Wait a minute...
Isn't this page supposed to be about authors? Well, yes, but that page
still hasn't been written, so I drudged up this old page from an old website
and stuck it here. Deal with it. Anyhow, a little list of some of my favorite books:
- The Lord of the Rings: J.R.R Tolkien.
An epic adventure... how could you not love it? Even better when you take the
dive and read his other writings about middle-earth.
- Breakfast of Champions (and everything else): Kurt
Vonnegut. I read my first Vonnegut book at around 15, and I
fell in love. He had such an ability to put simply and
concisely all the things I was thinking. I'm still surprised
at the number of my opinions his books have influenced. I
can't think of any way I can praise him more (or is that
insult?)
- Crime and Punishment: Fydor Dostoyevsky.
- Notes from
Underground: Fydor Dostoyevsky. I would have put the whole
collection (again!) but I haven't read everything yet. I've seriously
considered learning Russian so that I could read these in their
original language. If only there were more hours in the day.
- Thus Spoke (Spake) Zarathustra: Freidrich Nietzche.
Another one I would read in the original language if I had time to
learn it. Caused me to entertain majoring in Philosophy.
- Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (misnamed trilogy): Douglas
Addams. Introducing some levity after Dostoyevsky and Nietzche. A
hilarious set of books. And, at no extra charge, gives you the
meaning of life, though you probabally won't like it.
- Basically anything by Margaret Atwood. Terrific poet, great
novelist, Canadian.
When you get to the bottom you go back to the [TOP] of the slide.
What's with this
lumpy crap?
