book?
Well i know this is suppose to be blogs related to English, bus honestly i don't have a lot of time to sit down and read a book. I really want to start reading books, and everybody tells me that right before bed is a great time to start reading. In the next few weeks i would like to head to a bookstore and purchase a book. the only problem is, that i don't know what type to purchase? When i was in high school, the only types of books i would ever consider were by Stephen King or Anne Rice. I really got into the vampire/horror type books, probably cause that's what i like to watch in movies. But know a days, I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking for in a book. I know i really like music so i was debating on a book written by or towards a musician or band. I'm not sure if this is what blogs are for, but does anybody have any suggestions? Maybe there is a series that's out that i could start?

I would suggest that if you like the whole vampires and zombies thing...go for books by Harry Turtledove. He is excellent and recreating historical events and doing "what if"scenarios like what if Hitler would have won and so on. Musician wise not too sure although I do hear good things about Keith Richards new biography, Life. Hope these choices help you as a starting point for what you may like to read.
ReplyDeleteI'm a loss for books about music at the moment. But...I do have a recommendation about the circus. I read Water for Elephants last summer. It's a great read with an interesting narrative framework. A man in a nursing home reflects on his experiences in the circus. Also, the movie is coming out soon (perhaps it's already in theaters) with Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson.
