Name some good books to read!!

Ishmael: Daniel Quinn
Best book I've EVER read, and I've read a lot of books. READ IT!!!
------------------
*Shine on you crazy diamond.....*
*Sunni came home with a vengeance*
*Somwhere over the rainbow skies are blue, and dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.*
 
You really really should read "Go Ask Alice" and I cannot remember the author.. It's a true story, and the book is all real diaries from a girl in the 60's. The begining is a bit slow, but all in all it's awesome. Definitely read it.
 
anything by David Sedaris. (Naked, Barrel Fever, Holidays on Ice, Me Talk Pretty One DAy)
hes just *lovely*
------------------
::heaven holds a sense of wonder/and i wanted to beleive/that id get caught up when the rage in me subsides::
 
"A Separate Reality" by Carlos Castaneda...or "A Journey to Ixtlan" by Carlos Castaneda...all of Castaneda's other works lack enormously what those first two hold...those first two books are simply incredible.
 
I don't think 'go ask Alice' has an author, its a true story, a girls diary and her name has been changed to Alice for publishing.
My fav books are kinda wierd horror/fantasy
Exquiste corpse by Poppy Z Brite
Roofworld by...I can't remeber right now but he also wrote rune, Soho black ect

so many
- fear and loathing in las vegas, Hunter s Thompson
- junky, William s. Burroughs
- brave new world, aldous huxley
- the sickness unto death, kierkegard
yeah
the best poet is allen ginsberg, hands down, read his epic HOWL
damn its good
 
These are highly varied but here goes:
"Still Life with Volkswagens" G.Nicholson
"As the Lake Dreams the Sky" Swain Wolfe
"The Mists of Avalon" M.Z. Bradley
"The Poisonwood Bible" Barbara Kingsolver
"The Prophet" Kahlil Gibran (this one's helped me through some dark times...)
"Angela's Ashes" Frank McCourt
"Fool's Crow" T.E. Mails
"Black Elk Speaks" J.G. Neihardt
 
Just finished *Angela's Ashes*. Very good. Very sad.
Some of my favorites:
* Even Cowgirls Get the Blues*
*Still Life with Woodpecker* - Tom Robbins
*The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test* (highly highly recommended) - Tom Wolfe
*One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest* (companion to *Kool Aid*) - Ken Kesey
anything by Terrence McKenna
*Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintainance* - Robert Pirsig (I have to read it again and again cuz I stil don't fully get everything in there)
*Bomb the Suburbs* - Upski (I think that's his name)
Obviously I have not read enough female authors, gotta work on that!!
Another sad thing- I read most of these books in high school and haven't read hardly any books since (I'm 22!!). My brain would turn to mush, but I still read a lot of college texts and short stories; does that count?
 
bleeeh
House of Leaves by Daniel something or other, hes Poes brother, the singer.
Perfume, by patrick Suskind, one of kurt cobains favorites.
The Great and secret show, and Everville, by Clive Barker.
Notes of a dirty old man, by Bukowski
Definetly Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintanence.
Kafka yummy, salinger yummy, Neitchze(and I'm sure I spelled it wrong), etc etc.
Anything of mine of course

I really like the Left Behind Series by Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins. Although they are religious books, they are good reading for anyone. I am catholic but not exactly practicing. I've read the 1st 7 and I'm just waiting for the next one to come out. They are awesome-it's hard to put them down!!
I hope you try them out.
1) Left Behind
2) Tribulation Force
3) Nicolae
4) Soul Harvest
5) Appolyon
6) Assasins
7) can't remember the name
------------------
Beginnings are usually scary--endings are usually sad--but it's the middle that counts! :)
 
Density of Souls by Chris Rice
anything by Carl Hiaasen

...lift myself up till tomorrow holds me down again... ~ Moby
 
~Jay's Journal.. Like the guy version of Go Ask Alice except with witchcraft and spirituality
~Diary of an emotional idiot by Maggie Estep.. Such a good book to me, so funny

Oh, yeah- how could I forget Bukowski???
a quote-
"Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must live."
