Book Discussion/Suggestion Thread.

[aaabha]

Okay we got a little off topic in that thread I made about the electronic book piece o shite. So here is a place where the book-loving bullshitters can gather and discuss books they've read with each other and suggestions on what books fellow bullshitters should check out.

So...let's get to booking!!

It amuses me when someone starts a thread designed for a specific reason and yet doesn't provide a direction for that thread to prosper.

Great book imho. The kind of books I read are mainly fantasy though I have been reading more nonfiction than usual such as Flyboys and Flags of our Fathers. Great books though Flyboys can be a little disturbing to the reader.

I'm currently reading Pirate Hunter - the true story of Captain Kidd.

Yeah - I am a pirate born too late. Sigh.

Anpao: The American Indian Odessey by Jamake Highwater- Hard to describe but I think the title does a good job. It's only at a middle school/highschool level reading material, and granted I read it in 5 th grade, but remains one of my favorites. It caught me off guard because it's something I would've considered boring and out of my taste range, but it started my love for literature and I would recommend it to adults. It follows a young native American man in his quest for forbidden love. Sounds typical but the imagery and the style of writing is memorable. I believe it also has some actual Indian american folklore but to be honest haven'tresearched it. But it does give you the impression that an old tribal chief is telling you old folklore around a campfire.
