Book Suggestions

[KarmaPolice]

I am going to the library today and need some suggestions on books to read.

I just finished Lord of the Fly's, slaughterhouse 5, and The Sirens of Titan and I liked those a lot.

Some of my other favorite books are 1984, F451, Catch 22, Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy,

You can check out Brave New World if you havent.
The Jungle
Cat's Cradle
The Satanic Verses
Snow
Mountains Beyond Mountains
The God Delusion
Ishmael
Complications
The Kite Runner

You can also read some of Ayn Rand's stuff. From a literature stand point it's pretty good stuff, dont agree w/ her political standpoint thought, which is probably why i never bothered to read Atlas Shrugged, just Fountainhead.

I'd read Dune over Ender's Game, if you haven't read them yet. Ender is written like a YA novel and it kinda detracted from the book.

If you like sci fi, also check out hyperion by dan simmons.
