The Magus by John Fowles.

Interesting :tup: Will check if my book dealer has it. Which reminds me, they finally got hold of Gravity's Rainbow that catch 22 was recommending.

Have around 7-8 of the books you listed and they all were very cheap in english bookshop around here (bought it myself or were gifts from the same place), like 7-11 euros each more or less. Some of those books are common classics that Dule should be able to borrow in library too, and just...

Whatever you do, dont watch the movie adaption :D

I'm gonna pick off this south african book, been a while I been intrigued by I book thats recommended to me this much:

Read on, It's bit of a trip mentally :D

It's absolutely brilliant if you let it soak in, incredible wealth of insanely amusing characters and witty wtf situations that make you scratch your head and laugh. "There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that...

It's incredibly absurd and incredibly awesome.

If you like Kurt Vonnegut style absurd satire who even has in common in being also set ww2, then I highly recommend Catch-22 by Joseph Heller.

The Magus by John Fowles.

Medieval things are overdone IMO :P Oh your bf thinks Mongol one is ok, gotcha, IMO its his best series. But Conn Iggulden is one of the better ones for historical fiction, so if you like the period, you should try him out :)

Its too soon to say, but yes in general he takes historical liberties with some key details for better story, it stood out the most in Rome series (ofcourse since I know alot more about that period then I do Mongols), the age differences and some what if scenarios he explored that havent been...

Just started it, too soon to say,quite interesting in a surreal medieval mystery way so far, here's the plot synopsis: I bought it last year as birthday gift for my brother. I just quickly finished a sci fi teen book series called Divergent/Insurgent, and wanted some handy pocket book I can...

You dont like Dumas?

That was like the first real book I read (outside the school setting) when I was like 11, awesome adventure, thats defenitely the main reason I got into books (that and agatha christie stories, though they didnt feel like real books perse). Reading this right now:

Agatha Christie was a required reading in middle school, read the book when it was called ten little niggers, awkward title when you were the only African in the class :D ( I didnt care, but some of the girls were all "offended" on my behalf) But her books is pretty much why I started reading.

Not even close, only movie I preferred to its book was God father. Rest don't even come close regardless of being top notch adaptions.

Yeah I realised that, I read that only one of the follow up books are worth reading, rest are apparently a waste of time.
