Hey it was ok. I liked its pace but some ppl thought it was kinda off beat. I think you should read it.

Fahrenheit 451, The Pearl, The Hobbit & The Lord Of The Ring trilogy, Catch 22

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
All The King's Men by Robert Penn Warren
The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck

But in the brief time right now that I have to read things other than school books, I'm leaning toward biographies. Love to read about people's lives.

A Million Little Pieces - James Frey

Shantaram - Gregory David Roberts

I can strongly recommend the following:

Raymond E Fiest's Riftwar Saga - (Magician,Darkness At Sethanon,etc)
"State Of Fear" by cant remember lol

and loads more, but too stoned to think lmfaoooo

oh dear

Oh yeah...
The Hitch-Hikers Guide...by Douglas Adams...anything by him is FAF

Weird stuff, very cool describes Tom Robbins percfectly. Haven't read that one, but of the ones that I have read (even cowgirls get the blues, jitterbug perfume, and skinny legs and all) I LOVED 'skinny legs and all'. He's a really fun author- VERY intelleigent and irreverent.

- the lord of the rings

I'm trying to think of a book that took me a long time to get into that I luved....mmmm, I got nothin -but I know there've been a couple.

well the beginning is always the slowest part

yeah i guess it isnt pointless but to me reading a book that i cant get into is best compared to forcing myself to watch cspan like i may learn something but god i hate it

1. The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald - best writer in my opinion. if you really read it and pay attention to his choice of words and how well he describes everything its amazing.

2. survivor - chuck palahnuik

3. choke - chuck palahnuik
