I'm more like "Wow this dude's got STYLE"
Also substance
--- End quote ---
I completely agree with that. Style with a capital 'S', though i think it may need to be written Substance also. :-)
Usopp:
I'd have to say...
Jane Eyre
The Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde(yes, two "effs")
The Song of Ice and Fire series
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
Anything and everything by Terry Pratchett
The Count of Monte-Cristo
Cyanin:
big reader, difficult to narrow stuff down...
would probably go with:
1984 (cliche much? :laugh:) really weird ideas in there if you try to imagine living in that kind of society
The Catcher in the Rye (surprise surprise)
Red Dragon
Northern Lights (The Golden Compass if you're in America)
The Zombie Survival Guide (a damn entertaining book, 'get you reading it as a joke, but by page 50 you're out buying a machete just to be safe') :laugh:
instrumentals:
Pretty sure I have the most rag-tag list of anyone here:
The Unbearable Lightness of Being - Milan Kundera
- Can't sell this one enough! Beautiful and enlightening and stimulating in every way possible.
This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen - Tadeusz Borowski
- Devastating account of one man's life in a concentration camp. Firsthand. A collection of short stories.
A Short History of Nearly Everything - Bill Bryson
- Way too cool and will make you infinitely smarter (also humbled). Extremely readable.
Oryx and Crake - Margaret Atwood
- Just the perfect story, a dystopic vision of the future you can basically taste today. Very prescient. Very engaging.
Hocus Pocus - Kurt Vonnegut
- Best Vonnegut!!
Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas - Tom Robbins
- Best Tom Robbins!
A Short History of Progress - Ronald Wright
- Gain a lot of evidence of humanity's epic fail: use said evidence in almost every conversation. Totally worthwhile, even with the depressing.
Small Gods - Terry Pratchett
- Best Pratchett! Probably the closest I've felt to fondness for religion.
