"America Anonymous" by Benoit Denizet-Lewis. It's a story about 8 addicts and their search for recovery written from the eyes of an addict that has come clean. It's very well written and I would highly recommend it to people who enjoy that sort of psychology.
Don't know if you've been recommended classic sci-fi yet but...
2001:A Space Odyssey by Issac C. Clarke
Neuromancer by William Gibson
Dune by Frank Herbert
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep By Phillip K. Dick
Ubik (also P.K.D)
Anything by Issac Asimov
Also Christopher Moore's books are pretty good and fairly funny even though there not really Sci-fi/fantasy. The writings kind of umm...pulpy tho.(I couldn't think word for felling as though the story was solid but the writing could be better)By far his best are "Fools", and "A Dirty Job".
Also Tim Dorsey is a great author if you like yourself some dark humor. But once again not Sci-Fi/Fantasy
Right now I'm reading the Dresden Files books. And they are good, but like Moore's books sometimes feel a little "pulpy"

Bloodcurdling Tales of Horro and the Macabre, a collection of stories by Lovecraft. I've just finished The Thing on the Doorstep and I'm about to start The Shadow Over Innsmouth. Truly frightening tales that the man wrote. Some of the best horror stories I've ever read.
I just took out "Return of the King" by Tolkien today, so I have 4 weeks before they won't let me keep the book anymore.
My favorite book has to be On The Road by Jack Kerouac. However I'm currently reading American Psycho.
Music Theory for Dummies. Yep. It's time signatures you see, I understand them yet am still getting to grips with figuring them out by ear alone. Plus after 9 years of playing guitar it's about time I tried picking up the theory.
Any Terry Pratchett fan is OK by me. I'm currently on The Truth. Also reading James Clavell's Shogun and Glen Cook's Chronicles of the Black Company.Ryokai said:
Doctor Who "The Story of Martha" its not that great, after that im looking forward to reading rhole darl's "The Great Glass Elevater" youre not too old until it starts getting boring
I am actually reading (or re-reading) three books at once. I'm re-reading A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin, The Scourge of God by S.M. Stirling, and Temple of the Winds by Terry Goodkind. All fantasy, and all very good, but I strongly recommend A Game of Thrones, what with it becoming a show and all.
I'm doing English Lit AS
