I have read 4 of those 5 books for my high school english classes. They were actually some of the better books we read. Heart of Darkness is pretty good

I hope that sad face isn't towards A Farewell to Arms. My favorite work from my favorite author.



This book fleshes out everything I love about the minimalist style. Echoes of Hemingway are apparent but the writing done in a strong, unique way that McCarthyjustifies the claims made of him by critics as being the best American author alive today.

After The Road I'll be reading



EDIT: The title of the book is Less Than Zero, in case it's difficult to see on the picture.

Dude, The Road is such a good book. I hope they don't butcher it with the movie.

due to the hype from NT....

The sad face is reading all those books in a week's time.

Hemingway is a great writer -- no doubt about that. Hills Like White Elephants and Snows of Kilimanjaro are the greatest short stories in American Literature. I'm not a fan, however.

I hardly ever have the time or energy to read for leisure during the semester.

Same here. I've had The Road on deck for a minute, but I have absolutely no time to even start it.

And I really don't enjoy Hemingway, either. Sorry, The3RealF0lkBlu3s. Read a ton of his stuff, but I don't like his style/

Haha, I understand, a lot of people are particular about writing and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Great pick on the Howard Zinn book. Reading this:

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I couldn't sleep last night so I ran through the last 50 pages of The Great Divorce. I'm probably the most untypical English major in the world. Theonly book I read this year was the book I had to read for my Theology class. (The Great Divorce) I'm getting back into reading though. Started up 1984 lastnight as well and I'm ready to go.
