Texas and Florida, your move

There's a ton of stuff. You're in Orange County

Orange County Library System

 

Why cant they make a good movie about that book? It was one of my favorite reads that just hasnt been done well on screen.

 

Ok - I'm gonna grab it from Abebooks. While I'm shopping, may as well pick up a couple others. Any recs for someone with my interests? (I'm not as abstract of a thinker as docspor)

 

We know

 

I used to love it. But now Amazon, Thrift books, Abe Books, and Better World Books are a lot easier and I have very specific reading tastes.

That said, I used to love it when I was unemployed years ago. It would be sad for me to lose it.

 

Vonnegut, Kurt

 

Thanks - I read Breakfast of Champions, but that was decades ago during undergrad. Isn't that pretty abstract? Perhaps you were being facetious. On that note, I did enjoy Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but Hunter S. might be a diff kind of abstract.

 

Anything by Sinclair Lewis, especially It Can’t Happen Here

 

d

like ironic fiction? Maybe Burgess? Philip K. Dick?

 

All Vonnegut is generally some amalgamation of abstract, funny, ridiculous, and intriguing.

 

I am huge fan of Dewey Lambdin but he died before finishing his series

 

Wanker

 

Thanks, what is ironic fiction?

 

Thanks swampbabe!

 

In honor of this I just took the family to our local bookstore and bought Vonnegut's Welcome to The Monkey House

 

Don't you get it? Everyone gets their education from social media and the internet!! Libraries are so old school

 

It remains an important resource for lower economic classes.....books, internet, etc. And I know a lot of seniors also utilize a variety of services.

 

My wife is big into the library. She reads about 2-3 books a month all from the library.

 

Made up on the spot! It sounds like it fits right?

If you want regular novels:

Silence by Endo (Japanese)

The Bridge Over San Luis Rey by Thorton Wilder

The Slave By Isaac Bashevis Singer

Are three underrated gems that are fairly quick reads.
