Raoul Duke Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hello everyone, I'm having trouble deciding which to read next in my stack. I've started a few of them only to look over and see a different one that I decide to give a shot. Maybe you guys can help! Another Roadside Attraction- Tom Robbins Atlas Shrugged Roughing It- Mark Twain Sometimes A Great Notion- Ken Kesey In Patagonia- Bruce Chatwin Tropic of Cancer- Henry Miller The Air-Conditioned Nightmare- Henry Miller Brave New World- Aldous Huxley Big Sur- Kerouac The Savage Detectives- Roberto Bolano Islands In The Stream- Hemingway Thanks to all!

Janet Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I'd suggest either of your Henry Millers, because I'm dying to know what his writing is like - I asked a couple of times on here but it appears nobody has read him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked Henry Miller's Quiet Days In Clichy. It is a real quick read (barely 150 pages) and I read half of his Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymus Bosch (can't even remember why I stopped) but I will let you know what I think when I knock the other two out.

Kylie Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 The only one of those that I've read is Brave New World, which I thought was excellent. I'm very curious about those books by Rand, Kesey, Miller and Kerouac so I wouldn't object to you reading any of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookJumper Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I'd say Patagonia, so you can come back and tell me what it's like, it being on my TBR also though our tastes may differ, I tried Miller's Tropic of Cancer a few years back and couldn't finish it:lurker:!

Ooshie Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Like Kylie, the only one I have read is Brave New World, and I did enjoy it very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixie Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Brave New World is excellent, but disturbing. Another Roadside Attraction is also a great read if you like humor intertwined with philosophy. I am not a fan of Hemingway at all and I haven't read any of the others. My choice would be Another Roadside Attraction, but I am fan of Tom Robbins, so my opinion is a bit biased.
