How can every novel be derivative if so many were written before kafka. There are plenty novels out there to read.
Really dumb comment about blatt Gemara Btw if you want to talk about Gemara start a "learn blatt Gemara thread" a deal we can all join and talk there. In the meantime don't come to a thread regarding books and try to be all elitist and holier the  the rest of us that read "goyisher beecher"...

On a side note, the only book that I heard to be the basis of all American novels and Hollywood movies is Homer's Odyssey

I'm sorry. I will stay away from this thread. I apologize for annoying you.

Thanks:)
On a side note its ironic for someone to recommend The Trial by Kafka which isn't the cleanest book out there and a blatt gemara at the same time...

Anyone one ever read Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch album. I don't read much and a friend recommended it. It completely blew my mind. Must read.

yeah, was ok. If you liked this book you'll probably like his other book "the five people you meet in heaven". I thought it was much better.

I just ordered a childhood favorite of mine from Amazon "Sideways Arithmetic From Wayside School" by Louis Sachar.

Any other fans out there?

Another exellent read is "The Heavenly Time Machine" by Morris Engelson. Ridiculously good. Blow your socks off.

+2. and if you like Louis Sachar (rhymes with cracker), check out his book Holes (Fiction).

For the sports-pop-culture-humor enthusiasts, Bill Simmons' "The Book of Basketball: The NBA According to the Sports Guy" is a must.

Wow. That brings back memories. Must have read it in 3rd grade. Very cute. Holes was also very good.

Morris Engelson? Is he the jewish physicist who writes for Mishpacha's Kulmus occasionally?

Not sure. Its possible.
I used to get caught up in authors and make them bigger than their work but not anymore. Just because someone writes a good book does not mean I have to go out and read everything they've every written. I go book by book now. I'll even put down a series if the author mails it in and releases junk as a sequel.

What i"m trying to say is that I don't know the guy from Adam but I loved his book.

Was anyone else completely disappointed with the Bourne series after Robert Ludlum died?
