The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien; its about the Vietnam War. It was a good book, go read it...

 

[exp]

War and Peace by L. Tolstoy

I was always curious about this one. So-called "classic" novels usually make me retch but W&P is actually quite good. I would have no qualms about reading it again.

The End for Which God Created the World by Jonathan Edwards (a dead puritan). None of you will read it, ever, so there's no use in recomending it.

 

[ThePresence]

Nelson DeMille - The Lion's Game

That's an awesome deal. We have something going on here now where you give a book in good condition and you get to pick out two books they have. It's hard to find great titles but I picked up quite a few good books.

 

[Vortex22]

The Grapes of Wrath... not of my own free will. :|

 

[Instagib]

House Corrino- A prequel in the Dune series written by Frank Herbert's son and some other writer.

He who controls the spice controls the world.

 

[jjones]

Advise and Consent by Allen Drury. Great book; I think this is about the third time I've read it. I usually read about 3-4 books a month as I'd rather read than watch TV. Just started on a book called Vortex by Larry Bond.

 

[Spooner]

Maxim.

 

[GSOYF]

Howard Stern's "Ms. America" ....'bout 5 months ago....some funny shiznit

The Silver Wolf by Alice Borchardt (Anne Rice's sister)

good book but it's quite old, mid 1999. i haven't touched a book in almost six months. it's about a shapeshifter, woman into wolf. nice story. it was the first book in a series of 3.

 

[Feanor727]

At the Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft, previous to that was The Silver Hand by Stephen R. Lawhead

 

[GermyBoy]

C: Traps and Pitfalls.

Started/finished it last night. Very exciting book.

 

[Pastore]

Barabbas by Par Lagerkvist

Awesome swedish writer... some great philosophy in his work!

 

[MazerRackham]

Orson Scott Card's 'Xenocide'

the 3rd book in the Ender series.... great books!

 

[LaBang]

"The End Of Nature" - Bill Mckibbens a good book on why the author thinks that the natural world is no more because we have altered the atmostphere. lots of intresting information
"Gaviotas" author is on the tip of my tounge. Great story about a sustainable living village in columbia.

I'm currently reading "stupid white men" by michael moore. Some of the chapters are excellent (like the one on the bush admin) I consider them a must read for EVERYONE! but a lot of the other chapters are stupid and just trying to be funny.

I listed three becuase I've read them all within the last month.

 

[syzygy]

just finished camus' 'the fall'
currently, gogol's 'dead souls'
next, gogol's 'the overcoat and other short stories'.

 

[XZeroII]

God's Debris. A great book by Scott Adams (Creator of Dilbert). It's a thought experiment. Another way to look at the world which seems implausible, but you can't really say that's not the way it is. Non-religious for those of you who are that way...

 

[squirrelman]

Hmm the last book I read was Venus in Furs by Leopold Von Sacher Mascoh (sp?). It was pretty cool but I must say a tad disturbing. Incase you didnt know the "M" in S&M comes from his last name.
