I second that. Unless I get really good recommendation, I usually don't initiate reading a fiction. However, I did enjoy 1984 and Animal Farm, and Brave New world. I've had Fahrenheit 451, Catch 22, Gatsby on my wish list, but they got shuffled away somehowOriginally posted by screaming_emu
By the sounds of this, I should get my hand on a Tim O'Brien book too!
Also, since I took European civilization, I've acquired a mild interest in books by the Philosophes. First on that list would be Candide by Voltaire

I really like Dan Brown. I had to read The DaVinci Code for a class here at Riddle, now I'm addicted to his books.*~*Jess*~*

Another good author (for those who like fiction)...Arthur Hailey. He wrote Airport, Hotel, Wheels among other...all great books to read on long flights

Anything by Steinbeck. John McCain writes great memoirs if you are into them. Just stay the hell away from Dickens and you will be ok.THE VOICE OF REASON HAS SPOKEN!
Pop quiz: Which US president said, "Saddam Hussein has spent the better part of this decade, and much of his nation's wealth, not on providing for the Iraqi people, but on developing nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them."
George W. Bush is not correct. It was Bill Clinton in his 1998 State of the Union speech. HMMMMMMMMM.Comment

Jess after reading The DeVinci Code I’ve moved onto Deception Point, which is another book that i cant seem to put down. After I’ve finished this one ill hit up Digital Fortress and maybe Angels and Demons. I have this thing where if i find a book I like, ill go ahead and read EVERY book by that author. lolOriginally posted by JessinMEM
Bill Bryson is a travel writer who's writing style is pure comical genius. I suggest everyone go out and try one of his books; especially: "Walkabout", or "Notes from a small Island". (which i am particularly found of mainly because i love books that are written by people who live in the US
Carl Heisen is more of a crime/thriller writer, but again i was drawn in by his impeccable and very descriptive writing style. I've read all....9 of his books i think. None of them were less than superb. Another author i can highly recommend for a good summer vacation book.

Last book i read was the first Harry Potter about 5 years ago, now i'm mentally scarred for life.
Currently thinking of trying out Angels and Demons by Dan Brown but books can get boring to fast.Comment

I've read "The Great Gatsby" & "Animal Farm" out of the ones Clovis listeed...both were good. I thought Gatsby was the better of the two.
I'm starting to read again to kill time & when I can't sleep on Sunday nights. I like Jack Higgins books...I finished "On Dangerous Ground" earlier this year & it was a really good spy story. Currently working on "Year of the Tiger". I've also pieced through part of Jimmy Buffett's "A Pirate Looks at Fifty" (has some good flying tales) & read "Driver #8" by Dale Earnhardt, Jr. a while back...interesting look at a year in the life of a NASCAR driver.
