The Sorrow of War by Bao Ninh. It's the story of a soldier collecting bodies for burial after the end of the Vietam War, intermingled with flashbacks from his past, written in a stream of consciousness style. It does not romanticise war as many... -

Love.
Personally I'm enjoying all the pant pissing from the dangers in the transfer thread. How the vast majority are still allowed to use the Internet is slightly concerning though. -

Same here with The Road and being a dad. First time I read it, I was that cut up, I had to out for a walk just to get my head together. I still try and read it once a year, but really have to prepare myself mentally to read it. I hated the...

The Road was the last fictional book I read, very emotional as a dad myself. No fiction always my go to, mainly ancient history, pre flood theory etc. So in that vein Andrew Collins' 'From the Ashes of Angels' will turn your view on...

LostLegend replied to the thread Recommend just one book to Read,and sell it to us ..As for one book I would recommend: ‘48 by James Herbert.

LostLegend replied to the thread Recommend just one book to Read,and sell it to us ..Read ‘The Name of the Rose’ recently. Was amazed by just how many other stories this has influenced.

Easy one this : Blood Meridian - Cormac McCarthy. Beautiful, brutal and with no redemption at all. McCarthy’s finest work. ( I could probably name a dozen more tbh )

Here's two because rules are there to be broken. 'Endurance' by Alfred Lansing. It's the story of Ernest Shackleton's voyage to the Atlantic. Kenneth Branagh did a miniseries about it that is also excellent. Anyway, it's a true story of utter...

I'm nearing retirement so have plans to educate myself. I'm planning English Lit as my first project.

….i got an ‘O-Level’ English Lit in the early 70s. The book was ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’; the play was ‘Macbeth’ and we had an Anthology of Poems from War Poets. Never been an avid reader although To Kill a Mockingbird remains my favourite ever...

I'm in the company of literary royalty so it seems !. I wasn't bright enough to do English lit at any level worth mentioning, the only book I remember was " Cider with Rosie " and really don't recall that either.
