Sayonara Posted December 12, 2003 Author Posted December 12, 2003 Finished Catcher and Brave New World; I'm now on "Memoirs of a Geisha". Does anyone know if there's some sort of clever in-joke centered around the word "indefatiguable" in BNW? Huxley uses the word in every chapter without fail until about 2/3 of the way through, where he stops using it completely

Sayonara Posted February 14, 2004 Author Posted February 14, 2004 Did everyone stop reading or something? I was on "Ulysses" but it's quite heavy going, and I don't have a lot of time right now. So I have put it back on the shelf for now to read John Grisham's "A Painted House" instead. V good book about murder and family secrets in the Arkansas cotton harvests... strange but true.

I hear its good, and i've been plannign to borrow it from me friend. indefatigable...kinda' like Lenina's performance? anywho, i'm just reading textbooks; i'm not as fortunate as you guys who have the freedom to choose what you read
Crash Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 I just Started reading an autobiography called "moster". Its about a true american gansta and quite graphic.........but highly recommended The best book i have read and finished to date is "The Reality Dysfunction" the first book in the night dawn trilogy.......it has everything from Zero gravity sex to the metaphysical queries

It's enjoyable, although Salinger probably couldn't believe his rotten luck when he realised joe public loved it as I'm fairly sure it's meant to be a scathing commentary on "the way people are". I'm going to re-read it soon as I'm sure it has some fairly complex subtexts, despite the deceptively simple approach to the story.
-Demosthenes- Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 I'm reading The Fellowship of the ring, which I have been planing to do since I saw the movies I enjoy the Books By Asmov, Bradbury, and I've read a lot of Orsen Scott Card. For fun sometimes I use to read those punny books, the Xanth Novels by Piers Anthony.
daisy Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 Right now I'm re-reading "Clarissa" by Samuel Richardson...a very early 18th century novel. But I read anything from pulp fiction to classics....I'm going to get into Vikram Seth's "A suitable Boy" next which I keep attempting but get side tracked from. Sorry...the sentence construction was way off there but hey, I'm in a rush!
dronezero Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 I'm currently reading The Brothers Karamazov - Fyodor Dostoevsky I had attempted to read Ulysses a short while ago, but had to set it aside until I had more time as well.
NSX Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 Actually, I'm reading Think by Blackburn for my Philosophy class. It's not really a textbook.
