Antichrista by Amelie Nothomb
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger - not fiction but very readable.
The Collector by John Fowles
Monster Love by Carol Topolski - very distressing, definately not a happily ever after book.
In Search of Ada ... ... may I suggest you check out Fevre Dream?
Jenson, for you I've selected Fire. I really enjoyed Sebastian Junger's Perfect Storm (never saw the movie) so I'm curious to see how this one holds up.
As for me, anything in my library that isn't tagged "mooched away" is fair game. But you ... ... PM me and we'll set up a phone conversation. ;-)
On a more serious note, I just bought Beyond the Coral Sea and The Perfect Storm, either which I think might work for this, but Life of Pi has been on my TBR for a long time, so maybe that's the one. The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger ... which has been nice, but never one from an author I didn't like.
Sebastian Junger was very nice when I emailed him about The Perfect Storm and Anita Diamant was lovely when I wrote to her about Pitching My Tent.
On Library Thing, Rob Shearman is always nice and friendly and happy to ... ... For me three that spring to mind immediately are:
Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors by Piers Paul Read
The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger
Race Across Alaska: First Woman to win the Iditarod tells her story by Libby Riddles ... into loved or hated but gave us a good but unexpected debate on whether her illness had affected her writing negatively. A Perfect Storm made most of us cry but for different reasons.
2. All get a different book by the same author and talk about the one we got. It was a bit odd because it ... ... I received last month. I love adventure memoir, and had loved other fishing adventure books, like The Hungry Ocean and The Perfect Storm. Review coming soon.
Now I've started Ex Libris, which resonates with me, though I've only read the first chapter.
I wonder how my new job will ... Oh, and how about how the movie version just totally trashed Sebastian Junger's exciting The Perfect Storm. Yeesh. ... Beach - Ian McEwan
Delta wedding - Eudora Welty
Ocean Adventures
Life of Pi - Yann Martel
The Perfect Storm - Sebastian Junger
Parent Child Relationships
The World According to Garp - John Irving
Amy & Isabel - Elizabeth Strout
S ... The Sinking of the Titanic and Great Sea Disasters
Watership Down
The Perfect Storm
Robinson Crusoe
The Old Man and the Sea
Kon-Tiki
Any of those catch your interest?
My wife and I did a cruise (Alaska) last summer. We brought (from home) too many books. Just bring one ... ... prose and thoughts...
I cried when I dropped The Power Game by Hedrick Smith on my toe.
I cried (a little) when I read A Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger The Perfect Storm - A True Story Of Men Against The Sea by Sebastian Junger ... might find interesting are:
The Strange Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst by Nicholas Tomalin and Ron Hall, and The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger.
Touchstones seems to have rather doubled-up. Probably because I went back and added the brackets as an afterthought! Sigh... ... The Color Purple - Alice Walker
The Perfect Storm - Sebastian Junger
Les Miserables - Victor Hugo
Schindler's List - Thomas Keneally
Emma - Jane Austen If you decide to read The Perfect Storm, I have a copy I can send to you (as long as you're in the U.S.). If you're interested, send me a private message via BookCrossing. My screen name there is also SqueakyChu. ... Lee Miller tells the story of the people who disappeared from the first Virginia colony started in the Americas.
Alive & The perfect storm also read like exciting novels. ... by Piers Paul Read - about the survival of a team of soccer players whose plane crashed in the Andes Moutains
3. The Perfect Storm - a story of disaster at sea and the difficult lives of swordfishermen. This had been made into a movie.
None of these are "heavy". All read as ... ... uplate in the evening, and the 'Andrea Gail' crew hangs their rain gear in the tool roomand tramps into the kitchen.
The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger The Perfect Storm: A True Story of Men Against the Sea by Sebastian Junger ... Girl Philippa Gregory
37 - The Queen's Fool: A Novel Philippa Gregory
38 - High Noon Nora Roberts
39 - Perfect Match: A Novel Jodi Picoult ... Out There, so I think I am goign to have to pick that one up!
I read an interview with Jennifer Niesslein about Practically Perfect in Every Way on Salon, and that looked very interesting. It looked like she had a good, healthy perspective on all this self-improvement stuff. A Wind in the Door by Madeleine L'Engle
Autumn Lightning by Dave Lowry
The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger
Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson
Fire Watch by Connie Willis ... had a suggestion for The Half King Restaurant & Bar. Apparently the author of Perfect Storm, Sebastian Junger is a co-owner, and it's not too far from Javits (23rd st and 10th ave)... Thoughts?

cross posted to SqueakyChu in Book talk : Books about Water/Ocean? (Mar 21, 2007, 9:25pm) ... adrift at sea -- The Fisherman's Son by Michael Koepf
Nonfiction, swordfishing, drowning at sea, violent storm -- The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger ... Mysteries of World War II by Robert Kurson. It's a non-fiction adventure story along the lines of Into Thin Air and The Perfect Storm with a bit of World War II history thrown in. It's about diving, which I have no inclination to do, but I loved Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea by Ga ... ... key detectives in a murder mystery. It's a really wonderful read.
Anyone read A Death in Belmont by Sebastian Junger (Perfect Storm) or Gracefully Insane by Alex Beam? The former is about the Boston Strangler and the latter about McClean Hospital. I've been meaning to check both out.
