You must be joking. I'm into all types of "literature" so I think that's highly inappropriate.
So quick to dislike someone. |
The Passion of New Eve by Angela Carter.
It's... weird. In a good way. |

Almost all kinds. I'm into romance/crime/mystery/epics/etc.
Before I was reading The Twilight Series I was reading "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown. Before that, "The Blood of Flowers" by Anita Amirrezvani. And before THAT, "The Devil's Code" by John Sandford and so on and so on. Can you suggest something? To be honest, I really want to go beyond and read something that is out of this world. Something I will be able to read over and over again. |

Thanks Methadrine. You so are right. I know I'm going to be thrown off by the old English though but I should give it a try.
|
It's not Old English, it's Early Modern English. It's relatively easy to get, and most collections will have a glossary of confusing terms.
|
Thanks JCC. When I have the chance I will get that book.
Oh, and in my mind it's Old English haha. I remember when I was in highschool trying to read some of his works. I felt like my head was going to explode even though I enjoyed it. |

I stand corrected.
Although I do enjoy reading, I'm no literature buff by any means. |
Back on topic: I recently finished A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin and am a few pages into it's sequel, The Tombs of Atuan. Before that I read Count Zero by William Gibson.
As for a recommendation Turqoise, I mostly like sci-fi and fantasy, almost never re-read books, and am not a literary buff by any stretch of the imagination, but you might try American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I enjoyed it more than any other book I've read. |
Wow, American Gods sounds really good. I will add that to my list. Thanks.

Do not mock (I know you aren't) the Complete Works. I am in the middle of it for the third time. I am also knee deep in The Complete Plays of Anton Chekhov. Because I am so core. *Insert eyes rolling* I have a really hard time getting all the way through a book without starting another. |
Chekhov is fantastic.

I am a fan. Very much so a fan.

'Out of the Silent Planet' by C.S Lewis.
I'm almost certain that Phillip Pullman used it for inspiration for the parts about Mary Malone's actions in The Amber Spyglass. I just wish I had the other two books to the 'Space Triology'... |

Right now, I am reading Ariel: the Restored Edition (book of poems) by Sylvia Plath.
God, I love how she writes/wrote. |
I just started Huxley's "After many a summer dies the swan."
Has anyone read it? |
The Road Less Traveled-M. Scott Peck
Psychoanalysis by Sigmund Freud is next. |
The Hot Zone = Richard Preston, about the Ebola Zaire virus.
