I’d say we’ve fairly similar taste and you’d probably agree with me that Stoner is a solid 6 or 7 out of 10 or so. @PhattPike we’ve very different taste, I didn’t like Breakfast of Champions that much either. It was ok.
Exactly… Tis like fellas arguing over the best band of all time, or the best Covid management strategy.

I thought the Hobbit was better.
I thought it was a pile of shit tbh
Bonfire of the Vanities is probably the best fiction Iv read, or Papillon
I re read a book there recently which I hadn’t picked up in 10 years. A memoir of a normal Joe who ended up in prison for manslaughter. Absolutely terrifying book brilliant written. It’s called “youv got nothing coming”

Shantaram v good. Its long though. If your just getting back into it pick something more manageable
I mentioned one in prev post… Youv got nothing coming
Slow getting up is a book about an NFL player. Memoir not a novel. Good read

Have you read Chickenhawk?
Read it. Good book. Could have been 400 pages shorter
First have heard of it. Trying to steer away from biographies as that’s all I ever used to read. Not into sci-fi or fantasy so trying to find fiction novels somewhere in between to make a go at
It’s brilliant… Google it.

Excellent book.
Matterhorn by Karl Marlantes is superb too. It’s a novel but clearly based on his Vietnam experiences

Tom Bombadill was a personal highlight

They made a movie out of it based in America and didn’t fuck it up completely
American Psycho is a great book
