slyfox4323 09-Nov-06, 05:22	A couple of my favorites The Belgariad (David Eddings) The Mallorean (David Eddings) These 10 books actually make up one story.A very entertaining set. I have read them all 3 times already and i'm sure I will read them again in a couple years : ) I will be happy to give anyone the list of books if they like fantasy novels and are interested
slyfox4323 09-Nov-06, 05:27	Silver Wolf, Black Falcon (Dennis Mckiernan) This is the finale to his Mithgar books. If you're not familiar with him most of his books tie in together giving you almost a complete history of his fantasy world. This is what makes him one of my favorite authors. If you're interested in venturing to Mithgar his first book is "The Dragonstone"

amitanandan 17-Nov-06, 20:38	R> L> Stevenson treasure island. this has got to be my all time favourite
lamb_burger 17-Nov-06, 20:51	Favorites, that I remember. For Whom the Bell Tolls (Hemmingway) The Sun Also Rises(Hemmingway);often boring, then, abruptly, the ending makes it all brilliant. The Brothers Karamazov (Dosteovsky) Les Miserables (Hugo) The Centaur (John Updike) Rabbit, Run (John Updike) Siddhartha (Hesse) The Stories of John Cheever (John Cheever) Women (Charles Bukowski); another one in which the ending shines retrospective brilliance. East of Eden (John Steinbeck) Tristesse (Jack Karouac) I haven't read a book for a period of months now, the longest in over a decade. Writing this short list has had a woeful effect on me.
amitanandan 18-Nov-06, 03:37	A passage to India...the co existence of multiple realities It took me time to realize that my India is similar to the human body with its seats of power and intellect and various indriyas. At times the body is guided by reason, and at other times by mere emotion. It might feel rigid in the morning, elastic by day time, overexcited by evening, and frustrated by night. It fights its ups and downs, tides and ebbs, low and high spirits. It looks different if observed from various angles: familiar yet mysterious, gorgeous yet shabby, pure yet impure. I have visited many other countries, but I reserve this complex metaphor of the body for India . A. M. Kadakin
rilke 19-Dec-06, 00:32	The Power of Myth The Power Of Myth........ Joseph Campbell and discussion with Bill Moyers.
chessbeatswork 08-Jan-07, 08:09	Reading is fundamental... East of Eden By John Steinbeck (in truth, anything by Steinbeck. But this was my fave) Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut The Prince by Machiavelli (regardless of literary merit, this book should be required reading in any school curriculum) Many more, but these are the three that I can pick up at any time and read to the exclusion of all other activity.
rilke 20-Apr-07, 12:57	Don Quijote de La Mancha It is a classic! I read it in spanish and english.This book brought Cervantes to his peak in Literature! Miguel de Cervantes was born in Spain and fouth in the Spanish Armada during the late 16th century.
