Tool - [Jimmy]--- You are now given the unique opportunity to ask one thing of me, and one thing only: A Book.

That's right, the name of one book, from my own Library, which I think You would do well to read. Not a book I read and think others should read, because I liked it. I may well have hated the book you get. But there's only one way to know, at this juncture.

Ask.

Dream Well

Oh great and Mighty wolven what do you suggest for me?

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Oryx and Crake, Margaret Atwood

[pangeramorrow.livejournal.com]

oooh, that's a good one, i read it.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Definately a good, meaningful book.

[sadistic-apollo.livejournal.com]

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Global Frequency: Detonation Radio, Warren Ellis

[scamort.livejournal.com]

Oh great swami, do impart upon me knowledge.

oh shi- I'm not supposed to be online.. shh...

[pallandrome.livejournal.com]

I request Stardust. I've never actually read it, and lord knowns I need to.

*bow*

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Stardust is all well and good, but if you've not yet read Anansi Boys, then you need to, right now.

[pallandrome.livejournal.com]

But of course, I already HAVE. Stardust is, in fact, the only Neil Gaiman novel I've not yet read.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Then Stardust it is. Pay special attention to the lessons. Duh.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

King Rat, China Miéville

[momentai.livejournal.com]

What book that you posses should I read, in your opinion?

[wolven.livejournal.com]

A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess. The Original, not the parred down American crap. All 21 chapters.

[momentai.livejournal.com]

I don't know if it was abridged or not, but I read it in 1999, I beleive. Seemed fairly close to the film. Don't think what was deleted would have made much of difference in the movie, as the general idea is still there.

I don't like either version, frankly. The violence didn't serve the stories at all and all the slang in the book was quite distracting. Of coourse, I only read it that one time, so my opinion may change on another reading.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Deja Vu.

The Abbridged version doesn't show Alex's True choice, and his realisation of the knowledge of the title. He doesn't fully put together what he has lost and regained, until the end. Try it again.

Also, Doctor Faustus, Christopher Marlowe

[bluesummers.livejournal.com]

Questions.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

VALIS, Phillip K. Dick

[brigidreborn.livejournal.com]

Hrmm, what would you recommend for me? I'm interested.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

I don't know if you've read it already, though something tells me you have: Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials

[anarchette.livejournal.com]

im afraid to inquire now having read your most recent entry.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Never let my invective put you off; in fact it should drive you to the opposite.

Never be afraid to ask, but always know what you're doing when you do. Them's my Words Of Advice.

If Not, Winter : Fragments of Sappho Translated by Anne Carson

[anarchette.livejournal.com]

in being afraid, note that i did happen to comment anyways ;)

[wolven.livejournal.com]

I did note that, with some great pride and joy. *Smiles*

[anarchette.livejournal.com]

i will seek out this book, also, *inflates with pride*

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Good. I think you'll enjoy it.

[celestial-fluke.livejournal.com]

i'll bite. when i have finsihed 'from the corner of his eye' by dean koontz, what book do you suggest i buy next?

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Any of The Dark Tower Series.

If you don't have any, get the first one, if you have them all, get Black House

[tribeofone.livejournal.com]

I am slightly afffraid of my reading assignment as we have many of the same books ....but ok It will be a nicce break between stuff on corporate formation and international tax laws

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Waiting For Godot, Samuel Beckett

[tribeofone.livejournal.com]

I have read it many many times, during my study of Beckett

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Very good. A Wren, Ger Killeen

[michette.livejournal.com]

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Xenocide, Orson Scott Card

[okkitten.livejournal.com]

Me!

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Robot Visions, Isaac Asimov.

And you still need to borrow Children of Cthulhu.

[pangeramorrow.livejournal.com]

are you still looking at this post? is it too late for me to ask for one too?

[wolven.livejournal.com]

of Leaves and The Whalestoe Letters, Mark Z. Danielewski

[pangeramorrow.livejournal.com]

i already read that two years ago! it's one of my favorties, we talked about this. . .

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Did you read The Whalestoe Letters? There's more, there, not in the appendicies. If so, then read Perdido Street Station, by China Miéville.

[pangeramorrow.livejournal.com]

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it. Enjoy :)
