I'm currently reading a series by Janet Evanovich. The series is called Stephanie Plum and it's really witty and a great read. I think there's about 8 books in it.

Jack Kerouac? the one that was on drugs? well if it is, i've half read one of his books... it was pretty good from what i can remember of it... it was called The Dharma Bums and The Subterraneans . i gave up after my mum got me a playstation

i heard that Doctor Sax by him was pretty good as well...

FYI Jack Kerouac was writing during the 1950's and was part of the underground beatnix sub culture, also writing about the sex and drugs that the jazz.beat undergroung culture were infamous for ....he wrote about his little road trips and encounters with very interesting people....he challenged those with power in the US blah blah blah

i would recommend 'On the Road' and 'Dharma Bums'.

i wish i had the motivation to write a book! LOL

I nearly finished On The Road (umm, I actually bought it on a SALE) but I guess it's just not my type of book. I struggled through each and every page.

And for the Asian books thingy, have you read Shanghai Baby? It's okay. Quite explicit.

Yeha first read i was really bored witht the books, but it after reading it again i began to understand the storylin alot more.

Asian books - does Memoirs of a Geisha count. . . never read it but seems to recieve favourable reviews.

 

[tooheyz]

a good asian book is THE CHINA COIN... i remember loving it when i was in junior years

 

[Sarah]

well the only asian books i've read are

1. Memoirs of a geisha
and
2. Falling Leaves

i prefer crime and mystery books but it seems like most ppl here aren't really into it. anyway, i like Jeffry Deaver, James Patterson, Kathy Reichs and Patricia Cornwell.

Oh and also i enjoy reading Harry Potter. I can't wait till the next book is out!!!!

 

[Butterfly_Wings]

I read the China coin in year 8 too, and loved it, but everyone else said they hated it. Probably only cos it's not cool too like n english book.
