Your Top 20 Favourite Books?

[Ivich]

probably half

Considering your original "favorite" list is mostly required reading in school

But carry on trying to impress ppl on the internet with your fake ass favorite list

Hemingway,Faulks,Salinger,Fitzgerald.Aichkinson,Gr eene,McCarthy,Tolstoy, Melville,Williams are not,"required reading in our schools,in fact several of them are largely forgotten .

I'm English, in the UK only Steinbeck is currently on the Eng Lit syllabus. When I took the subject it was ****ens .
I know this to be correct because two of my Sunday drinking pals are English teachers
At 74 years of age ,I don't feel the need to impress anyone . least of all complete strangers on another continent and certainly not a mentally limited muppet like yourself.
Now why don't you be a good boy and shut your ****** ,conceited mouth.

Neal Stephenson Novels. Most of them anyway.

Nelson DeMille novels.

Goodreads is a great site to check reviews and look over lists.

Thanks for the heads up!

Do androids dream of electric sheep. First book I ever read as a kindergartner and I had to explain to the teacher and classmates about the meaning of it. Immediately got promoted to teacher assistant

Philip K **** .totally different to the film.

I've read a great deal in the course of my life. However, I'm too lazy to sit down and work out a list of my top 20 favorites. On the other hand, there is one book that I've read numerous times in the original Russian and the English translation. By far, it is my all-time FAVORITE on a number of different levels.

БРАТЬЯ КАРАМАЗОВЫ / THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV by Fyodor M. Dostoyevsky

Thanks to the author of this thread! I haven't read it in quite a while, but this thread inspired me to dig out a copy and get into it again. lol

BTW, the classic movie with Yul Brynner is worth watching. It's a good flick with some big names. However, it doesn't even scratch the surface of the depth of the novel. Below is a trailer for the original movie with Brynner and his gorgeous leading lady, Maria Schell.

I read it in English about 50 years ago,and a couple of years ago goth the audio version for the car .

The border trilogy isn't bad but well, it's McCarthy. It will be brutal and depressing. Haha. But there are cool moments as well. It's like reading a western version of Ernest Hemingway with some Melville thrown in.

Blood Meridian has been compared to Melville.

You really shouldn't

So next time put together a real list of your favorite stuff

Instead of bs try hard lists

You do know why your list is so obviously bs and fake right?

Yeah, Lord of the Flies is great. And I think probably pretty realistic. Take the civilization away and people would definitely change. Hopefully there's a few Ralphs and Piggies around. Hehe.
