Can anyone recommend a good book? I'm going away on vacation pretty soon... gotta have something for the beach.
I just finished reading one called "Motherless Brooklyn"... good read, if anyone's interested.

If you like Motherless Brooklyn then get 'The Fortress of Solitude' by the same author [Jonathan Lethem], brilliant book.

No shit Gordy, i'm reading American tabloid at the moment - very cool book. the sequal, 'Cold Six thousand' is very cool too. I would also reccomend 'Zen and the art of motercycle maintenance' to anyone, as well as anything by william gibson, if you have not been there allready.

You know I have to say I much prefered American Tabloid; Cold 6 was alright but I think kemper Boyde made he first one.
Just love his style of writting. So cool. subconciously I started to write e mails like it whilst reading it.

yeah. i like how Pete Bondurant turned out in Cold 6. Ellorys got mad styles. i heard that once an editor told him to shorten a 900 page work to 350 pages, he did it by eliminating all the verbs! I think it was White Jazz, not sure.

if you haven't already,
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay or any thing by him really

REad that scoops - awsome book. Wierd tho'. Have you read any of his others? Can you recomend any?

Ya, i've read most of them... I just picked up his new on, Final Solution... so far it's pretty good, but very thin... Wonder Boys it great and his first one, Mysteries of Pittsburgh (or something close to that)

I'm stupid. I forgot my real favorite book that you better read:
Terry Southern - The Magic Christian
Guy Grand is the one person I would like to be most in life. I no longer want to be Michael Jordan like I did in junior high.

you cant' beat dan brown for a vacation book-
angels and demons da vinci code or deception pointi know these are obvious
- Tara0
leviathan - paul auster

I read da vinci... i dunno... i liked it and all, but it just seemed to me that the novel was TOTALLY being groomed for a screen adaptation.
interesting nonetheless.
some of these are piling up on the list. thanks a bunch guys. great thread.
