THE BOOK DRAFT (2 Viewers)

[Woz]

7.05 - perry147 - The Canterbury Tales - Geoffrey Chaucer - Short Story Collection

NOOOOOOOOOOO!This was my next pick!

####

I could not believe it was on the board.

Oustanding choice. Had that number 2 behind Poe.

 

[Woz]

7.08 The Chronicles of Narnia - C.S. Lewis. - Series.I know these may be considered children's books, but the figuritive way in which Lewis explores religion in this series is very in depth and highly accurate. I also wanted to be sure to get something by Lewis on my collection because I admire so many of his other works, both fiction and non-fiction.

 

[Uncle Humuna]

100 Years of Solitude.

Excellent pick.Was strongly considering it myself . . .

Great series, it was on my short list. For young and old, alike.

 

[Quez]

I cant decide between Goosebumbs and Choose your own adventure.

You can see the parallels to Christianity in them, but basically they're just books with moral lessons. But the stories are fantastic.

 

[kupcho1]

Don't have a ton of time, so I'm just going to post my picks here...

I'll take LA Confidential and 100 Years of Solitude. If either of those are taken then give me The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles.

Assani Fisher 1 - 1984 - George Orwell - Classic

2 - Catcher in the Rye - J. D. Salinger - Drama

3 - Plato's Dialogues - Plato - Series

4 - When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi - David Maraniss - Nonfiction

5 - The Works of George Berkeley - George Berkeley - Short Story Collection

6 - Theory of Poker - David Sklansky - Flex

7 - - -

8 - - -

9 - - -

10 - - -

At this point you still need a mystery, thriller, science fiction/fantasy and a horror book.

I can put LA Confidential in Mystery, but there is nowhere that 100 years of Solitude fits (thriller/scifi/horror).

So unless I hear otherwise, I'll drop down to Last of the Whangdoodles and make that your scifi selection.

OK?

and make 100 Years his "Drama"

8.07 / The Day of the Jackal / Frederick Forsyth / 1971 / MysteryWinner of the 1972 Edgar award for best mystery novel, The Day of the Jackal is about a professional assassin who is hired by a French right wing organization to kill Charles de Gaulle.

In the first part, Anatomy of a Plot, the reasons and motive for the assassination are described. The Jackal has his first and only meeting with three OAS leaders and discusses the price of the kill. The rest of the part describes how the Jackal gathers information on Charles de Gaulle while in England, and describes the weapon he is planning to use. Little information is given what he is going to do, however. The Jackal also sets up his false identities and disguises by forging and stealing documents.The second part, Anatomy of a Manhunt, shows how the French intelligence find out about the plan and give Claude Lebel, a French detective, the assignment to prevent the assassination while the ministers are discussing whether to inform de Gaulle or not about the plan.In the last part, Anatomy of a Kill, Lebel realises that there is one day drawing near on which de Gaulle will make a scheduled public appearance: the day commemorating the liberation of Paris during World War II, Liberation Day, on the 25th of August. The Jackal, however, manages to make his way into Paris.

What's amazing about this book is that while reading it you forget that de Gaulle did not die by assassination. You get so engrossed in the plot you forget reality.

fantastic Book. I had forgotten about it.The most amazing part of this book is trying to figure out why the assassin is doing the things he is.

8.06 - perry147 - Silence of the Lambs - Thomas Harris - Thriller

Wow, I was going to pick Red Dragon, Thomas Harris with the statement: People familiar with the genre have read both Dragon and Lambs, and know that Dragon is the superior work.

Now it will just look like I'm putting Lambs down.

Guess I'll have to go with my second pick.

You liked "Dragon" better than "Lambs"? It has been a few years since I read them; which one in which he carved the initials into the tree before entering one of his victims houses?

 

[mon]

Eh, I'll give it some thought and go with another category for now.

8.07 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey, drama

A drama has to have the element of tension, and there's plenty of it between Nurse Ratched and the residents.

Not sure - it's been a while since I've read them, which was before the movies came out. I remember Dragon got more into the killer's mind, the forensics was more interesting, and there were more twists/surprises.

A quick note for the record:

Whenever my pick comes up from now on, just wait 10 minutes or so and then skip me. We're the point now where we could all probably just shout out our last few picks without much or maybe any overlap, so I don't really care if I get skipped and have to jump back in later.

It's been over ten and he's not online.

8.03 Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - Phillip K. **** - Sci/FiI'm not a big sci-fi fan so I wanted to grab my favorite book from the genre. The intense study of what makes us human is done through wonderful subtlety in this book. It's also very entertaining. Some of you may be more familiar with the movie "Blade Runner" that was adapted (and done well IMO) from this book.

8.02--The Wealth of Nations--Adam Smith-FlexThe companion piece to Das Kapital, Smith's 1776 book was one of the first to treat economics as a science and it laid the intellectual foundations for the theorys of free markets. Introduced the concept of the "invisible hand" to the lexicon and is part of the underpinnings of all modern Western economies.
