One book I read that really made me think was Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Dafoe (Defoe? I forget now)

I went in thinking it was a typical story, you know? Stranded on an island, blah blah blah.

but I'll tell you, it was sooo much deeper. It was about a person who comes to term with his fate, his God, his spiritual self. It made me think for at least a year afterward. I highly recommend it.

Is the face by koontz? I can't remember the guys name in catcher but what a character so brilliantly written.
Spikespiegel have you read 1984, by Orwell. Possibly the most powerful book I have ever read. I was affected by it for weeks after finishing it.

Spike*Spiegel · 06-27-2005, 10:27 PM

yup. its an awesome read with some twisted dark humor. never read 1984 but its been on my to read list forever.
