I was captivated by Catcher in the Rye - JD Sallinger (must read it again)

Spike*Spiegel

catcher is one of my all time favorites! dean koontz is also a pretty good author. read The Face.

One book I read that really made me think was Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Dafoe (Defoe? I forget now)

I went in thinking it was a typical story, you know? Stranded on an island, blah blah blah.

but I'll tell you, it was sooo much deeper. It was about a person who comes to term with his fate, his God, his spiritual self. It made me think for at least a year afterward. I highly recommend it.

Is the face by koontz? I can't remember the guys name in catcher but what a character so brilliantly written.
Spikespiegel have you read 1984, by Orwell. Possibly the most powerful book I have ever read. I was affected by it for weeks after finishing it.

jr.

The main character's name is Holden Caulfield, and yes, it is a rich character. The whole book has a rhythm to it, a cadence, if you will.

Darn, that makes me want to read it again.

iain banks - feersum endjinn

"All is not well in the mammoth, multitiered underground city-state of Serehfa, where the king and his clan are waging an inexplicable battle with the engineer clan. Meanwhile, the entire planet anxiously awaits the arrival of a dust cloud headed for the sun--a development called the encroachment that threatens to plunge Earth into a life-extinguishing ice age. Having abandoned long ago the means and expertise to flee into space, humanity's only hope for technological deliverance is the crypt, a ubiquitous computer mainframe that stores all recorded knowledge, including the downloaded minds of the dead, but which has been almost totally corrupted by viral chaos. Defying the king's bewildering lack of concern for the encroachment, a rebel scientist, a dead officer living on in the virtuality of the crypt, and a semiliterate youth try to penetrate the crypt's chaotic levels and retrieve the needed knowledge before it's too late. Banks' skill at high-tech speculation continues to grow. Every page of this, his most ingenious work yet, seems to offer more dazzling, intriguing ideas. Carl Hays"

noyce one right-track ( by the way, today i got the wasp factory and espedair street...sweet.....i love getting packages from amazon....)
