1984, Invisible Man, Fahrenheit 451, The Great Gatsby, Fifth Business, Brave New World

From a less snobby literature-ish perspective: The "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, any Discworld novel, Ender's Game, Dune

If you're looking for weird as fuck Sci-Fi he's great. I've probably read 6 or 7 of his books and each one has had me hooked.

Picked up "The Perennial Philosophy" by Aldous Huxley yesterday. Only got a chance to read the first chapter, but I am liking it a lot so far.

Also picked up "The Bhagavad Gita" since I'm a Philosophy/Religious Studies major and I figured I should probably own a copy of it.

RG93 · « **Reply #864 on:** October 10, 2010, 07:34:06 AM »

Just finished Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. I'd give it a 3/5 (I've read better)

Next up, "The Elegant Universe - Brian Greene"

Currently reading through Thirteen by Richard Morgan. Good sci-fi is good.

Also rereading through my copies of Neil Gaiman's Sandman. I'm on Volume 3 right now.

You'll probably all laugh at me but I've been into the 'Anne of Green Gables' series for a little while now. I just started the fourth book, there's 8 or 9 or them all together. And then there's the additional "Chronicles of Avonlea" and I'm sure I'll wind up reading all of those, too.

PlaysLikeMyung · « **Reply #870 on:** October 11, 2010, 07:15:09 PM »

I reread the HP series over the past week. I'm done now...

I think I'll reread my Death Gate Cycle books now to occupy me until the 19th
