1984
Black Hawk Down The Catcher In the Rye Of Mice And Men The Stand The Killer Angels Just a few of the top of my head. |
|
Tolkien's stuff- Hobbit, Lord of the Rings. And I agree about the Stand.
|
|
The Harry Potter series. I've read it about five times, but it's been nearly two years.
Also the Lensmen series. Awesome classic sci-fi. |
|
"The Gates of Fire" by Steven Pressfield. Awesome read and I'm looking forward to doing it again.
|
|
Time, love, and memory by Jonathon Weiner
QB VII by Leon Uris |
|
Catch 22
The Empty Land Both are books I try to read at least once a year. |
|
Lately, I've been thinking about reading "Shogun" again.
Love that book. |
|
The Gulag Archipelago. Used to be in at least yearly rotation, along with Starship Troopers and a few others. |
|
The Bible, which is the most important, but Homer's Iliad, Plato's Republic, Aristotle's Complete Works, anything by J.Frank Dobie, and of course anything regarding the Far Side !
|
|
"Enemy at the gates" by William Craig. Much better than the movie.

View Quote I'm reading through A Song of Ice and Fire for the second time and picking up a LOT more than I did the first time through. I just finished all 41 Discworld novels (I started in September). Brilliant series that I'll definitely read again in the future. The first Ringworld book is worth another read. Also, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Dune Ender's Game (whole series is great imho) Starship Troopers Animal Farm (needs to be read over and over) Art of War (ditto) John Dies at the End (WAY better than the movie) Anything by Carl Sagan Moby Dick Old Man and the Sea Lots of others worth a second or third reading. |

Dune Mists of Avalon Mutiny on the Bounty Hunt for Red October My little brother is a genius, went to a school for the gifted. He read War and Peace when he was 10, keeps challenging me to read it. I'm on the fence about it. He has HFA which is probably why he enjoyed it. I'm not so sure I will. |

the selfish gene....it's like being totally naked and defenseless and looking into a mirror.

Guts by Gary Paulsen. Filled with accounts of the events that Brian went through in Hatchet
|
|
Don Quixote, the modern Edith Grossman translation. You will laugh your ass off at all the potty and sexy humor the puritans edited out of the earlier translations.
|

Don Quixote
Steppenwolf Cat's Cradle The Old Man and the Sea |
|
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
Flatland Dune Atlas Shrugged The Fountainhead |

Hackers - steven levy
Talent code I know why the caged bird sings - maya angelou Iococa - autobiography Gunslinger series - stephen king |
|
Last of the Breed
Son of the Morning Star Shelby Foote's Civil War series |
|
Think and Grow Rich
How to Win Friends and Influence People Shoninki |
|
The Donner Party Chronicles and Endurance. Both great books - both are well researched and historically accurate accounts.
Edit to add that Talking Hands by Margalit Fox (yes, that's the correct spelling) is an excellent read if you're interested in linguistic anthropology and/or sociolinguistics. I'll probably start rereading this one this weekend. |
