned a lot of works that sympathise with Orchid. Really fascinating novel.

otherwise Kate Mosse - Labyrinth.
think, Da Vinci code .. double the IQ, and throw in a lot of stuff about the Bons Hommes, the Crusaders, and a lush historical french setting! a wonderful read!
