Watership Down by Richard Adams. I'm off to a slow start, but I know it'll progress nicely.

Thud! by Terry Pratchett. This guy writes funny books that still maintain a good story.

I've always had a fascination with Atlas Shrugged, and have wanted to read it for nigh on 2 years now, if only for the sole purpose of having at least some insight into Rand's theories and ideals. Sadly, I've no idea where I would go about finding a copy.

OT: I'm currently alternating between a paperback copy of Paradise Lost I found in a used book store, and Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut, which I've borrowed from a friend. Every once in a while, however, I will search an online treasury and read one or two of Lovecraft's works.

On another note, I've been seriously considering trying to find a copy of Let's Go Play at the Adams', written by one Mendal W. Johnson, which is apparently a novel that alternates between fetishistic BDSM pornography, a startling philosophy of man, and an interesting insight into child psychology. The only things that have really put me off about trying to buy it, are the sheer difficulty of finding the book in the first place (the novel only printed once, something that wasn't hard to predict as, allegedly, a large number of the people who read the novel were so distraught that they physically destroyed their copy), and the fact that I share a paypal account. I can imagine it being somewhat awkward trying to explain why I'd purchased what initially appears to be nothing more than bondage fiction.

I'm currently reading Corsair by Richard Baker, and its pretty good, I mean it is the second book in the series so I kind of knew what to expect with it.

"The Gulag Archipelago", by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. It's strange to be nostalgic for a monarchy or, during the Nineties, the very Soviet Union he lambasted. Nevertheless, Alex is heartfelt and comprehensive, always being able to connect to both sympathetic and empathetic ideas.
May I suggest: "The Long Walk" by Slavomir Rawicz.

Just finished Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky and just started One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Loved/loving both of them.
People who liked Dostoevsky often also liked: "The Man Who Was Thursday" by G. K. Chesterton.

OT: Currently reading "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" ("Man som hatar kvinnor"). Only got to about chapter 6 so far but it seems really tedious and lifeless compared to the movie.

Currently, I'm having my mind blown by "Atlas Shrugged", by Ayn Rand. Seriously, that book is deep!
I'm loving Ayn Rands' work. Currently in the middle of 'The Fountainhead'.

Depending on my mood I'm also currently juggling 'For Us The Living' by Robert Heinlien and 'Evolution' by Stephen Baxter.

I have read the Dawn of War books as well they are good.
Dawn of War follows the first game to the letter
Ascension Some what takes place along side Winter Assault, what the Blood Ravens are doing at the time
Tempest Is afterwards and doesn't follow any of the games

Currently reading Graham McNeill's The Chapter's Due, some good stuff

I'm reading One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest and Let The Right One In, but I haven't read for a while, since I'm doing work experience.
I've had to get up at 6:30 in the morning for two weeks, so no time for a late night read.

Reading the Book of the Long Sun tetralogy by Gene Wolfe (still on the first book) and so far it's absolutely amazing. Any fan of sci-fi should read it.
