I have been in a lull for a bit when it comes to my reading choices. I need some suggestions for good reads. I read anything from classical lit to graphic novels, from poetry to westerns, from teen paranormal romance to fantasy, and the list goes on. I am really not into romance novels, and i generally like the story to be a bit dark. My favorite modern author is Cormack McCarthy. I will admit to reading Twilight and kinda liking it. I am team Jacob, not team Edward. I suppose that is my confession as well as.my plea for book recommendations.
 
Ouch! Kinda makes me want to beat you like a red headed step child. And I couldn't get past the title of that thread.

What.
The Fuck.
You put CM in a sentence before referencing motherfucking Twilight.
Good god.
 
I know right. Cormack McCarthy is the best, but I was weak once too. That is a plea for help if there other was one.
 
One more thing

I may have read Twilight but I do have a bachelors in English literature so I am fairly well read. Apparently my sense of humor didn't ooze from the pours of my post in a very obvious manner. So, Twilight aside, any good book suggestions? I enjoy talking books and have wide ranging tastes. That is fairly straight forward.

You spelled a 4 letter word wrong, Mr. I'm well read.

I gave you the tools, you ignored them.
 
i'd help, but i've been reading ender's game and i'm halfway into xenocide and the preachy horseshit is really starting to drag down so books can fucking suck it.
 
I have read some of Orsen Card but I feel the same way. The last book I read wasTrue Grit as part of an NEA grant. It was good if you like westerns. The best western ever is Blood Meridian by McCarthy.

The last good fantasy books were The Eye of the World series by Robert Jordan.

I have an idea but there are so many new books out that it is difficult to know what is new AND good. I am simply looking for suggestions from other people.

I got my masters degree online, over the weekend, from Botswana U and it only cost $32.95 to get the diploma sent to me. They did spell Literature wrong but a little white out fixed that in a hurry.
 
Disgustipated pulled a rare one out and actually helped you by linking you with a thread for good book reading, yet you chose to ignore him. Now he's never gonna help anyone again, because it wasn't appreciated.
 
Thank you then. In all sincerity I misread the help in that. In my experience when I am told to fuck off, it is a fight. I misread the help in that which is easy to do on the internet without tone of voice and all that. So, I apologize if I offended anyone. Disgustipated, please continue to help others and accept my apologies.

My once a year help a n00b post went wasted. Fuck, it's only February.
 
I mainly read murder mysteries written by women authors, cookbooks, trade publications and reference books.

I used to enjoy Russian Lit and dramas from the late 1800's if you'd like any recommendations.
 
I haven't read much Russian Lit so would love some suggestions. What do you mean by trade publications?
 
I think I am going through manopause. I get fired up sometimes too quickly. Again, thank you.
