if you want books to change your life, check out 'the celestine prophecy' by james redford, if you want awesome story telling, check out 'life of pi' by yann martel, and if you want just an all around sick book check out nufonia must fall by kid koala

ok, if you like fantasy read The Dark Tower books by stephen king. i hate fantasy, but i can get enough of these books.

if you want some easy but extremely funny reads check out Tourist Season by Carl Hiaasen. you can go wrong w. hiaasen, and this is his best.

if you want thought provoking books, definately Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. best book ive ever read. A Clockwork Orange by Anothony Burgess is brilliant as well. the movie was good (kubric is a genius) but this blows it out of the water

The Crystal Shard and all the other books in that series by R.A. Salvatore if you like Fantasy

HIGH NORTH SESSION 4

The Hot Sauce Champion of the World
 
sick, freeskifro, hunter s. thompson is a genious, theres a profile on him in the current issue of high times. has anyone read the book to fear and loathing in las vegas? he wrote it, and i bet it blows the movie out of the water.

btw. if you like movies that have been turned into books or vice versa, fight club is a fantastic book, alot more into the mind of tyler durden

Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas is an awesome book. its better than the movie.

Fight Club is one of my favorite books ever. Chuck Palaniuk (sp?) is really good. ive also read Suvivor by him, which is great as well.

I'm glad someone mention Carl Hiaasen (sp). His books are so well written and so funny. I suggest you pick up anyone of those.

 
anything by Clive Cussler. they're like 600+ pages but u can breeze through it in a couple weeks (2-4)

of mice and men by steinbeck is good and short. it'll take maybe 3 days to finish it. i'm currently reading the dharma bums by kerouac, it's more interesting than On The Road, that book is very boring at certain parts. like someone said before, a separate peace is also a good read, that'll take a short time to read too. A excellent biography is Down the Highway: The Life and Times of Bob Dylan.

Word word...anthony chavez actually suggested him to me cause I guess he taught or teaches at Exeter? but his books are definetly the new hotness. Ive read angels and demons, the da vinci code, and deception point, but now his first one, digitla fortress.

Both have been listed but A Clockwork Orange and Catch 22 are great books. I also really like A Swiftly Tilting Planet, and A Ring Of Endless Light, by somthing-something L'Engle, I had to read them in grade school and even now I still love them.

A good friend will always bail you out of jail, but a best friend will be sitting right next to you saying that was fucking awesome.
