Nice to see another lovecraft, and burgess fan. What is your favorite Burgess book? Most people only know A clockwork orange, but I think Earthly Powers is his best book by far. Lovecraft also is a underrated writer i think, i heard Guilermo del toro was making a film out of his sort story at the mountains of madness but I think making The Hobbit is more important to him right now.

I'm not sure I could make it to ten, so here's my top 5 1) David Sedaris 2) Cormac McCarthy 3) Christopher Moore 4) Stephen King 5) Chuck Palahniukspazzx625

Great choice with Moore, he is a fantastic writer and a very nice guy. I met him twice at book signings and I email him sometimes.

Eric Carle. He wrote The Very Hungry Caterpillar for goodness' sake.SolidSnake35

My whole family was raised on that book, I just saw it at the bookshop I work at today and I bought a copy.

You know, I don't really have any which is pretty sad. I really do need to start reading.

Yeah he is a bit of an odd guy, he gives great writing advice though. I do hope someone makes a book of his into a movie, I think A dirty job should be made into a movie by Terry Gilliam:D

What has Burgess written besides A Clockwork Orange that's notable?spazzx625

Heck all of his books are worth reading, but these are the ones I have read that I like the most.

The Doctor is sick

Earthly powers

Honey For the bears

A tremor of intent

The Wanting seed

Nothing like the sun

The Pianoplayers.

Timothy Zhan

Yeah the droogish phrases are hard to get past, thankfully he doesnt use them in any of these books.

Thanks

I've always been a fan of Hemmingway even if his works can be a bit depressing at times. Also like Alexandre Dumas.

Ballard

Selby Jr

Burroughs Jr

Easton Ellis (up until Glamorama at least)

Vonnegut

I havent read many books to be honest and I hate it cause people of my major are supposed to read a lot of books (or more than I have at least). :evil:

Anyway, I like The Lord of the Rings very much as books, so J. R. R. Tolkien for me.

It annoys me when people call me a "nerd" for reading. Just because they are stupid doesn't mean I'm a nerd.

Stephen King. Theres something about his style of writing i just love.

Micheal Crichton: He just holds a special place in my heart, his books kind of got me into reading.

Daniel Keyes: Granted, I only read one book by him, Flowers For Algernon. But that book effected me emotionally more than any book I've ever read.

If you like Lovecraft then you should give Machen and Dunsany a good once over. Blackwood also have very Lovecraftian sound to him, though I'd say it was the reverse with Lovecraft being influenced by the three I just named.

Ted Dekker

C.S. Lewis

George R.R. Martin

And a few others that have fallen victim to the tip-of-the-tongue effect.

Steven Erikkson Conn Iggulden David Gemmel Robert Jordan Steven Pressfield.BOO3Y

Which reminds me it's time to see if the third book in the Genghis Khan trilogy is finally out.

I will good sir as I happen to be sitting at my bookstore right this very moment! Hmmmm...I one book by blackwood and one by Dunsany but unfortunately nothing by Machen is active for my store.
