"Silmarillion, by JRR Tolkein, the story of Beren and Luthein remains my favorite love-story of all time.... but, if you're even a little bit into the whole middle earth mythos, this is a must read...." - Wahi

that book is soooo hard to read, the stupid names are unpronouncable. I didn't even get any part of the plot because too much of my attention went to trying to read the names of the characters, until I finally gave up.

If you like medical suspence books, chromosome 6 is a pretty good read

If you havent covered it in school, Catcher in the rye. Fantastic novel.

Also, try out some Hunter S thompson out for size. I'd start on hell's angels. Fear and Loathing might give you a very slanted opinion of what you think he's all about.

On a Pale Horse was written by Piers Anthony, it's the first book of The Incarnations of Immortality series, this is the best one, second best is Book 6: For The Love of Evil.

- The Dark Tower (series) by Stephen King, because I can't honestly find one thing I don't like about the books.
- Snow Garden by Christopher Rice, you think "Okay, it's a book written by Anne Rice's son. It's gonna be all half assed poetic or something." It wasn't and that amazed, it was really good.
- The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, I'm probably the worlds biggest 8 year old for admitting that, but I love it.

World War Z: "How do you fight something like?"

"World War Z" and "The Zombie Survival Guide" by Max Brooks. I'm looking forward to the recorded attacks graphic novel coming out soon, also. And the WWZ movie.

"The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. Looking forward to the movie with Viggo Mortenson.

"1984" by George Orwell. I need to re-read it, because it was my freshmen year in High School.

"The Book of Five Rings" by Miyamoto Musashi.

"American Gods" by Neil Gaiman, my favorite of his works, including Sandman. It would make an amazing graphic novel.

"The Tao of Jeet Kune Do" by Bruce Lee.

Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman was fabulous. World War Z is also a great read.
I actually (blasphemy) like Anansi Boys more than American Gods, it's snappier and alot more fun.

Yeah, I was thinking about picking up a copy after finishing "Book of Five Rings" and the Yagyu book, but I couldn't decide which version to pick up, haha.

I haven't found a copy of Anansi Boys, is it very much like American Gods?

The Bourne Trilogy. I read them on holiday and fell in love with it. The books were miles better than the film, which only kept Marie, Treadstone, Bourne/Webb and Conklin. The rest was made up, and made the film crap in comparison.

The Dark Tower series (7 books) by Stephen King - starts a little poorly as he wrote the first book, The Gunslinger, when he was 19, but from then on it is definitely my favourite literary series.
