List your must read books, maybe I'll combine all of 'em into one list, and sort them with a poll once we get a bunch of them.

-In no particular order-

The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
The Dharma Bums
Coming of age in the milky way
the dancing Wu li masters
Dante's inferno
Everyman: From Simple Numbers to the Calculus
the giver
My boyscout handbook:tongue2:
the illuminatus
the hobbit
the lion the witch and the wardrobe
zen mind beginner's mind
starship troopers
the call of the wild
fight club
great expectations
dance of the fallen monk
a peoples history of the world
the age of reason
1984
the art of warfare......I definitely didn't understand the depth of this book the first time through.



They're not the greatest books ever written or anything, but they're all books that made an enormous impression on me at various points in my life. They're the books that I would make sure I had available if I had a kid, and that's the point.

Anyway, that should get the list started.:awesome:




What a garbage list. Fuck 7 years ago douchebag me. The hitchhikers guide is still cool though.

not sure if its made it on the list yet, but I would consider
"the good earth" by pearl s buck to be a must read. it truly changed my life, was one of the very first books I can remember that helped give me my love for the land. and an appreciation for things that are of real value over those that are only just temporary. I can say with confidence that it helped shape me into the person I am today.

I loved it when I was younger.  In 33 now though, and it just seems like childish escapism.

:manofapproval:

Bamboo Bed is good too. do you like Vietnam fiction. it's fuckin' superb; written in 1969, pretty much coming off of the war. he was a reporter to Nation mag, the author, and so it's quite pristine though it's without fault, it's also kooky as fuck. it's brilliant. check it out, man.

nice to see you back.

I pop in and out every now and then.

I really enjoyed 1q84 by Murakami recently.  Long as shit though. It's the first book I've read by him.

oh really! i wanna read that next by him, but first i read semi-recently was Kafka On The Shore. shit bent my mind and twisted me into a bunch of metaphysical thought, it was ingenious.

i here good things about 1q84, sci-fi tripptastic.

Pretty decent list, i have read the majority of those books. Now-a-days I barely ever read any fiction, but more likely books associated with differing fields of science, ancient civilizations, classic philosophy, geopolitics, etc... :mushroom2:

I'm going to write a computer program that detects when book threads come up and posts "Read Loren Eiseley".
