Ok,that is going to be a bit of an internal B&R thing but it's been naging at me for a while so here i go.
I haven't been around very long but i have known some of you for a while and i always been very curious to hear whatyou would think of some special book i feel would be very much in you line.

ABC
The living proof that one can be a kind hearted Christian and an open minded reader.Hat off to you ABC
Dreams of My Russian Summers by Andrei Makine

Beer Good
One of the best book reviewer with a background rock n' roll line.

Libra

I think you covered most of Indian literature i know of so maybe Dark star safari by Paul Theroux would interest you?

Sybarite
The alternative life of Christ in the lamb by Christopher Moore is very funny and interesting at the same time

Heteronym
I think Amin Maalouf would be a good surprise to you too.Leo the african or the rock of Tanios.


That it for the few ideas i had.
 
Fun thread! I'm going to have to come up with a few. In the meantime, no, I haven't read anything by Selby but I've always figured I ought to read Last Exit To Brooklyn or Requiem For A Dream... but you're saying you'd recommend The Demon before those?
 
Fun thread indeed! Feels like I just found a lovely greeting card in my mailbox amongst the bills and catalogs. Thank you!

The Demon is a very special book.Classic in it's writing.But i think you would enjoy last exit as well.
 
I just might try that Black Company series. The cover looks mighty similar to Gene Wolfe's The Book of The New Sun.

For you Thomas: Old Man's War by John Scalzi.

sparkchaser: My Uncle Oswald by Roald Dahl.

Sybarite: Refuting Evolution by Jonathan Sarfati (I actually :lol: when I read this after it was given to a fellow teacher)

Stewart: We by Yevgeny Zamyatin

Libra, Abecedarian, Isabell : I Can Haz Cheezburger? by Professor Happycat and icanhascheezburger.com

Fantasy Moon: Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson.

Disenthral: You Are Being Lied To by Russ Kick.
 
Thanks Joderu,actually i already got it from your discussion with Direstrait.

Good one for Fantasy moon.

Isabell and Dele,i really am sorry but i don't know enough of you book taste yet to give a very well aimed advice.I'm sure some other will.I kept it in mind for latter.
 
I've put The Hunter in my amazon wishlist. I'm a huge James Ellroy fan, so it isn't much of a stretch that I would love this. Thanks, Thomas!

Now I'm going to recommend one for you, Stephen Hunter's Dirty White Boys. Look it up and see what you think.

Will be checking them out joderu.:)
 
I sent for:
Dreams of my Russian Summers, Leo the African..will have to investigate the Cheezburger one! I thought I requested The Rock of Tainos, but it doesn't show up in my interlibrary loan request tracking...which doesn't mean a blooming thing sometimes!
 
I wouldn't say that fantasy books are my obsession. But I might give her a try sometime in the future. Must get through my own books first.

I thought it sounded good, which is why I'm wondering why it doesn't show up in my records with the library site. I distinctly remember looking it up and I thought I requested it. OTH, I think some urchins were talking to me at the same time, so who knows. I picked up Dreams of My Russian Summers yesterday, so if I DID request Rock of Tainos, perhaps it will come soon and I'll know...This 'thing' with the inter library loan site is not new, but it is bothersome.

Update: Got a call from the library this morning.. the ILL lady asked me if I wanted her to just call me on the days I DON'T have something in:lol:

Anyway, I asked her about Rock of Tainos and sure enough, I DID submit a request. Glad to know I'm not totally off my rocker:innocent:
 
Thomas,I know you are getting alot of suggestions and I really didn't want to add to your to buy list BUT,since you liked Suite Francaise -Irène Némirovsky you might really enjoy Fire in the Blood by her too.:D
 
Thanks Libra,i think i read it.It was on the same volume as suite Francaise.
You should try The bal by Nemirovsky,a nice little novela.
Thanks anyway Libra.
