Yeah, so I have a new found passion in reading. Used to hate it, but now I find it relaxing and use it as an escape from reality.

Please tell me your favorite book and brief background about it, im looking for a new read.

As of now my favorite book is: The King of Torts by John Grisham

yea i just got back into reading too. i loved the fortress of solitude by jonathan lethem, it's about a white kid growing up in nyc, and it basically follows him through his life until he's about 30 something. there isnt a real captivating storyline, but it's so interesting the way he writes it.

TO THE COMMONS!!!! but not up thos estairs......theyre forbidden fruit. and dont even think of landing a 737 in there on ms blums watch, she'll kick that shit out especially if it doesnt throw away its yogurtt

"The Minds of Billy Milligan", I picked this up in Cambodia and could not take my eyes off it for 3 days straight. It is a true story about a guy named Billy Milligan who had 21 different personalities. It is totally documented and factual novel. It goes through everything he did and which personality is controlling him during each action. Crazy Crazy book......a definate read.

The only enemy agaist progression is FEAR!
 
i have recently rediscovered how much i love reading.

you know what you should do, find a used book store and search it for how ever long it takes you to find at least 5 books you want to read. it's cheap too. and just look through stuff, pick up authors you've never heard of and try it out. i did it, and read some really really good books.

Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer...non fiction book. I really enjoyed it and have read it a few times.

It is about a kid who graduates college with a very high gpa, and just tries to life a nomatic life. Hitchhiking or "tramping" across the nation until he comes up with a plan to make it to Alaska where he dies. I didn't give anything away, trust me. In fact it says this on the front cover!

The author gets his journal, and contacts people who he met through the nation from his old mail and what he writes in his journal....there is one dry spot in the book where the author talks about how other people tried to do similar stuff. I think you'll enjoy the book a lot, I have.

The Catcher in the Rye - one of my favorites of all time, that will never change. On the Road is great as well as 1984 and Catch-22 is funny.

skiing is for muggles
 
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Catch-22

and my two personal favorites

THE DAVINCI CODE

ANGELS AND DEMONS

dan brown is an amazing writer

"You know, I'm sick of following my dreams man. I'm just gonna ask them where they're going, and hook up with them later."

The divinci code and angles and demonds by dan brown are both good... also david baldachi the last man standing

 
A Clockwork Orange is my all time favorite book. Alos Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas is an awesome book.
