Give me some ideas.

I think you should read Red, Black and White. [three seperate books] by Ted Dekker.
White
Red
I couldnt find the link to Black. But its a very interesting triology.

I already suggested The War of Art.
How about...

All SPs should read this:

The Book Of The SubGenius,: Intro and Ch. 1

Favorite texts of mine when younger:

The Call of the Wild - Jack London
Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger
Dracula - Bram Stoker
Eyes of the Dragon - Stephen King

Recently, I read a book by a Floridian author that was HILARIOUS:

Lucky You - Carl Hiaasen

Hmmm...thinking of others...I don't read many things other than what I have to in order to accomplish what I have to do (work/school) or want to do (play music, make money, build things, plants, etc.)

I really like TIME Magazine.

The Call of the Wild - Jack London
Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger
Dracula - Bram Stoker
Eyes of the Dragon - Stephen King

Three of those I loved too. I'm going through a phase of reading them again. As that is all they have at the library over here.

 

[Kingfisher]

yeah, i liked Call Of The Wild a lot. and Catcher In The Rye is one of my favorite books.

Callisto by Torsten Krol. One of the most spectacular books I've read in awhile.

Also, American Elf by James Kolchaka. It's a comic strip daily diary gathered into three volumes, and it is perfect.

 

[brainheart]

Also, I pretty much grew up on all things Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Others: Stuff by Tom Brown, Jr., especially The Tracker. Cormac McCarthy is also good.

Another: How to Be Idle: A Loafer's Manifesto by Tom Hodgkinson

Thanks. That's cool.

ISTP library: Mad magazine.

I love author Tanith Lee especially her series "The Flat Earth Cycle"

I really enjoyed Twilight, put me to shame. It is a guilty pleasure, I don't think she is an amazing writer. or anything though.

I quite liked The Book Theif. I am have just been reading my boyfriend's collection of Terry Goodkinds Seeker books. I have read the first two books, but because of the length, I felt as if it was a chore. Terry Goodkind seems to write about things that don't have any impact on the rest of the story.

I am currently reading Fire by Kristen Cashore, I haven't got far in it, but i'm giving it time. I'm not really stuck into it yet.

 

[Julie1962]

I'm currently reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.

 

[miss fortune]

I always obsessed over travel books and National Geographic- it let me mentally travel and plot my travel itenerary for in case I ever got rich

 

[sciski]

The Princess Bride - William Goldman
To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee

 

[KDude]

(That's unabridged... I just have a smaller version.. hmm.. interesting guy though, with a very well rounded outlook. And not at all like what the typical myths about him sound like. )

If you like Rock at all, then that's probably the funniest book on the subject.

 

[Walking Tourist]

I am currently reading Three Cups of Tea, by By Greg Mortenson & David Oliver Relin.
