Enthralling Books?

[jnuts]

Two books that are good, but nothing like their movies are "Starship Troopers" and "Planet of the Apes", with "Starship Troopers" being a better read. It's a "thought-provoking meditation on citizenship, military service, education, discipline and punishment, and the balance between rights and responsibilities."

I'm reading "Empire Falls" right now by Richard Russo. It's not a "hold on to your ass" type book, but it's a really well written novel about life in a small town. It won a Pulitzer a couple of years ago.

Some other ones I have read recently that were good:

"The Buddha of Suburbia" - Hanif Kureishi

"Brave New World" - Aldous Huxley

"Survivor" - Chuck Palahniuk

"Breakfast of Champions" - Kurt Vonnegut

SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE!-- one of my favorite books.

THE STRANGER!-- dark, surrealist.

FRANKENSTEIN

I can't think of any other books to list to make me sound smart... j/k.

These books are seriously awesome though- i think one or all three of these are on that list of 50 greatest books...

Wise be this one in the ways of literature.

I think I've read brave new World over 100 times. Same deal with "1984".

Good books IMO.

"All Quiet on the Western Front"

"All Quiet on the Western Front"

It figures that you would read something that degrades German culture.

I would argue that this book is actually anti-war as opposed to anti-German. The reason that I like this book is because it shows WWI from the other perspective.

I just thought that you might appreciate your nonsensical accusation if it's directed at you.

And yes, Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front is a good anti-war novel, although it is not his best work.
