Surreptitious

I just finished re-reading "A Brave New World".

Have you read it? If so, any thoughts?

What books have you read that you'd like to recommend?

i just finished 'Just Checking' by Emily Colas. it's about her struggle with obsessive-compulsive disorder. she has a brilliant sense of humor. it's hilarious; especially for a book that you would think would be anything but.

i'm also a huge David Sedaris fan and i'm currently reading 'Naked.' I received all of his books for my birthday and i'm working my way through them. he's amazing. i would highly recommend anything that he has authored.

Im currently re examining (for the second time) David Remnicks "Lenins tomb" . It won the pulitzer prize (none fiction)in 1994. Chiefly its about the reopening of the history books in Russia under Gorbachev and how the revelations of the TRUTH of Soviet history (rather than the whitewashed version presented by the party) blew the Soviet empire all to hell.

A Tree Grows In Brooklyn By Betty Smith

Surreptitious

Yes Riz, David Sedaris is great! In fact, this is the wrong thread, but he just might be my favorite "person of alternative sexual persuasion"! Well, one of them anyway.

Refiner, "Lenin's Tomb" sounds like an interesting read.

Meadow, what is "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" about? This tree doesn't have bands on it does it??? hehe

"A Brave New World" is a great book, but I hate the part where they turn on the electric floor under the infants.

"A Brave New World"

He's coming! Our Ford's coming!
A gramme is better than a damn.

Good stuff!

On my bookshelf, as yet pristine but slated for absorption directly, are Steven Hawking's Universe and Stonehenge Decoded.

*raises eyebrows three times quickly at the thought of riz reading naked*

I've been assigned a couple of the works of Tom Robbins. I read alot, but only information (I do like my info written well, but if it's not, well hey, I still have the info); most fiction makes me feel as if a bad used car salesman is trying to persuade me to buy his vision.

*shiver* I feel vulnerable opening my heart and mind to Tom Robbins. Hold me riz!
