Nietzsche is awesome beyond comprehension (occasionally literally).
Mr EaZy sounds like a moron.

Nietzsche is such a great writer and I'm sure that I can only understand a small proportion of his ideas - if I could u nderstand all of his ideas he would seem even greater. I would've put your quote to replace Mr EaZy (aka 'moron') but with the new forum there's a maximum of 500 characters...

I actually enjoyed the Gay Science, thus spake, human all too human, and the antichrist

For love of Evil - Piers Anthony. (5th i think in the Immortals series.)

In the presence of horses - barbara dimmick

The series by jean m auel, i can't remember the name.. but one of the books is "The plains of passage"..

To kill a mockingbird- Haper Lee

 

[paper cup]

Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. 'nuff said.

YES!! The Castle by Kafka is also pretty good.

And guy above me...sweetie....it's spelt Harper.

 

[doofus bob]

go 'to kill a mockingbird'
boring at the start but it develops into a compelling novel

 

[Demandred]

The Bible?

 

[Tuggi3]

The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons...

[ameh]

i havent read enough books to determine which is the greatest, however woolf and joyce interest me currently

 

[zenger69]

My personal favourite and i agree wit the ppl above is "To Kill A Mockingbird" Harper Lee.

 

[happy cup]

I love The Tomorrow Series - John Marsden :uhhuh:

 

[magician]

Personally my favourite novel is Vikram Seth's An Equal Music. However, I think that probably in terms of 'brilliant' writing, Barbara Kingsolver's The Poisionwood Bible is the cream of the crop. The characterisation is amazing.

Oh, it terms of humourous writing, I can't go past Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Love it!!

 

[goan_crazy]

The Bible?

yeah i agree

 

[White Rabbit]

Harry Potter!

Well, it isn't really but I love it.

All Quite on the Western Front and Animal Farm are my 'Best Evers', and The Power of One.

 

[goan_crazy]

yea harry potter and LOTR are good 2
