[Where is the War and Peace thread?]

We have a Tolstoy thread which is virtually just a discussion of War and Peace.

 

It mostly comments from us all saying that we want to read it. But there are a few good comments in there that you might find useful. Good luck!

 

Thanks for the quick reply. I imagined before I got onto the forum that it would be mostly people, like myself, wondering about it and not actually read it yet hehe.

[20 Books Everyone Should Read!]

In no order:

 

1. The Stand by Stephen King. It's just so good!

 

2. Slaughterhouse 5. It's just so funny!

 

3. 1984. Probably the book I most think everyone should read.

 

4. Darkness at Noon. If you know your history a bit, it's similar to 1984.

 

5. Lord of the Rings.

[Where is the War and Peace thread?]

There MUST be one around here but I can't find it, I've read through the pages and used the search. Can someone link it here, or if this thread is going to be deleted PM it me, thanks!

 

I just wanted to read up on the book and hear peoples opinions on it before I commence this long quest. It's one of them read before you go to heaven books.

[The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger]

I think it’s a great book, maybe because I am a young reader and can relate to it. I think it’s good because with every character I can think of someone similar in real life, especially Holden. This book reminds me of a few spoilt mates of mine who have been dragged through education after many failures with the cost of thousands paid by their parents. But a lot of the characters remind me of people who I know who are around the same age. Maybe people don’t like it because it reminds them of their self.

[The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood]

I don't like this book. I hate how women lived in the 18th century and before, as maids in houses, it's exactly like that. I also hate how women gossip to each other.
