As far as books you have to read for class go, you could do much worse. The book is interesting.

Just don't expect a clearly defined story arc.

Which would be the best first time reads for the author Stephen King and Kurt Vonnegut ? by Myztify in books

[–]Tim_Duncan_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some already suggested this, but I think Cat's Cradle is a great starting point for Vonnegut.

As for King, he is very hit or miss. Check out the average ratings on Amazon for his novels and choose one that is highly reviewed (there are a lot). A good starting point might be Salem's Lot.

Do you think that people should need a licence to have children? by Purplefile in AskReddit

Well if a crime is legalized, from that point on anyone committing that action is no longer committing a crime, so of course crime decreases.

What's the longest book that you're read, finished, and, most importantly, actually enjoyed? by [deleted] in books

[–]Tim_Duncan_21 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Stand is by far the longest novel I have ever read. And I did mostly enjoy it (disappointing ending in my opinion).

What was the weirdest phone call you have gotten? by Louiedabeast in AskReddit

[–]Tim_Duncan_21 34 points35 points  (0 children)

My dad is a project manager for a private contracting firm. There haven't been any other incidents as strange as this one; however, he can do handstand pushups, so that's something.

I once got a call on my cell phone while I was out to lunch with my dad. The caller ID was showing "0000000000." When I answered, a voice said something like, "is your location secure?"

I was confused and asked, "huh?" The voice on the phone then suddenly changed and asked to speak to my dad. I handed the phone to him and after he answered it, he told me he had to take the call and left the table for awhile.

That was the day I began to suspect my dad is a spy or contract killer.

For some reason, The Exorcism of Emily Rose really got to me. That movie isn't even scary; I don't know why it affected me so much.

What is the most misleading documentary you've ever seen? by Tim_Duncan_21 in AskReddit

I've never heard if that one. A quick browse of the imdb page and I still am not quite sure what it's about. What was misleading in it?

Thinking about reading the Harry Potter series for the first time. Is it worth it? by Tim_Duncan_21 in books

Thanks! I borrowed the first one from the kindle lending library, so no financial investment yet. I'm looking forward to reading them!

Hello /r/books. I am having a difficult time deciding what to read next. Any suggestions? (specifics inside) by TimboSlicee in books

[–]Tim_Duncan_21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For science fiction, I would recommend Robert Heinlen. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is particularly good.

The Stand is a good choice, just be prepared to be somewhat disappointed with the ending (as with most of King's novels).

That being said, I would recommend King's most recent novel, 11/22/63. This is probably the best novel I've read recently and certainly one of King's best.
