Thanks to Denise for hosting last week!
My vote for the next book is the new Gladwell. Outliers: The Story of Success. Angie expressed interest in it as well. After spending some time with characters hell-bent on destroying their lives, why not find out what makes real people become successful? Gladwell's books also tend to be light and easy to read, yet respectable.
We had talked about top 5 favorite books. Here are mine... for now.
1. Timequake - Kurt Vonnegut
2. Manhattan Transfer - John Dos Passos
3. Siddhartha - Hermann Hesse
4. The Sun Also Rises - Ernest Hemingway
5. Modoc: The True Story of the Greatest Elephant That Ever Lived - Ralph Helfer
I also have to give a shout out to my two favorite Shakespearean plays. Titus Andronicus and The Merchant of Venice. As the bloodiest Shakespearean play, I have no idea as to why Titus has yet to become mainstream. Too many characters maybe?
