I'm reading Thief Lord for like the 4th time in the row. It gets more and more interesting as I read it over and over.

yea i know, but I made a little list before.. a few pages back.. anyways I was just posting about this book, because I personally wouldn't read a book if I was attracted to it.. and well I was also told this book was pretty good, and not over done.. so thats always a good thing. Plus its a oldish book, with a old style of romance, which I really like. Good read? maybe.

sorry for the extra post but for an in depth history of Wallachia, and eastern Europe from the late 1400's as well as the man known as vald the implaer, I would suggest Vlad the Impaler, Its old, so your library probably has it.

Theres also a great book called the timtables of hsitory,

and for a fictionalized version of the space race get, Space by james Michener.

I've read Space.

I liked it but it was a little boring for me.

I also liked Texas and the Floating World by James Michener

I'll read Centannial, thanks for the suggestion

Crowe

Some easy reads.. links for reviews/summary.

The Ear, The Eye, and the Arm - Nancy Farmer

Redwall (and series) - Brian Jacques

Ender's Game (and an the subsequent series) - Orson Scott Card

Some not so easy reads...

Siddhartha - Hermann Hesse

The Stranger - Albert Camus


Candide - Voltaire

The Divine Comedy - Dante Alighieri This is where you will find the Inferno, the most famous of the 3 books. The other books are also excellent, so read the whole thing and not just the Inferno. This is also where you will find the famous quote

"Abandon all Hope, Ye who enter here" the most used translation...

My favorite Shakespeare (I'm one of the few, sad people I know who has read his complete works =/ )

The Tempest

Macbeth (where the Sound and Fury quote comes from)

As You Like It (my fav Shake comedy)

Really I would put more, but the more I think about it - the more exhausting it seems... some authors..

Hesse, Hemmingway, more Camus!, Tolstoy, Bradbury, ASIMOV (why haven't I seen him in the thread yet?) more Palahniuk, Tom Wolfe anyone? Please someone get some Vonnegut up here... Galapagos for the win. I'm tired. Any body a philosophy fan out there? Haven't seen any DesCartes, Rousseau, saw someone recommend Plato's Republic... that's not a fun read, imo. Interesting, but defintely not fun. Get Sartre's "No Exit" or Beckitt's "Waiting for Godot" these are plays, but freakin' awesome... UH, for a fun read someone grab some Neil Simon. Biloxi Blues GO.

Hell, if you want good Plato get something short... Allegory of the Cave is a fun read.
