speaking of Disney, a good little kids book is the Black Cauldron series. actually its really good
The Witch, the Lion, and the Wardrobe is good, but, to me, each successive book in the series deteriorated, I could not finish the series. To much religious mumbo jumbo.omicron said:How about C.S Lewis? If u haven't read Narnia, u should because its I heard that there's going to be a movie release next year by Disney (thats if u are interested).
Any particular genre that you enjoy?Secular Angel said:I apologize for the long absence. For clarification, I wanted literature that are generally recognized as extremely enjoyable/popular and had literary merit. And I'm a boy. :P
Everytime you buy Catcher in the Rye, the government puts a red flag next to your name.Evo said:Any particular genre that you enjoy?
My daughter's favorite book is "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac, she also really liked "Catcher in the Rye", "Where the red fern grows", but she was in 4th grade when she read it, but I hear it's very good.
Aaauuggghh!Evo said:I'm not into too many of the "classics". I was always an avid reader, but as a child I read mostly ancient history, mythology and science fiction. I read anything I could get my hands on until I was 10 when a neighbor gave me "Treasure Island" for my birthday, it was the first book I got so bored with I couldn't finish.
WHAT? Howard's End isn't gay themed?arildno said:E.M Forster's "Maurice" is a must for you, then.
Merchant&Ivory made an excellent movie out of it.
E.M Forster is one of the most accesible "classical" authors.
"Howard's End" and "A Passage to India" are very good novels, too (not "gay"-themed, though).
since when has that mattered?Gokul43201 said:..but that's not what this thread's about, is it ?
On the contrary, I'd like titles that have a little substance at least. >_>Gokul43201 said:If you can't care less about literature and want some serious techno-action, I recommend Tom Clancy...but that's not what this thread's about, is it ?
Whoops, I missed that connection..,tribdog said:The problem here is that you leave me with lines like the one above, and expect me not to say something stupid. You all thought the same thing when you saw Howard's end and gay themed in the same sentence, but I was the only one who dared say it outloud.
Now I'm going to get in trouble for it.
I haven't read "Catcher in the Rye", my daughter liked it though.BobG said:Aaauuggghh!
I loved "Treasure Island"!
On the other hand, I couldn't stand "Catcher in the Rye".
