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"

no, i like harry potter, but that's not really something that needs to be recommended, everyone's heard of it, and with the other books it wouldn't hurt if you said something about them, just go to amazon and copy paste....

adidasss...you must read 'The Wasp Factory' in one go if possible.

The Diceman - Luke Rheinhart.


not my words (but very apt)...

And now this... thing, probably one of the more whacked-out books I've had the pleasure of tearing through in recent years. It's the most philosophical novel I've seen since A Clockwork Orange.

Like many other books I enjoy, The Dice Man works by taking one simple, incredibly basic concept and inflating it to the size of the world (or until it explodes and creates a horrid mess). The book is allegedly the first-person confession of a New York psychaitrist, who one day wakes up with his wife and children and realizes he's bored to death -- bored of Zen, bored of fashionable chitchat, bored of intellectualizing everything.

The good doctor stumbles across a way out of his psychic box. By entrusting all his actions to a set of dice, he can liberate himself from the need to actually have to be anyone or anything at a given time. Roll a single die:

1. Read the paper.
2. Go outside and engage someone on the street in conversation.
3. Drink all the vodka in the house.
4. See a movie that has been recommended by only one critic.
5. Sleep.
6. Rape the woman living downstairs.

Compulsive reading...

Has anyone read The Handmaids Tale, if so what did you think?
