Topic: Amazingly Awesome Books
Ready, Set, Go!
1. Fierce Invalids Home From Hot ClimatesTom Robbins - Fierce, Exotic... Unbelievable.
2. Jitterbug Perfume
Tom Robbins - Creative and thoughtful book about living forever.
3. Darkmans
Nicola Barker - Very Long, but its worth it. I couldn't put it down, and its definitely a book that keeps you thinking long after you've finished it.
4. The Golden Compass
Philip Pullman - Better and more in depth than the movie. Its about time someone encouraged free thought.. and its not nearly as bad as all the Christians make it out to be.
5. Ender's Game
Orson Scott Card - Science Fiction like you've never seen before. I read it in one sitting- it was that good. A mix of Aliens, War strategy, Space Ship Pilots, Human Suffering, Sacrifice, Political Theory, Hope, futuristic technology and Perseverance. Awesome.
6. No One Belongs Here more than You (Short Stories)
Miranda July - Ridiculously out of the ordinary... what isn't there to love? Be prepared for anything from old men slyly seducing other old men, to giving swimming lessons on the kitchen floor of your apartment.. and more..
7. Even Cowgirls Get the Blues
Tom Robbins - do I even have to sing his praises anymore? A gang of feminist cowgirls, and one hitch hiking honey with extremely large thumbs.
8. Politics
Adam Thirlwell - A dirty, yet romantic novel about 3 people living in a ménage à trois, their insecurities, their inability to communicate with each other, and of course, their hot and steamy sex life ;)
9. The Other Boleyn Girl
Philipa Gregory - Historical Fiction - Takes a look at Henry VIII's court and his love life through the eyes of Anne Boleyn's Sister. A power hungry family uses its Daughters as pawns to get what they want. Definitely a page turner- not the kind of book that I usually read, but amazing nonetheless.
(Not to mention, I just found out, they're making a movie- it comes out in February- How have I not heard about this?!)
10. Confessions of an Economic Hit man
John Perkins - The confessions of a man whose job was to help monetarily enslave countries to the United States. Disgusting and eye-opening.
11. The Constant Princess
Philipa Gregory - Historical Fiction - Same time period, but through the eyes of Catherine of Aragon, King Henry's first wife. Her resolve, steadfastness, and determination are inspiring and heart wrenching.
Tada.
Those are, of course, in no particular order.
