So I need book recommendations. I usually read classics, metaphysical books, or modern literature, but am open to all suggestions. If I don't have something to read I start to have a bad mood.

Have you read much of Virginia Woolf or James Joyce? My favourite classics.

Duke Of Slander · 09-17-2009, 01:42 AM

I've read Mrs. Dalloway by Woolf, but none of her other books. Any recommendations?

And I've read Joyce but hated it because I couldn't understand it. But its been about 5 years so I may take him up again to see if I understand his writing style and symbolism better.

Picked it up at random at a car boot sale earlier this morning. Pretty good stuff thus far.

Kk, school is still (and maybe forever) cramping my reading style, but recently I have been reading some Manga, on the request of a friend of mine. I like it, but the translation sucks pretty bad, so meh.

On another note, who here has read the Chronicals of Thomas Covenant? There is 7 in the series I think...I've read them all. I've only met i think 2 other ppl who've even heard of them, and they are possibly the most influential books I've read thus far. Yes/? no??

Anyhow here's what I picked up

I'm hoping this will help me get off my arse and get some kind of World of Darkness story going, of course I have to find players as well.
