RealMS · 05-14-2005, 08:39 PM

I'm giving away some of my ques-st-ee-ons for my later interviews but I wanna know,

What type of books are yall reading/like to read? Horror, Self-Improvement, etc. etc.

and-

What books are you all reading? Name em. Got an author in mind, name that too.

I just went to Barnes & Nobles earlier today (and got soaked in the rain!) and when I go there (once in a blue moon) I always go to the poetry section. Well, when I was waiting in line to check out I saw this whole row of books on sale. I didn't have much time so I asked the guy behind me to hold my spot. They had books from $25-50 on sale for $2-5. I never saw that, and they say they always have stuff on sale. I picked up this book called The Green Hour by Frederic Tuten and a Nikki Giovanni book from the poetry section. The Green Hour is a love novel on this young art historian-struggling between two different ppl. That's all I know for now lol.

K, time to discuss my ppl.

Åffliction · 05-16-2005, 10:04 PM

I just read Ellen Hopkins - Crank. I thought the book was structured differently but I really liked it alot and it was captivating. Leonard Goldberg - Brain Waves a real nice book that holds your attention. And the one that I'm reading right now is Dean Koontz - Frankenstein and so far its pretty good. But crank was amazing. I want to read more of Ellen Hopkins Do you know if she has anymore books coming out Bhitiah.

Bhitiah · 05-17-2005, 08:34 PM

Nah but have you ever read, Go ask Alice -Anonymous??? It's good too

You should most definately peep it if you read Crank ...

I just finished reading, "And I dont want to live this life" by Deborah Spungen ...It's a book about the lead singer of the sex pistols and his screwed up girlfriend.

kuine · 05-18-2005, 01:48 PM

i read alot of stuff..are you looking for poetry books?...i dont really read poetry books unless its old school ...langston hughes...or i might pick up a nikki giovanni...but i like to read alot of zane books and eric jerome dickey..omar tyree...michael baisden...things like that...

RealMS · 05-18-2005, 05:02 PM

^no I was just wondering what everyone who comes around this way of the site reads, or what they're into. Just keeping things simple, but I welcome anything beyond! Thanks.

Åffliction · 05-19-2005, 12:22 PM

Bhitiah I'm going to have to look for that book thanks for the recommendation. I'm not really into reading poems from poetry books.

eM-T · 05-19-2005, 01:28 PM

Jitter Bug Perfume - Tom Robbins

Skinny Legs and all - Tom Robbins

Invisible Monsters - Chuck Palahniuk (and anything else by him is good)
^ you have to read this book. (by the same guy who wrote fight club, only way the fuck better)

1984 - george orwell <----if anyone hasn't read this book, you probably spent too much time reading the bible, and not enough time questioning more important social issues that effect more than your own peace of mind.

The Perks of being a Wallflower - steven chebosky? (one of my favorite. very nostalgic

Charles Bukowski is always good. Very Raw.

Kurt Vonngut is good but very hit or miss with me. I liked Blue Beard a lot.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Ken Kesey

The Vagina Monologues - Eve Ensler

Fast Food Nation & Reefer Madness - Eric Schlosser

Nickel and Dimed - Barbara Ehrenreich

A People's History of the United States - Howard Zinn

(also liked smack)

Im reading this now. One of the best lines I read for how I feel right now..
.. The Solace of Leaving Early - Haven Kimmel
the line.. "Amos said nothing; his tongue seemed to have failed him. But he thought one thing over and over, the way he used to think a single thought in church on Sunday until he nearly choked on it: You are all wrong. You are all completely wrong about this. We live lives that are hopelessly broken, and we know it. (p.14)

this was a good idea realms. Now I have some books to look out for and authors I am unfamiliar with.

RealMS · 05-19-2005, 04:43 PM

^That was the purpose my fellow artist Not just for my benefit lol, hopefully. I guess it helps.

Bhitiah · 05-19-2005, 05:51 PM

Reefer Madness was cool lol ....

Imma check out invisible monsters ...

I've read 1984 and it mos def was a good book to read.

One flew over the cuckoo's nest, I read that ...Isnt that a required book in high school? lol I think so

Åffliction · 05-19-2005, 09:27 PM

I have to find something to read?

eM-T · 05-20-2005, 05:26 AM

well.. not required in my highschool... but if it was in others that is bad ass... and yes... invisible monters is one of those books that made me want to read and read and read.. ammmmazing. Perks of being a Wallflower kicks ass too.. but.. very different... Perks is .. emotional.. Invisible Monsters is... emotional.. but also.. CRAZZZZYYY fucked up. in the most beautiful way you can imagine : )

RealMS · 05-20-2005, 02:42 PM

^sounds good to me. And that other book yall are talking about isn't required down here. Next year I know MacBeth (Macbeth?) is required though.

Bhitiah · 05-20-2005, 04:24 PM

yeah one flew over the cuckoos nest was required here ...damn, lol ....
