Re: Books that make you think... or act!

Well I was always proud that I'm a book worm until I read this post, there're so many good books I haven't heard about. The most moving I've ever read (also my most favorite) is "Le Taon". It's so insightful and impressive. Le Taon (Arthur)'s life has been obssessing me for a long time. He always strived, and though he died painfully, his life was totally meaningful. I'm just obssessed by the image of his death, very unyielding, and his saying:"It's me, who used to beg for leftover meal unsuceessfully, because it is for dogs, not for me" (this quotation is translated from the Vietnamese version, not the origin)
My favorite author is Paulo Coelho (actually, I always had a headache when I read his ) and Ernest Heminguay ("The Old man and the Sea" is my best choice, what a simple but very deep story. Many lessons're contained in such a simple one)
And hey I'm a READAHOLIC too^^ anyone interested in books and reading, please leave a message for me. Hope we can exchange and learn more from each other. Long live books!

I suppose that "The Trial" by Franz Kafka doesn't make [you] think or act, it makes [you] guess and get puzzled.

Here is a really interesting radio interview with the Gnostic author of "CHURCH OF GOD? OR THE TEMPLES OF SATAN" - a book which will really make you think. CLICK HERE

Kind of provoking about the human race : les particules elementaires - Michel Houellebecq , which has been made as a movie , this year, in Germany.
1984 and Animal farm, from George Orwell were kinda great too. He shows us some flaws of society across time, in a really interesting way.
More to come..

Dear Augustas!
IMHO, I didn't say that Franz Kafka was not a genius writer (it's a rare thing when a person writes as if he turned to an insect - great story!!!), but I said that such books can hardly make act or think. They are a kind of shock that makes re-think! Thus, there are thoughts-provoking books and thoughts-shocking books.

Right now, three writers come into my mind - Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Albert Camus and Kurt Vonnegut.

i really love to read but i must confess i must really overwhelmed by the titles of the books some of you guys have read due to them being available to you. i believe the written word has the power to make you think and act. i think every reader must be held accountable for every word he reads.
the next time you are about to open your next book think wisely or else you'll act rashly

Well, I am a big reader - both fiction and non-fiction. But I think I will stick with the first book that had a powerful impact on me. When I was about 13 I read Alex Haley's "Roots" and it's been one of my favourite books ever since. It taught me a lot, at an impressionable time in my life, about basic human rights and dignity. Left a powerful impression that I have never forgotten

One of my most favorite books that I have read in recent years is The Kite Runner. It is such a beautifully written book with just the right amount of description and is most definitely a story that captivates you from the moment that you open the book. I think I read it in one sitting! Definitely check it out!
Another one of my favorites are:
-Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
and for fun...[/i]The Devil Wears Prada[i] is fantastic!
