Angels and Demons
Davinci Code

Both of them are page turners and once you start, you won't stop till finishing. Easy reads and very thrilling and entertaining.

[jamesoneil]

I also like Young Dumb and Full of *** but i am not sure if books from that genre count as real books.

Fooled By Randomness - Taleb, non-fiction
Fight Club - Book is even better than the flick
Altered Carbon - Richard Morgan, IMO best current sci-fi/fantasy author

Have you read Monkey Business by Rolfe and Troob? Anyone who dug Liar's Poker would dig this too.

I like alot of different categories: Currently reading "Everyone Loves You When You're Dead" by Neil Strauss {which is type of book you will have hard time putting down**.

I Just wish there were more good handicapping books, that actually reveal something useful.

I'll read just about anything. Give me some suggestions. I just picked up "In 50 years we'll all be chicks" by Adam Carolla at my local library today. It's pretty amusing so far. So... what's your favorite book? And why?

Top Three without a doubt for me are:
The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
Siddhartha by Herman Hesse
The Plague By Camus

btw Who is John Galt? hehehe... best (ok and only) Ayn Rand book i managed to read

and of course there's nothing like reading my daily Sports blog...Week 12 NFL Betting Recap & Scores with Geno

[excel]

I could tell you but then we would have to kill you.

[JohnGalt2341]

btw Who is John Galt? hehehe... best (ok and only) Ayn Rand book i managed to read

I highly recommend reading Anthem by Ayn Rand as well. It's just over 100 pages and was written in the late 1930's. It sort of has a similar theme as the books 1984, Fahrenheit 451, and The Giver(all great books btw). I always recommend people read Anthem before they take on the much larger books by Rand like The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged.

Anything by Dan Brown
Gomorra - Roberto Saviano
Primal Fear - William Diehl


I have one of his books at home (The Footprints of God), never got around to reading it yet. Was about to start Men Who Hate Women from Stieg Larsson's Millenium series, but might give this one a go first.

yea if you could, read the spandau phoenix and black cross. it takes place during nazi germany but you will not want to put it down. makes you go and look up facts afterwards since it's so interesting. after you read those, you will want to read his other books which are pretty good also...

I really enjoyed A Prayer for Owen Meany. I also recently re-read Catch 22 which should be mandatory reading for everyone, IMHO.

I love the Long Walk! I've always sort of wanted them to make it into a movie. I think it could be really good if done right.
