Books
 

Anyone care to suggest books? I'm running out of things to read.

If you care, the following are worth reading.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami - If you don't know about Murakami, you know nothing of Japan. Got my user name from it (duh). It's an excellent book. Maybe a little long winded at times, but good reading if you care about Japanese culture at all. Also, Norwegian Wood is required Murakami, it's Japan's Catcher In The Rye.

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski - Possibly the most confusing book i've ever read. One of the best horror novels ever written. While talking about horror...

I am Legend by Richard Matheson - Excellent horror. Slow from time to time, but picks up fast. One of the few horror books that scared me.

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson - Cyberpunk rocks my socks off. Any book where the main character is named Hiro Protagonist is a winner in my book.

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath - Great book. Sylvia Plath is the only poet I'll read and her book is wonderful.

The Plauge by Albert Camus - One of the finest books I have ever read.

anything written by Chuck Palahniuk - blah blah blah, everyone knows. No real reason to list them. (Invisble Monsters > Fight Club > Lullaby)

Anything worth adding to my list?

A Game Of Thrones by George R. R. Martin it is the first book in "A Song of Ice and Fire" series

Wizards First Rule by Terry Goodkind it is the first book in the "Sword of Truth" series

Both are excellent if you like fantasy.

James Patterson's Alex Cross series, I'm up to the 8th out of 9th (just came out)

The first book is Along Came a Spider then theres a bunc others including Jack and Jill, Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Four Blind Mice, and a bunch in betweem that I'm not remembering.

But they're amazingly good, get them!!

(Just pretend the appropriate things are underlined)

As a Star Wars fan, I feel the need to say that the New Jedi Order series of Star Wars books are an incredible series, and if you want to read them, start at Vector Prime and make sure to read them in order.

Mt three favorite books of all time are To Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee; 1984 by George Orwell; and The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. If you haven't read any of these books I highly recamend picking them up.

Philip K. Dick - the craziest sci-fi you will ever read
Ubik - stories of the afterlife
The Man in the High Castle - Alternate history
Game Players of Titan - psions, psions and more psions
Do Android's Dream of Electric Sheep? - what robots do in their spare time
The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch - why drugs are bad for you
(Ubik, Androids, Stigmata, as well as A Scanner Darkly are all featured in Counterfit Unrealities)
Selected Stories of Philip K. Dick - a complete collection of published short stories

Steve Perry - The Matador series (more sci-fi)
The 97th Step - book 1
The Man Who Never Missed - book 2 (Emile Khadaji is so bad assed)
Matadora - book 3
(theres like seven books in the series, those are just the ones that ive read so far)

Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maitenance - Robert M, Pirsig

I've read this probably 5 times now, and it hasnt gotten any worse. If you don't wanna think alot when you read, stay away.

I've also gotta mention the Sword of Truth series. I've read each book atleast twice.

War and Peace is a good read if you don't mind length. My fave book is still Dante's Inferno.

Last Unicorn. If you read for style, or just put your self emotionally into what you read, you WILL love it. Beagle does not waste a single sentence, he uses everything to build the mood he wants. I cannot recomend it enough.

I was going to recomend Snow Crash but its already on your list. Have you read any of Stephenson's other works?

Read Bernard Cornwell. Especially Archer's Tale and Vagabond

Villains by Necessity by Eve Forward is also great.

And a lot of Tom Clancy's stuff is good.
