[kingarthurs]

pompeii is good. and the book that tells you how to make bombs and pick locks and shit is the anarchists cookbook.

 

[Alexander_Keith]

Thatd be the one

 

[killabees]

bible

 

[AtomicTweaker]

lord of the flies, and anything by dickens, nietzche, or kafka, and demian by herman hesse

[ERIEcoastSKIER]

kurt vonnegut

don delillo

ken kesey

joseph heller

ray bradbury

chuck palahnuik

george orwell

etc.

but mainly read kurt vonnegut- he's the man.

 

[soulskier]

all tom clancy books are good, and then i watched the movie and was disappointed

thats one thing about movies, no reading

 

[zackskis]

timeline, the call of the wild, fear and loathing in las vegas, and the other hunter s thompson book about him and lazlo in hawaii

 

[Skiing_Is_Fun]

Brave New World

 

[brogilvie]

My top five is

Catcher In the Rye

Ishmael

Short History of Nearly Everything

My Ishmael

Sid Hartha

 

[babysteeze84]

I really like Terry Pratchett, he's more of a fantasy but so true to life author.

 

[4frntSkier]

band of brothers, all quiet on the western front, the broker, the things they carried

and so many others i cant think of at the moment

 

[Itsbackfliptime]

The Giver (I read it in 5th grade but its still probably my favorite book ever)

Chronicles of Narnia

Map of Bones (a lot like Dan Brown)

Andromeda Strain

Other Michael Crichtons

I'm a pretty shallow reader. I just like to be entertained. I really hate deep meanings and symbolism.

 

[andy_boy]

Prey

Deception Point

 

[hollygrove]

Animal Farm is good. It really made me think..

 

[lalalalaura]

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick

Snow White and Russian Red by some polish girl

Million Little Pieces by James Frey

Junior by MacCauley Culkin

Screaming Life by Charles Peterson (well, collection of photos, but fucking sick, about seattle's grunge scene)

Book of the Subgenuis by the Subgenuis Foundation

I recently found out I generally like a book if it has alot of swearing and drug references... apparently i don't give a fuck about plot. Fancy that.

 

[St.Steezy]

yes, definetly Catcher in the Rye. One of the best books I have ever read.

 

[[~_~]]

call me crazy, but I didn't like 1984 that much...it dragged on with crazy philosophy that I already knew.

Fight Club is sick if you haven't seen the movie yet

 

[jibsworth]

Sam, read anything by Kurt Vonnegut - Slaughterhouse-Five is the best! everything else spectacular. trust me I wouldn't lie to you my icon sharing friend!

 

[Capt.Flannel]

haha thanks for the suggestion; I've read slaughterhouse five, galapagos, and part of Cat's Cradle. SL5 was great, the others were just ok.

 

[Uncle_Remus]

all book by W.E.B Griffion if ur into military fiction great author even tom clacy agrees

 

[Capt.Flannel]

Also, I found Catcher in the Rye a bit boring; anybody else think so? Cause all I see so far is that it's the greatest book ever written.

 

[sherpasrock]

"dracula" by bram stoker is my all time favorite.

 

[C-Burg]

Undaunted Courage

 

[sopher]

The Life of Pi and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime are really really good

 

[Capt.Flannel]

ooh sick, my sister has life of pi, I'll have to snag it.

 

[punkrock32]

Ishmael is the best book ever, i think everyone should read it

 

[LostCarKeys]

Read it, but I am not as big of a fan of his crazy explinations for impossible things... and when he is looking for the key, I was scared for him...

 

[GhostfaceKillah]

definatly read Ishmael

A Short History of Nearly Everything is good too

Catch-22 is money

 

[ERIEcoastSKIER]

read some william s. burroughs...his characters are mostly homosexual drugies. tons of crazy shit. crazy plot or crazy lack of plot. pretty intense and a bit confusing though.

 

[Demanda]

Hey Nostradamous and Miss Wyoming, both by Douglas Coupland are really good

 

[brogilvie]

Have you read My Ishmael aswell? Its really good too, My Ishmael makes you think that "My Ishmael" is better than Ishmael, but when you think about it after reading both. Ishmael is by far the better of the two. I want to read Story of B.

 

[bangarangmules]

the Davinci code was awesome!! way better than the movie

 

[III]

Dune is my favorite book. It just draws me in. I also really like Speaker for the Dead (Orson Scott Card) and Timeline (Michael Chricton).

 

[MitchPee]

Six Days

In the Company of Heroes

A Tale of Two Cities

1984

 

[Redstar]

[MrPantyDropper]

A Million Little Pieces

My Friend Leonard

I'm reading the Celestine Prophecy right now, and I'm going to start Whiteout after I'm done. I'll let you know how they are.

 

[Capt.Flannel]

Whiteout's by Follet right? I heard it's great but some pretty raunchy sex scenes.
