I read a lot. The past books I have read include 'the fuck up' by Arthur Nersesian, 'pygmy' by pahluniuk, 'no country for old men' by cormac mccarthy, 'invisible monsters' also by pahluniuk, 'the time machine' and 'war of the worlds' by HG Wells, plus whatever else shit for school, Othello..

I think I'm gunna pick up a copy of The Game by Niel Strauss, it sounds like an interesting book.

I've read every book by Pahluniuk.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy. It won the pulitzer in 2007 and it will make you so miserable. read it before the hollywood shit show that they are trying to pass off as an adaptation is released.

string theroy is the coolest thing ever, iven thought i only get .00001% of it

for good books, Band of Brothers is amasing much better than the show, same for the Lord of the Rings. Bode millers book is cool, its also a very easy read

A World Lit Only By Fire - William Manchester

It's an interesting historical text, so if history interests you, read it.  If it doesn't, don't even think about it.

The Stranger - Albert Camus

A very enlightening book.  It is an existentialist work, so many of you may think it is wrong, dry, boring, and depressing.  I like it, and think it is very inductive of thought.

The Ambler Warning - Robert Ludlum

If you like intriguing fiction with some violence (but not in the genre of "They killed him and he ran away") then this is a great book to read.  I'm almost done with it, and it's quite fascinating.
