tenupa Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 Fingerprints of the Gods---Graham Hancock, it's like a non-fiction Indiana Jones type of book. This guy travels the world exploring things like the pyramids, macchu piccu, etc...really good book. tough read in some spots though.------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReginaP Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 Actually, I just read an amazing journalistic play by Anna Deavere Smith called "Twilight L.A." about the Rodney King riots. She also has a play/book about the Crown Heights Riots called "Fires in the Mirror"...rent the videos if you can, they are astonishing. She is a one-woman show, playing all the characters herself, whether it's a black woman, Korean man, Jewish woman, white police officer...you name it, she does it.I also liked Bright Lights Big City by Jay McInterney and if you haven't read Wally Lamb's She's Come Undone...def pick that up That's all for now Thanks for this post! ------------------=)reginadp121@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midiman Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 Right now I am actually reading "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life". I know it's rather cliche for the board but it has actually been quite interesting. I am definitely learning a lot of cool stuff about the origins of different types of music and looking back on the progression has been cool.------------------------------------------I'm a slut...I make love to music every night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudeboyyouth Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde; really good play that was recommended by a friend. And the Extended version of Algernon Swinburne's "Hymn to Prosperine." Beautiful poetry. Also, "In Memorium" by Alfred Tennyson, and Edward II by Marlowe. I recently found out that there was a film of Edward II in circulation, and I rented it at the video store; It's a beautiful version; the setting is 20th century England, as is the decor, but the dialogue and theme remains loyal to the original play.

wizard Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 im in the middle of Don Quixote, i was a kid when i read it last and it seems i don't remember much of it at all. it's a true masterpiece while at the same time it's absurd. enjoy------------------don't act too cool because you might get shot...

beaker2 Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 "Into the Void" . It’s a true mountaineering story and the most amazing tale of survival you will ever read. Find it and read it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudeboyyouth Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 Crime and Punishment is definetly a good book. I like Doestoyevsky's writing alot; "The Idiot," and "Memoirs from the House of the dead" are really good. Memoirs describes what Dostoyevsky's imprisonment in Siberia was supposedly like. Very good book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
