Caleb Best book you ever read. (242* d) RE: Best book you ever read. 16 Sep 00


Newcomer; been checking y'all out for a long time, didn't know when to plunge in. Bookishness is a good reason.

Mostly modern stuff, short term memory loss and all:

Cold Mountain - C. Frazier
Dr. Zhivago - Pasternak (sp)
Far Tortuga - P. Mathiessen ("It de modern time, mon.")
The Glory and the Dream - W. Manchester
Beyond the Bedroom Wall - L. Woiwode
Daniel Martin - J. Fowles
In Our Time - E. Hemingway
October Light - John Gardner
Anything by Patrick O'Brian (Dr. Maturin!)
On the Road - J. Kerouac
Dubliners - J. Joyce
And a probably out-of-print Irish trilogy I read when I was a teenager by Walter Maclen (sp?) that that Orangeman ranter oughta read.

Words are what make us. String 'em together and make it count.
