Need a new book to read

[Brigandier]

Well, my mind is bored and in need of a distraction. I am drawing on the infite wisdom of the itnernet to reccommend a book for me to read. I like good literature, my favorite author is Dostoevsky, and I like works the delve into the philosophical aspects of a character. Ayn Rnad is another favorite author. I am open to anything good, regardless of genre or classification.

greenspan's autobiography. pick up some vonnegut books, if dark humor is your thing. plus he writes well and each story is short and filled with whimsy.

if you are into pop psychology, i would pick up books by Malcolm Gladwell.

I've read Cat's Cradle and enjoyed it thoroughly.

If you want something a little different, I just read Time Bandit: Two Brothers, the Bering Sea, and One of the World's Deadliest Jobs

It is not the usual read for me, but I was drawn into the story. You could tell that it was written by armature authors at times, however the story was engaging enough that I didn't care. Highly recommend.

Pretty much all of the John Grisham novels are excellent reads. Currently I'm working on The King of Torts, and it's pretty steller. I'd also recommend The Testament and The Last Juror.

I've read all of Grisham's work up to like 2002, as a young man I was big into him and couldn't put him down. Unfortunately, I got to highschool a nd lost the Grisham spark.

I agree with the Vonnegut recommendation. Pretty much anything is good by him.
