allnight23 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Alchemyst by Paulo CoelhoThis book will give you meaning of life. But it is not a self help book, it is a great story with a lot of truth about life and each and everyone of us. If you got to read one book in your life may it be this one!

abuglio Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Definitely The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky. Although Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was pretty good too.------------------I'm going to a pretty place where the flowers grow...I'll be back in an hour or so. Ecstasy is god!

weyes Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 it's a play, i'm not really a fan of novels; i'd say that sartre's "no exit" is my favorite. i haven't read it in about six years and i'll admit that i don't really remember it all that well, but i know i haven't read any better fiction since. thanks for this post; i think i'll pick it up again.

Try some of his earlier works like "Despair", "Invitation to a Beheading", or "The Luzhin Defense." Or even the later "Pale Fire", which will have you in tears every page it's so funny. I would rate any of these 4 the best book ever, a tie. I think Nabokov was the closest thing to immortality the last century witnessed. I also really like Dostoevsky, Balzac, Zola, and Bulgakov.JohnB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quanto_magnus Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Originally posted by flippin_e:Great topic I think. My favorite book as of right now, is a book that SharonRegina gave me, Ender's Game. It's just great. I read the whole book in one day. I just could NOT put it down. I needed to find out what was going to happen next. Excellent read.PS. Who cares if this subject isn't about clubbing. This site is ClubPLANET.com not JustClubbing.com. A planet has many environments and terrains. How bland would our world be if it was just a flat plain covered with wheat fields? Who says that this is just about clubs, dancing and music? Hey!!!!! That's the book I was going to say. Orson Scott Card is a great author. The whole Ender's series is really fuckin' good. I am just about to read Ender's shadow which is based on one of the secondary characters in Ender's Game. I just gotta finish my Ann Rice book first.I can't say that I have any one sigle favortie...Damn, people listed so many books that I like. It is really difficult to narrow it down to one book. I could put down a HUGE list of books... ------------------ Hugha.k.a. ibhugh, Bryan Adamsemail: ibhugh@yahoo.comaolim: hugesk8r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
