shamelessly ripped off from dumbbooks

[pockettheroach]

I like books. Here are the current top 46 books from www.whatshouldireadnext.com. Bold the books you have read. Italicise the books you might read. Leave the rest. Pass it on:

1. The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
2. The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger
3. The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy - Douglas Adams
4. The Great Gatsby - F.Scott Fitzgerald

The Ghost of the English Language!

Welcome back, by the way...

I really like The Great Gatsby, but I hated it the first time I read it. Perhaps that was because I was made to read it for school. It's really quite good, though.

I quite liked Neuromancer, but maybe that's because I was reading it on my own time and mostly for the 'wow this guy invented our concept of the internet and oh look it's the Matrix films' rather than the plot.

I am not going to do the list, it is too embarassing. I've read the Harry Potters, the Lord of the Rings and Good Omens and that's about it. But! As a booky person, have you seen www.bookcrossing.com? It is quite likely there is bookcrossing going on somewhere near you and it's a fun thing.

And hello again! *waves*

You know, I signed up for bookcrossing. Then I realized I was going to have ninety kinds of trouble giving away my books...

I kind of went through the same thing: I liked Neuromancer, until I read Snow Crash and found out how the real world really worked. Now I think that William Gibson's a wanker.

Catch-22 is quite good, I do declare. It should appeal to the Discordian in you and thus, even though it isn't italicized, I highly recommend it!
