Catch 22 and Breakfast of Champions.

Those are my two favorite books on this list. I liked Catch 22 better though. Be prepared for a lot of characters and a plot that kind of jumps around though.

Don't feel bad OP. >>1204007 is just cranky today.

I loved To Kill a Mockingbird

Hey I noticed you have Slaughterhouse five and Catch 22 on your to read list. Both are great books and Catch 22 is definitely one of my favorites. I hope you liked A Clockwork Orange too because that's in my top ten for sure. :)

LAST THREE
-Brothers Karamazov-Awesome
-1984-Awesome
-Ten Days that Shook the World-Dense at points, but other parts really made up for it. Worth the read.
CURRENTLY
-A Confederacy of Dunces-I don't get why /lit/ likes this book so much. There are some funny parts, but Ignatius is such a fucking tool. I hope he dies in a fire by the end of this book (I'm about halfway through).
NEXT THREE
-Siddhartha
-Pale Fire
-Voices from Chernobyl

I've read Breakfast of Champions and Slaughterhouse Five. I liked Breakfast of Champions better, but Slaughterhouse Five was still pretty good.

I almost bought that today.

Almost.

I don't keep track. I've probably read around 20, which is a good pace for someone who actually has a life.

The end of Catch 22

Parts of Crime and Punishment and the Brothers Karamazov

Read Breakfast of Champions. I know a lot of high schools these days are really worried about exposing our youth to media with mentions of sex. Breakfast of Champions is a fun novel that is perfect for the puritanical folk I'm sure you'll run into.

Also OP did you realize that this really happened? You keep referring to the people as characters and that there was a story. This is a true crime book.

I liked it OP. Partially because of the attention to detail that you mentioned, and also because its really exciting. You know that Dick and Perry are going to get caught in the end, but at some points I really didn't believe the police could possibly catch up with them.

I also like how Capote got inside Dick and Perry's heads. I felt terrible for Perry despite the fact that he committed these horrible murders. I didn't feel as bad for Dick but I did feel bad for him at the end when he was desperately appealing his death sentence. It must have been hell leading up to when he got hanged.

Catch 22
Digitalism

I gave up on Crime and Punishment for a few months because I thought it was boring, but I picked it up at the end of August and I was glad I did because it really got better.

Kicking it old school with my Ticonderoga. It sharpens up really nice and the eraser is god tier. I always have at least one package of these babies lying around the house.

They're too expensive to justify the purchase. It costs like $12 for a moleskine and like $2 for one of these.

Way to go OP. We probably wouldn't have recommended War and Peace if you hadn't have mentioned it. Now you'll just get trolled. Man up and read it.

The Brothers Karamazov

Hey OP. I'm in the middle of Breakfast of Champions too. I like his brand of dark humor. You can laugh, but deep down, you know the point he's getting at is so depressing you could just cry. Very sardonic.

1. Horton Hatches the Egg (book of the year, all years)
2. These books about this detective girl named Meg that my grandma used to read to me.
3. Roald Dahl
4. Harry Potter
5. Narnia
6. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (just the first one, I read the rest later)
7. Cornelia Funke (Thief Lord, Inkheart especially)
8. Bridge to Terabithia ;_;

There wasn't a portrait in this book, and he didn't even make any art!

I've read Slaughter House Five. It was pretty good. Right now I'm about a third of the way through Breakfast of Champions and I like it a lot more than SH5. Why did he give BoC a C? :/

i <3 this book
