    I enjoy fantasy novels the most. Favorite book would be the Crystal Shard Series by R.A. Salvatore. Drizzt Do Urden is probably one of the most famous fantasy characters ever. Also, enjoy the Belgariad by David Eddings.

    I don't read much but "Angels and Demons" and "Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown are on the top of my list and I'd suggest anyone who likes mysteries to read it.


    Besides for that, "The Good Earth" by Pearl S. Buck is also very good. It's about a China Farmer who marries a slave and becomes poor then prosper. Very good book, it will teach some of you guys not to waste good food.

    Popular one: Angels and Demon and Deception Points (they are easy reads)

    I like to read bibliography. It's always interesting to read about others lives. I also like to read classics. Pretty much the stuff your high school teacher forced you to read.

    Flowers for Algernon <---sorta sci-fi with human conditions
    Mice and Men

    I love reading sci-fi books too, but somehow none of them sticks in my mind like those two. 'cause, I think I can related to these books.
    Like Charly, I was a dumb-ass country boy, but wakeup a wiser boy. I see the world now in a somewhat different way than before. Unlike, Charly, I cant go back...arrrgg

    I just finished reading For One More Day by Mitch Albom, it was a good book, very touching, made me think back about all the times I snapped at my mother.

    Memoirs of a Geisha
    Harry Potter
    Angels & Demons
    The Heavenly Man

    and most of the classics you read in school: Great Gatsby, Catcher in the Rye, Great Expectations, etc.
