Okay, so I'm about to finish the book I am currently reading for Ind. Reading, and I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for another book for that class. You've probably told me to read this or that before, but I'm ignorant at times and would appreciate any suggestions. Not much going on today, whether that is good or bad, I have yet ( Read more... )

Two books:

Pearl S Buck's "The Good Earth"

Ken Follet's "Pillars of the Earth"

The first is a classic set in china. It deals with cycles and the land.
The second is historically accurate fiction about the raising of a cathedral during the middle ages. Over the course of more than a century if I remember correctly. While "The Good Earth" is one of those books you have to read to be well rounded like "Moby Dick" etc. I would reccommend reading "Pillars of the Earth" first.

The Kite Runner: NYT best-seller a little while ago, but don't let that discourage you. ;) An easier read, but well, well worth it. Absolutely wonderful.

1984
