Jurassic park and IT

Magician would be one of my favourites

>>677892947
is the book better than the movie?

>>677892563
The Loop

>>677893111
Def better. For both books. They shoot a fucking velociraptor with a rocket launcher

>Stranger in a Strange Land - Robert Heinlein
>Dark Tower Series - Stephen King (At least the first 4)
>Different Seasons - Stephen King
>A Short History of Nearly Everything - Bill Bryson

The Dark Tower series by Stephen King, even though it sort of falls apart at the end.

I really enjoyed Matthew Reilly's Seven Ancient Wonders trilogy. (It's kinda like a modern day Indiana Jones)

>>677892563
I liked the Martian. I'm afraid to see the movie because I don't want it to ruin my perception of the characters

Grapes of wrath is amazing.
Anything by Jules Verne.
Lord of the rings trilogy and the hobbit
The poison wood bible gets amazing a hundred pages in
I'm a Steinbeck fan.

for poetry

all the classics.

but a ton of other things to.

>>677893724
My feeling exactly; particularly terrified to see Watney portrayed by Matt Damon.

Slaughterhouse 5, Kurt Vonnegut

the last book I read was one of the captain underpants books. Is this bad?

>>677893952
How I pictured NASA and all of those characters on earth is so archaic but orderly in my head. I think seeing it in a movie would ruin that illusion for me

Against the Day
by Thomas Pynchon

>>677893960
I need to read Vonnegut anything besides slaughterhouse 5?

Currently reading Infinite Jest and it's unreal

>>677892563
couldnt get past 160 pages in moby dick, just kept getting bored. I was travelling at the time though so i might try again.
Just finished reading the forever war.

Neeeeerrrrrrd!!!

Yeah. Favorite book is Tale of Two Cities. Boy can he turn a phrase.
Currently reading Our Mutual Friend, also by Dickens.

Currently reading Fever Dream by George RR Martin
Last Read the Complete Slayers by Paul Cain

>>677894519

Objectively speaking, this book is shit.

Also like poetry of the romantic period...
On either side the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye
That clothe the wold and meet the sky

>>677894480
Which version did you read? The British version has a lot of his boring shit cut out so it's more bearable. The characters are really good though if you get into the book. The obsession you see in Ahab is seen in soo many other characters in movies, books and TV shows. Heck in Runescape there's a character named after him

HURRR I READ HITLER'S BOOK IM A OLDFAG!

I read 5 of the original 6 Dune books last year. Started the sixth, but got pretty Duned out.He really went off the rails there towards the end of the series.

I've read a lot of shit. I was trying to find myself in books for the longest time. I read a lot of pretentious shit -- philosophy and controversial literature. I honestly just prefer pulp fantasy now.

Light feet, dark violet eyes, and parted hair
Soft dimpled hands, white neck, and creamy breast

Till the fond, fixed eyes, forget they stare

>>677892563

All time favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird. Read it for the first time way back in highschool for a project. I loved it so much that I kept the copy I bought and have worn out that little paperback from rereads. I always really like Stephen King, H.P. Lovecraft and Ray Bradbury.

love messed up stories, so anything Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters, Haunted, just finished Survivor.
Love Stephen King, recently read Mr. Mercedes and wasn't too pushed by it.
Ten little niggers, or and then there were none was enjoyable, good old Agatha.
Reading glamorama at the moment, only read American Psycho before, Patrick Bateman has made a short appearance. It any good?

pic related some books

I'm finishing up The Count of Monte Cristo, Paradise Lost, and Lolita. They're great books.

Long Day's Journey Into Night

Slapstick, Dead Eye Dick, Mother Night, Sirens of Titan, Galapagos, Breakfast of Champions, Cat's Cradle, God Bless you, Mr. Rosewater, Welcome to the Monkey House (for some short stories). A few others i'm forgetting. I'm a big Vonnegut fan. The more you read the better, because a lot of characters and cities intertwine in odd ways. Even if it's just a poster someone reads in a nonchalant way. It becomes it's own world after a few books.

>>677898555
I heard they had to edit the later editions, cause the details on how to obtain a fake passport were too accurate.

Anyone else well-versed in shakespeare?

I honestly disliked The Shining before the climax, however, The Stand is a great book by King

>>677898840
Not necessarily "well-versed", but I enjoy reading his work

Just bought a copy of 'Hamlet' the other day. Looking forward to reading it again.

JP and LW were awesome.

Recently finished The Revenant, A Roadside Picnic and A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.
Currently working on Moscow to the End of the Line and The Moon is Down.
Planning on doing Gulag Archipelago and A Dog's Heart next.
Been getting Russian up in this bitch lately so I'm thinking some PKD and bear attack research after that.

Would not really recommend either the book or the movie in regards to The Revenant. Even if the book was dry and predictable at least it was well researched and historically accurate. The movie on the other hand was simply shit, the cinematography was fantastic though. I think it's a little sad DiCaprio finally got his award on that back of a turd.

no one reads anne rice? the sleeping beauty series, belinda?

Could be, I heard they finally changed the laws/procedures just a few years ago - the book was written in 1971 I think.

Any of Forsyth's books - especially the earlier ones - have all kinds of interesting non-fiction elements. How to buy and smuggle arms, how mercenaries operate and on and on.

why don't i like any fantasy shit? like lotr, terry pratchet, i just dont care for it, everyone raves about them so i feel like im missin out

Bridge of Birds - Barry Hughart
Incarnations of Immortality - Piers Anthony

>>677900288
you have your own thoughts?

Anyone know the name of this book?

I have almost nothing to go on, but at some point a man gets caught by something (Woman, maybe) and you think they're going to save him, but they never do and just gets tortured to death (probably, if not to insanity)

It leaves you hating Woman for a long time after finishing the book.

That's the only thing I know about it, anyone know the name?
