Thanks. That does explain it.

yes. I just want to know whether the absence of a "to" is legit and why

This is an excerpt from Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a young poet.

"Do not now strive to uncover answers: they cannot be given you because you have not been able to live them. And what matters...

how come no one recommended Letters to a young poet

I think I knew the existence of those pages, looking for exceptional recommendations from members here.

Nice recommendations.

I am looking for recommendation which uses the medium/device exceptionally well.

Any new modern ones? What about Attachments by Rainbow Rowell, is it any good?

Any good recommendations for books in this format..

What about something along the lines of Billy Collins as well

I should have used the word contemporary perhaps.

But I am fine with anything after 1960s.

Looking for some recommendations for modern poets...
Anything that's striking..

Anything along the lines of mainstream poetry or metaphysical.

That's not a bad idea..

I love:
Hamlet
Heart of Darkness
Catcher in the Rye
20,000 Leagues under the sea
Great Expectations
Moby Dick
Siddharta

Also into comics, but none of the tattoo designs I googled seem...

Yes, it was good. I am trying to get more of McManus' work

I am currently reading Jack Handey's What I'd Say to the Martians.

I highly recommend it.

I am looking for ideas for minimalist tattoo designs..

Something related to art or literature.

But keep the recommendations coming.. I have a vacation planned soon..
Would be nice to catch up on a lot of reading.

Anyone read Book of other people by Zadie Smith. Is it any good?

Also any...

I got Horse in my garage, plan to start it in a while.

No You only get to choose one
:biggrin5:

Actually, was looking for something of that sort.

Thanks a lot.

Literary Lapses by Leacock caught my interest. Thanks.

Which one of the three do you recommend the most. The descriptions online doesn't make my decision easier.

Though not a work of fiction, Oliver Sacks' The Man who mistook his wife for a hat is really funny.
Any more non-fiction works like these, collection of essays perhaps?

Thanks to all.
I'll look into the recommendations.

If there are more, please do let me know.

Welcome.
Nice to have you here.

What do you mostly like to read?

Thanks.
Anything in particular I should be looking of the recommended authors.
