I'm really into books about philosophy and identity. I just finished reading The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera (really great writing style also). Also one of my all-time favorite authors is Ayn Rand, pretty much anything by her is good..my favorite is The Fountainhead.

Shogun - James Clavell I believe. It's really good so far, but because I had midterms this past couple weeks I haven't been able to read it.

You fail for not reading my last post >.>

I'm currently reading Wigfield: The Can-Do Town That Just May Not by Amy Sedaris, Stephen Colbert, and Paul Dinello. If you're a Strangers with Candy fan, I'd say go for it.

Two favorites I recommend to everyone:

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore

Rivethead: Tales from the Assembly Line by Ben Hamper

Wow I totally missed that somehow ><

Yeah... it gets better.

Wizard and Glass is, imo, one of the best stories ever written.

Currently about 100 pages from finishing The Song of Susannah

Next on the list is the last book, then feast of crows, then the last series of unforunate events book.


Oh and I don't know why people like the Sword of Truth books >.>; Every book is the same in that series -.-;

Confederacy of Dunces, have to read it for school but I seem to like it so far

fucking A awesome book...such a shame he never wrote another book.

Right now, reading Lattitudes and Attitudes by Friedman, it's decent, even though his column is basically IR for Dummies. I recently tried to read A Clockwork Orange, but it's just too much work to read. I'd rather not learn a new language just to read a book.

I was reading No One's Perfect by Hirotada Otokake, pretty interesting book, but now I'm moving on to a book about Hirohito. I'm a history nerd.

Freakanomics
1984
I'll remember some more one of these days...

[Remembrance]

The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind is a badass fantasy series. The first book is Wizard's First Rule.

^ the shit right there. Can't wait for the last book of chainfire =/

If you enjoy that writing style/plots, Sara Douglass' Wayfarer Redemption series is dope also.

[Dezzimal]

As of right now: Dune.

I've never read dune before, and I wholeheartedly agree with it being a staple scifi book. I enjoy Science Fiction/Dystopian books. 1984, Lord of the Flies, Star Wars, Net Force.

[Dynamislord]

As far as I'm concered their is only one book: The Alphabet of Manlieness.

I read that for an AP class! It was kinda interesting.

As for books that I've read recently.. uh not much. Last realy book I read was month or two ago, The Riddlemaster trilogy. I think imma reread it soon though, good book imo.

East of Eden - John Steinbeck

a m a z i n g book.

Didnt read anything recently, but I loved everything wrote by Margaret Weis. Her most popular series is Dragon Lance, but at the same time, it was probably her worst. It wasnt bad or anything (it was great actually, but too close of your typical DnD books most of the time). I but I would recommand them to anyone who like fantastic/science fiction story.

Dark sword saga, and Star of the guardian were probably my 2 favorite series.

[Gilanth]

Just finished Dragons of Dwarvern Depths, yet another Dragonlance fan , Any fans of the series will probably get that from my name.

I'm currently 9/11ths of the way through a Wheel of Time re-read. Jordan was the author that pulled me back into reading as a hobby at age 15, after having ditched it for videogames.

Other favorites:
Song of Ice and Fire, George RR Martin
Dune series, Frank Herbert (NOT the stuff written by his son and that guy)
Tom Clancy's books about Jack Ryan (like all his fiction, basically)
The Asian Saga (All of James Clavell's historical fiction)
The Stand, Stephen King
The Vampire Chronicles, Anne Rice (love them all except shitty no.4)
As for The Dark Tower, it's an amazing series indeed, but the crossing over into our universe I don't care for. Best books in the series to me, are 1, 4, 5, and 7. If you only read one, read the first. Should be obvious, but I think it's overall the coolest, as well as most self-contained.

Non fiction:
See No Evil, Robert Baer (the movie Syriana is loosely based on this auto-biography)
Anything by Noam Chomsky is provocative...
The Japanese Have A Word For It (forgot the author)
Fast Food Nation, Eric Schlosser
One other book I forgot the name of, but is basically about how the US fucks over the rest of the world constantly...

I read the original Dragonlance trilogy on a friend's reccommendation, and I thought it was ass. Badly written, trite, and predictable to a fault.

And someone mentioned the Left Behind series... ROFL
