I was also gonna suggest reccomend "running with scissors". I enjoy burroughs writing, his perspective is so uncommon yet somehow i think we can all relate on some level. Have you read "dry"?

@Annette - I haven't read Dry, (Burrough's also?) So, much to read, and so little time!!!

If you looking for something more modern then "Rule of the Bone" by Russell Banks.
Permalink Reply by Melissa Kocurek on March 25, 2012 at 8:49pm Anyone read The Host by Stephenie Meyer? She wrote the Twilight series. Anyway, I've heard it's good and they're making that into a movie too.
Permalink Reply by Me on April 11, 2012 at 3:51pm Hi Melissa:) I liked Stephanie Meyer's style of writing in the Twilight books, so I'll look for The Host to read. Thanks for suggesting it!
It's been a long time since I've read Robinson Crusoe Josh - maybe it's time I picked it up again!
I just read The Code Book: How to Make It, Break It, Hack It, Crack It and it was interesting to see how codes have been pivotal in influencing historical events.

Permalink Reply by Me on April 25, 2012 at 6:23am It seems that it does take a long time for a reply grandma (your name still makes me smile!). I feel somewhat responsible for not keeping the discussion going. Maybe we should try to read the books mentioned by everyone & then chat about them? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Permalink Reply by Michy Power on April 25, 2012 at 5:35pm The Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga bu Hunter S. Thompson.. just read it and its pretty interesting! A very good read.
Also my fac: A Street Car Named Desire
has anyone ever read The Gargoyle?... The Kite Runner? they're pretty good (BTW, went and saw The Hunger Games with my friends; cried when rue died). :'(
Permalink Reply by Melissa Kocurek on May 6, 2012 at 9:46am I cried too when Rue died. I just finished Catching Fire, the second book in The Hunger Games series. It was really good too. Can't wait to see it on film.
I'm just finishing up the semester. My final is on Thursday so I'm hoping to get to read all these great book suggestions this summer.
Permalink Reply by Me on May 3, 2012 at 3:39pm Hi Michy :) ~ Hunter S. Thompson was a great & unusual writer! Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas comes to mind although I've not read the book, but only saw the movie with Johnny Depp. I'll look for the one you mentioned thanks! And what a wonderful story A Streetcar Named Desire is! Again, I've never actually read it, but I could watch the movie many times & still find something interesting that I've missed.
Hello Janus :) ~ Both of the books you mentioned sound intriguing. I'll try to find them! Did you also see The Kite Runner the movie?
