You might also enjoy Che Guevara by John Lee Anderson. It’s a really comprehensive biography of him and it’s very well written.
Watership Down’s not fantasy. It’s fiction just with rabbits speaking rabbit language we can’t understand.
Honestly, if you want my oppinion I have trouble placing Incarnations in any specific genre, really. It DOES have some fantastic elements, but still. But that’s just my oppinion.
May I suggest Outlaws of the Marsh, AKA The Water Margin.
Good for Suiko fans, it is.
And also, Romance of the 3 Kingdoms.
The reason I stopped reading that was because of a lack of a good translation at my local library.
Might I suggest The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas?
Already read it for a paper in college. Had to compare Dumas’s writing to a less action oriented writer, such as Flaubert.
Or something like that.
“Naked Lunch”, by Wiliam S. Burroughs. William S. Burroughs was a friend of Jack Kerouac, they’re both from the beatnick era.
Dude…I know. I haven’t read Naked Lunch, but I should have. Man I suck.
I haven’t read them yet, but the Jason Bourne books by Robert Ludlum are supposed to be excellent.
If you’re into mystery books, I’d reccomend anything by Agatha Christie.
Phalaniuk (Surivor, Fight Club) is kind of a toss up. A lot of people like his book Choke, but I found it to be boring and repetitious. Surivivor is pretty good though, and the humor is a lot easier to find than in Choke, which is supposdly a really funny book.
Into poetry any? If so, I’d suggest Emily Dickinson, e.e. cummings, Hemingway, and Witman.
I’d also reccomend plunking down the bucks for one of those complete works of Poe books. “The Masque of the Red Death”, “The Cask of Amontiallado”, “The Black Cat”, “A Tell Tale Heart” are all excellent.
The rantings and ravings of Emerson and Thoreau are great too.
Gone with the Wind is pretty good. Reading some of the slave dialogue is obnoxious though.
I still haven’t quite run dry yet, so I’m sure I can think of more.
Are you sure you’re not confusing Brave New World with Foundation? kersnicker
I’m amazed someone out there would actually be willing to RE read that damned book. Hell I’ve never met anyone who has even finished it. I’ve tried, but I can’t. What makes you want to reread it? It’s like…rereading Atlas Shrugged or something.
I might get lynched for this, but I’m reading the Harry Potter books at the moment (Flaming Goblet as we speak) and I thought it might be worth it, giving a reading tip.
It’s not much, the first book (200?), but they expand considerably… (400+ the last one)
