I'm looking for new reading material. ^_^ What are some of the best books you've read? Or favorites, obviously. I'm up for reading pretty much anything under the sun.

If I were on a deserted island and could choose only one book in the entire history of the written word to have with me, it would be "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.

people say that catch-22 is a good one, though not for me.

?? Did you just recommend something you don't even like? That's like saying, "Lots of people love McDonald's, but it gives me diarrhea. You should try it."

People have different tastes you know!
Sometimes majority opinion overthrows just one persons.

Like.. I don't like Call of Duty but a bunch of other people do. I heard it's a good game?

Thanks for the suggestions. I've actually only read one book on here (brave new world), and I've tried to read Catch-22 and failed. :p

According to the demographics we're a bunch of 20 year old college educated neopet playing Asian nerds :p
It only makes sense that we like our books

Hobo took a bunch of good ones!

Brave New World would be my first suggestion...

Fahrenheit 451 is another great novel...

The giver.

Illustrated man was pretty cool...

If you're looking for non-fiction, Check out Be Here Now. It's amazing. :D


Hey, did you read the other books following the giver? If so how were they?
