  • A New Earth and
    The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
  • Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

    I'm glad this one came up so early in the post. This is one of my all time faves. Light, REALLY funny, but very well written.
  • Flowers for Algernon.

    About an experiment, trying to make retards smarter. Really makes ya think.

    This. Such a moving story. It's been 5 years since I last read it and I still think about it at least once a week.

    It will make you happy, you'll have a nice little additional perspective on the world.

    Every teenager should read Go Ask Alice. Kept me away from drugs, that's for sure.

    SKinny *****.

    read it.
  • Jane Green..........Everything happens for a reason.
    Everyone I know who has read this can relate to the character.
    Also I can't remember the Author but Ice Bound is a great read and a true story.

    Wifey by Judy Blume. Read it when I was only 13 (still not sure how I came across it). Changed my life forever. You wonder why I am like I am. Takes you in on page 1.

    For serious sports fan read ESPN the Book. Unreal what has gone on behind the scenes behind this cable giant and the characters who have and still work there.

    Must read book of all time has to be the autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley. Classic and still relevant today no matter your race, color, creed, religion, etc. Read it.

    The Great Gatsby. It's still THE novel about the pursuit of the American dream. Gorgeous, lucid prose distilled into a short book.

    Has anyone read The Jason Bourne books? The movies are great, but just wanted to know if the books were good as well.


    I've read a few of the books and I liked them.

    "Incident At Hawks Hill", "To Kill A Mockingbird", "A Child Called It", "The Scarlet Letter", "A Day No Pigs Would Die", just to name a few.
  • Lord of the Rings. Definitely. My fiancé hates to read but he loves lord of the rings.

    He's recently really into the series "a song of ice and fire" which is also extremely good. This one has a ton of characters and it a little overwhelming the first couple chapters but it's totally worth it and ends up being easy to follow - I promise! It's also an HBO series that is very well done (and has lots of boobs if youre into that sort of thing haha)

    Edit: "game of thrones" which many people are suggesting is the first book of a song of ice and fire :)

    Terry Brooks also is a good author if you like this line. He has multiple books to the series.

    I'm with every one who mentioned a song of ice and fire (aka Game of Thrones) by George R.R. Martin. :love: love this series! Also Jim Butcher writes a series called the Dresden Files. Those are good too. Happy Reading!
