Author Message   Cityxslicker Posted on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - 11:34 am:        Of random things that don't really fit elsewhere. At the local Wallyworld - Ammo is arriving again..... And back to school is ramping up. There is a display at our local one with a series of books for 'back to school'. Fahrenheit 451 Lord of the Flies Brave New World Grapes of Wrath Catcher in the Rye Orson Wells - 1984 I think they missed Walden and Atlas Shrugged, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Clock work Orange, and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance If you haven't read these classics - I HIGHLY recommend you do. If it has been a while since you have read them; unplug for a bit - and read them again.... and then take a serious look around at the Shiate that we have found yourselves in   Fast1075 Posted on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - 12:39 pm:        I personally find 1984 to be double plus good. An absolute MUST read. As is Grapes of Wrath.   Sifo Posted on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - 12:46 pm:        No need to read 1984. Just observe 2013 US history.   Xdigitalx Posted on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - 12:47 pm:        Hollywood Hillbillies is where it's at these days...(scarcism)   Reindog Posted on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - 12:53 pm:        We are living Atlas Shrugged at this very second. Can't wait for the fair "Anti Dog Eat Dog" Bill.   Thumper74 Posted on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - 01:29 pm:        I have read... Lord of the Flies Grapes of Wrath Catcher in the Rye Orson Wells - 1984 The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance I would like to throw in Animal Farm for those thinking that Socialism is a good thing.   Fahren Posted on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - 01:36 pm:        I would add Ishmael to any basic book list. It's not on many people's radar screens, though: LINK HERE   Hootowl Posted on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - 01:54 pm:        Rereading winter of our discontent. Steinbeck is a master.   Buellinmke Posted on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - 04:20 pm:        The irony is thick in this thread. You guys realize that these authors are comprised of leftists, socialists, and communists, right?? Also - quote: Orson Wells - 1984 What does Orson Well(e)s have to do with 1984?? John Hurt was in the movie, not Orson Welles.   Oldog Posted on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - 04:48 pm:        Did you mean George Orwell ?   Azxb9r Posted on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - 05:16 pm:        The complete hitchhikers guide to the galaxy is quite possibly my favorite book ever. I would also add Bradburys Martian Chronicles, Asimovs I Robot, and anything by the master of satire...William Shakespeare   Cityxslicker Posted on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - 06:43 pm:        Damnit - you are right, I was thinking that Citizen Cane belonged there; and spoonered the two. damnit - no biscuit. And yes, Animal Farm should have definitely been there. And for light reading The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil   Luftkoph Posted on Wednesday, July 31, 2013 - 10:41 pm:        I'm reading Bruce Catton's 3 books of civil war history,our government really hasn't changed much in 152 years
