It has been sitting on the shelf for forever, time to put it of its misery.
Try Kesey's second book: "Sometimes a Great Notion"Superposed_Cat said:One flew over the cukoo's nest is a good book.

Very interesting main character.
Mépris said:Borek, what do you think of Women? I really enjoyed it.
Borek said:In many ways fascinating, but not what I consider a "pleasant read". Still, definitely worth the time.
I have read a great book recently, Jetlag by Michał Radomił Wiśniewski - sadly, available in Polish only.
Mépris said:I think it gets a bit derivative after a while. He makes me say "Look, you've made your point. Are you going somewhere else with this?" I read half the novel, and I may as well have read the full one.
Borek said:Exactly my thoughts of yesterday, and I am around 66%. "Are you going to add something new, or is it all that you had to say?"
But I started with Ham on Rye, which was different, so I don't know yet if I am going to read more of Bukowski, or not. I have plenty of other books on my list.

Borek said:That would be around 1976 in my case ;)

I read the second book, Foundation and Empire in high school. I did not know at the time that the book was part of a series. Several years ago, I discovered the series, and that it was more than three books, which became 7 altogether.dkotschessaa said:. . . then perhaps go to the foundation series.

Recently read:
"Gone Girl". Good story, hard to like any of the characters though.
"All The Light We Cannot See". Fantastic! Well written, great story...read it. Really, you have to read it.
Currently reading:
"Les Miserables". I've seen the movie (omg great movie!). Only 17% through (yes I'm reading on Kindle), but I like it so far. Hugo is in no special hurry to tell this tale - it's as if hurrying it would diminish his point. Makes me wish I could still read in French so I could read the original.
