I'm bored, and I don't have anything to read. Any recommendations? It has to be an relatively well-known, though, to be an ebook in my library system.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Book Recommendations?
|
What do you want to read?
Are we talking fiction, science fiction, philosophy, science, classics...
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
What genre do you prefer? Some of the forum members here have published there own books, have you read those?

Whatever... I don't know; I read mostly fiction, I suppose, and this ranges from classics to YA novels. But I am trying to read more nonfiction. Besudes, I kind of need to break out of my comfort zone (easy-to-read fiction) a bit.
No, I was not aware that some forum members have published their own books. They should feel free to recommend those books, so I can read them, and judge them harshly.

I've got e-versions of Hitchens, God is Not Great.
Dawkins - God Delusion and The Blind Watchmaker Israel Finkelstein's The Bible Unearthed & The Forgotten Kingdom Bart Ehrman's Lost Christianities; Misquoting Jesus; Forged; and Jesus Interrupted William Dever's Did God Have A Wife and, for something really offbeat... Walter Miller's A Canticle for Leibowitz. If you want any just PM an email address and I'll send them to you. RE: Book Recommendations?

Dawkins writes wonderfully indeed, I thought climbing mount improbable was also cute, but blind watchmaker is great.

Thanks, just downloaded God is Not Great. Goodnight, y'all.

Okay, so, here are some books that are either with arms reach at this very moment, or that I think you might enjoy.
Modern/Postmodernism: Ulysses by James Joyce Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon (actually, anything by Pynchon is amazing.) The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon (probably better to read this first. GR is really long.) Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Wolf Because You Liked 1984, You Might Also Enjoy: Brave New World by Aldous Huxley Fahrenheit 451 by- Ray Bradburry Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell (really, anything Orwell did, though) Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess (the Kubrick film is an absolute masterpiece as well, but it's singularly disturbing) Maybe more later, not sure. |
