bulilyo69 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 LOLITA by Nabokovsimultaneous with DRESS YOUR FAMILY IN CORDUROY AND DENIMS by David Sedaris It's good to pair Sedaris's collection of essays with another novel, so you just nibble the essays one at a time, not in one straight reading of the book (not back-to-back). This way, you can fully appreciate the wit of the piece. Lolita is fantastic on the pun and subtle wordplay. Pedophilia is just used as a context/theme to shock and play around. Quote Link to comment

testosterone_blue Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 In His Image: Book One of the Christ Clone Trilogyby James BeauSeigneur James BeauSeigneur takes readers on a brilliantly researched and vividly imagined journey to discover whether a forbidden experiment will lead to the Triumph of Man…or the Wrath of God. this could probably be one of the most controversial books of conmtemporary times, following the trailblazing success of Dan Brown. here is the excerpt: =================================================== Amid plagues and nuclear war, the United Nations gains control of the new world order. Israel is rebuilding the Temple of Solomon. And journalist Decker Hawthorne is raising an orphaned ward, Christopher Goodman. But Christopher is no ordinary boy: he has miraculous powers, visions, and memories of biblical times-because he was cloned from the cells of Jesus Christ from the Shroud of Turin. Who is this youth and would God permit the Messiah to be created in a test tube? Can an impure being arise from the sacred living flesh of Jesus? All that's certain is that the world is staggering toward a final apocalyptic conflict-and humanity's salvation or damnation may depend on the true nature of The Christ Clone... =================================================== Quote Link to comment

bakedzitiguy Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 just finished 100 years of solitude. kinda interesting. about a fictional town named Macondo and how it's intertwined to a clan. problem is, you'll get lost with the story. The characters have the habit of naming their children after their ancestors. so sometimes you have to think hard to realize whether the character youre reading is the descendant or an ancestor.
