I've read most of the books you guys are talking about (at least on the first page. I was bothered by typos too much to read more). I just recently finished East of Eden by John Steinbeck. One of the best books I've ever read. Before that, it was two crime novels. I find most of those to be exchangeable. Card board characters that transfer from author to author. They lack the depth that Law and Order can supply me. I agree with the overall "suckage" of the Eragon movie. The books were no literary wonder, but I don't regret reading them. He has some talent in writing, though he has no comprehension of characterization. He's actually a big joke on the writers forum I frequent. Before the crime novels there was A Thousand White Women. I forgot the author, but it, also, was amazing. It was about if the exchange proposed by an Indianleader to a president (Taft I believe) actually occurred. (One thousand white women in exchange for a thousand horses). Very good. I'm now reading "The Law of Similars". I don't pay much attention to authors' names. It's a flaw of mine.It's just something to read. It's alright, I guess. I've read Marely and Me (someone mentioned it, I believe someone mentioned it), it it was good. I could just recommend some of my favorite titles, and if anyone's interested they can look the summary up from their library on their own time. The Good Earth, Wicked, The Kite Runner, Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime (this was mentioned), The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Water for Elephants, Anything by Jodi Piccult (I hope I spelled her name right.) My Sister's keeper was a favorite of hers. The Girls. I'll probably think of a thousand I could have mentioned. The Pig Man. That was then, this is now (I think that's what it was called.) I'll add more, it can be guaranteed.
This just reminds me that I should reread the Harry Potter series for easily the tenth time. Maybe I'll start on Wed. I don't want to finish early. Like the night before it comes out would be good, so it can be in one fluid motion. I'm a pretty big fan of Harry Potter, as I gather you are from the evidence of you preordering. I've read her books uncountable amounts of times. Like in the double digits. I often use it for reference, as our writing voices are similar. (At least I like to think so, though this is a pretty poor demonstration of it.)
I suppose now would be the time to go through the post again and jot down the titles. I'll be able to suffer my way through. Does anyone else realize that there is a spell check?!
Edited for forgotten titles.
