Old Hippie Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 I'll go with anything by Hunter Thompson, "On the Road" and "Dharma Bums" by Keroauc, My all time favorite book might be Don Quixote...versions vary based on translation, but over all a good book. He was fucked up in the head, and messed up over a whore, some how, I can relate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonny Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Big thumbs-up for the "Wind-Up Bird Chronicle." In a lot of ways, I liked Murakami's "Kafka on the Shore" even more. One of the main characters is a "concept." Hard to get my head around that one, but somehow it works. I just finished "Ghostwritten" by David Mitchell and it was mostly excellent, though I wasn't crazy about the ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
