Books I should have read.

<< < (2/9) > >>

Johnny C:
David Eggers - A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius
Mark Haddon - The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nighttime
Johnathan Franzen - The Corrections
Jonathan Lethem - Fortress Of Solitude
Jonathan Lethem - Motherless Brooklyn
Italo Calvino - If on a winter's night a traveller
Leo Tolstoy - The Death Of Ivan Ilyich
DBC Pierre - Vernon God Little
Michael Chabon - The Amazing Adventures Of Kavalier & Clay
Mordecai Richler - Barney's Version
Truman Capote - In Cold Blood
(and, if you liked that last one, Murder In Coweta County by Margaret Anne Barnes - lesser known, but really powerful)

Emaline:
Upton Sinclair - The Jungle.

Wikipedia link!

amok:
Terry Pratchett - The Color Of Magic. If you like this you'll probably end up reading the other ~25 books in the Discworld series, which is no bad thing, but everyone should at least read the first one.

Fuckin' A right, I loved this and re-read it to death when I was younger. Brilliant.

Good call on the Banks too, The Bridge might well be my favourite one. (Although really there's no bad ones, I'm a total fanboy.)

Johnny C:
Oh man I love Discworld. Faves are the Rincewind series and Carpe Jugulum. (Maskerade and The Truth are also pretty fun.)

amok:
Rincewind is badass. I also really, really like any of the books that prominently figure the city watch (Guards Guards, the Fifth Elephant etc)
