Hi there,Originally Posted by mohammadali
The Catcher in the Rye is a great novel and I hope you'll like it. I'd strongly advise you to read Heart of Darkness and Lord of the Flies. Of course you can also watch movies based on them but if you're interested in literature and if you want to improve your English, there is no better way than to read, read, and read.

"It was the summer that men first walked on the moon". I've started to read this book on 25. August, just two hours before I've known that Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, died. The book about nature of coincidence, by the way, so I decided to finish it.
Just started 'The Da Vinci Code' by Dan Brown. Maybe bit divine reading will get my creative brain going.

I am always drawn back to places where I have lived, the houses and their neighbourhoods.

It surprises me that mid-20th century literature seems as dated as 19th century literature. Most the characters in this book seem to be out of an old Broadway musical, but then it was set during the 2nd World War, although nowhere near any fighting. I am enjoying the plot so far as it goes. It's about a young, high class call-girl, who would be obnoxious if she wasn't so charming.
According to Aldous Huxley, D.H. Lawrence once said that Balzac was 'a gigantic dwarf', and in a sense the same is true of Dickens.

The Winter Of Our Discontent by John Steinbeck
the luminous grass of the prairie hides
feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
but weighty and unmovable
As black Dakota hills. ~ Riesa
