If you are into non-fiction, I'm a huge Hunter S. Thompson fan. I must recommend.

I'm sure you've already read it, but my favorite book

ya i forgot about hunter i think im gonna order hell's angels tomorrow. monte cristo movie was sick i might check the book out. candide sounds a little too advanced for me. i think i'd enjoy catch-22 and confederacy, which stranger are you talkin about (which author)?

im going to bed now. ill be ordering a bunch of books tomorrow so leave some more suggestions and a quick description of what the book's about would be sick too thx.

Anything by George Pelecanos(one of the writers for The Wire). Ive read all his books and you pretty much can't go wrong. If you've seen the TV show, a few of the books are very similar.

Lee Childs' Jack Reacher series. i just started reading them and plowed through almost 3 of them in a month. I usually only read like 3 books a year.

It's 2070, forty years since a devastating alien invasion was barely turned back, and the world is desperately searching for soldiers to lead them to victory when the "Buggers" come again. That's why they're drafting young children who pass a rigorous screening, and sending the best of them to the orbiting Battle School, where they are trained from childhood to be ready for war in the vertiginous reaches of space.
Into the unending pressure of military training comes six-year-old Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, who struggles to keep his humanity even as the adult teachers, rivals among his fellow students, and the strange unseen influence of the alien invaders all threaten either to destroy him or to make him into someone he can't bear to be.
His genius raises him to the top of the intensely competitive games in the Battle Room, an immense null-gravity chamber where armies of youngsters engage in mock combat. But his real struggles are off the playing field - with a dangerous older boy named Bonzo Madrid who is determined that both he and Ender cannot survive in this place; with his teacher, Mazer Rackham, who won the last war on a fluke and now is trying to prepare Ender to win the next one by skill rather than luck; and with himself, as Ender wrestles with his own demons, desperate to remain a decent human being even as he sees himself being transformed into exactly the same kind of monster as the buggers themselves.

--Only book I've ever read 3+ times.

A Confederacy of Dunces is also very good.

One day someone's actually going to read a book that I recommend.

Books are for burning. I'm sorry but I'm going to have to report everyone in this thread. Expect a firetruck at your house shortly.
