Similiar to the "movies you just watched" thread..just tell us what you are reading, give us a little summary of the book (without letting major plots out) and the title of the author..this way...we can get an idea of books that sound interesting to all of us.
Right now I am reading "the things they carried" by tim o'brien
I personally love it, and I am glad that i purchased it.
The back cover reads:
'They carried malaria tablets, love letters, z8-pound mine detectors, dope, illustrated bibles, each other. And if they made it home alive, they carried unrelenting images of a nightmarish war that history is only beginning to absorb. Since its first publication, The Things They Carried has become an unparalleled Vietnam testament, a classic work of American literature, and a profound study of men at war that illuminates the capacity, and the limits, of the human heart and soul"
I recommend it. |

Great read. I love Elizabeth Bathory.

Right now Im torwords the very ending chapters of
HAUNTED BY: Chuck Palahniuk
Dont make any assumptions on crazy ghost stories this book is NOTHING but what you expect of it truly one of the most sickest piece of literature you could ever find in your life... im SO not kidding.
The book starts right off about a person who likes pleasing themselfs with the holes of the pool that bring in more water.. when his ass gets stuck to the wrong one while his intentines surely but slowly start being sucked out of him through his ass while he describes a very in detail disgustinly horrorfying description of how it felt to chew through his own intestines.
THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART.
however if you enjoy Chuck palahniuk writting style ( l.E CHOKE, FIGHT CLUB) then you'd surely enjoy this book.
**OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOK**
"HAUNTED is a novel made up of stories: twenty-three of them, to be precise. Twenty-three of the most horrifying, hilarious, mind-blowing, stomach-churning tales you'll ever encounter—sometimes all at once. They are told by people who have answered an ad headlined "Artists' Retreat: Abandon Your Life for Three Months" and who are led to believe that here they will leave behind all the distractions of "real life" that are keeping them from creating the masterpiece that is in them. But "here" turns out to be a cavernous and ornate old theater where they are utterly isolated from the outside world—and where heat and power and, most important, food are in increasingly short supply. And the more desperate the circumstances become, the more desperate the stories they tell—and the more devious their machinations become to make themselves the hero of the inevitable play/movie/nonfiction blockbuster that will certainly be made from their plight"

I almost bought that book the other day, but I bought Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk instead.

I love Amy Tan
