BooksDo any books completely catch your imagination? There are a few books I've read, that will always read over at least once every other year. I get totally loss in them, completely consumed by the story.
These are a few of them
- www.amazon.co.uk/The-Magicians-Lev-Grossman/dp/0099534444/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1360238969&sr=1-1-catcorr

I find your attitude to be somewhat disrespectful.You're right about the emails though, in fact they even have the facility for you to request never any from them ever again.
I'm more concerned about my 'recent history' bit and the recommendations that pop up on the page when I visit.
Particularly since AB linked to a load of dodgy 'erotic incest' fiction.

The point of Catcher in the Rye is a story. That's all, it's not magic realism, which I can appreciate doesn't tell a linear taleit's just a story about a character who is cunt with no redeeming features, and before you start I don't expect to love all characters to like the story, but he doesn't do anything either. THe story is a shit unlikeable cunt thinks he's better than he is, he leaves home, he gets punched by a pimp for being a cunt and he goes home again. That's it.
There is nothing more to the writing.

Pretty much anything by James Herbert, Brian Jacques, and J K Rowling (fuck you, I like them)Whilst I do like Terry Pratchett, the difference between his good books and his bad books is staggering (and before Monty et al say anything about his going doolally, he wrote most of these before that).
I used to enjoy Dan Brown's books, until my brother pointed out a few issues with the way he writes, and the fact it's clear he's massively up his own arse. Now I can't stand them.

Two authors I (so far) can read pretty much anything by are George Orwell and John Steinbeck.Orwell can even tell me how he makes a cup of tea and I like it.
