Suggest a book?

[prplchknz]

I don't know if this is a good idea or not, but, I was thinking one member could post a title of a book they liked, and another member whose read the first book could make recommendations that somehow relate to the first book.

is that too convoluted?

Catch 22.

 

[prplchknz]

I would make a suggestion, but I haven't read that yet, I plan too. Maybe after Fight Club, who knows.

 

[Wade Wilson]

Ninteen Eighty-Four

The House at Riverton. I know lots of great classics, but this is actually a good "new" book that did super well in the UK and Australia, but hasn't caught on in the States ...yet!

Are you looking for fiction or non-fiction?

 

[Laurie]

Mmmm Books.

 

[prplchknz]

fiction, non-fiction, doesn't matter. I always get to the point where I've read a book then I have a list of books I want to read but not at the moment, so I was thinking that if people made suggestions related to books someone has read. Like lets say I just read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and I really liked that book (which I have, and i did), and the next book I wanted to read was something similar to that, someone else might know of a book, that relates to it in some way. do you get it?

Well Wade suggested 1984, so on that note I would highly recommend Orwell's non-fictional works like Road to Wigan Pier and especially Homage to Catalonia - which is about his combat experiences in the Spanish Civil War.

and let's take Homage to Catalonia and follow up with Don Quixote!

(this is fun!)

How about the next person explains the next choice? (Good thread idea)

that's not a bad idea either.

And then we can follow up with Revolt of the Masses by José Ortega y Gasset.

I loved reading this in junior high...
