Really Great Books

[EWolfe]

 

Hey Mr E why don't you read "The Celestine Prophecy" and "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From venus" and report back if you survive

 

I did. I was in my thirties then.

How bout:

 

East of Eden - Steinbeck. I've never read a novel that nails down human nature and motivations so well and at the same time providing commentary of it...

Late posting as usual, but here's a good list for the tent bound:

 

Highbrow/literate:

Mortals and Mating by Norman Rush (not for the dim witted, very sharp observations)

Cunning Man and the 3 trilogies by Robertson Davies

Possession by A.S. Byatt ("Babel Tower" is OK too)

Baudolino by Umberto Eco

Solaris by Stanislaw Lem

 

Lowbrow:

A Man in Full by Tom Wolfe is pretty good

Hey, I make a serious effort to get spray back on track and look at this hairy-palm shit. Guess the book thread was all spawned out.

You're quite a multi-tasker.

I am glad that my computer at work blocks almost every picture you post.

I'm glad you're glad.
