Green Eggs and Ham. I forget the author's name, but this book is a Must-Read!! Deep! Thought-provoking! If you read one book this summer season, make it Green Eggs and Ham!!

I'm currently reading Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Friere, The opposite of Fate by Amy Tan and The Color Purple by Alice Walker.

Sue, make sure you read the entire Vampire Chronicles by Rice, excellent series. Also, Servant of the Bones is another good one from Rice.

I never was into much reading when i was younger, but one day i picked up a Dean Koontz book called "Night Chills" at a 1/2 price book store in Dallas. Very good read. Since then i'm hooked.

So far i've read "The Fun House", "Night Chills", "From the Corner of his eye", "Fear Nothing", "The Vision" and "Intensity".

Some of his ideas get a little repetitive, but i still like his storytelling.

Also like Stephen Kings "Skeleton Crew" and Nightmares and Dreamscapes.
One of my fav short stories is "Suffer the little children". Pretty Creepy stuff. lol

I have read several Stephen King books. This is one that I would recommend Gerald's Game. Keeps you in suspense! Not that gory. Let me tell you every page keeps you guessing. ;)

Another Author I am thinking about getting into is James Patterson.

Stephen King Rocks. I like El Wron Hubbard too.

Read King's Insomnia.

The Big Book of Porn: A Penetrating Look at the World of Dirty Movies, by Seth Grahame-smith

Thats a classic, gotta love it.

[phishhead220]

my fav book i just finished up is Jack Kerouac's -On the road, a storyabout the beatnik generation of America as Kerouac goes around the country taking everything in. amazing writing

i'm also taking a class called the modern novel so i'm reading lots of stuff.

i've so far read James Joyces - dubliners, a bunch of short stories about life in Ireland, early 1900s i think.

and i today i read Hemingways - The Old man and the sea.

Speaking of the Civil War. I have a good friend who belongs to a Civil War Reanactment group. It is really cool what he does.

[nehemiah]

Kim Stanley Robinson: Mars Trilogy
Philip K Dick: all of his books
Kurt Vonnegut: all of his books (Cat's Cradle is the best)
Annie Dillard: all her books (especially Holy the Firm)

but the best is Donald Barthelme: everything he has ever written

[twosheds]

Richard Adams
Douglas Adams ("Last Chance to See" is one of his best, a bit overlooked unfortunately)
Oscar Wilde
Kurt Vonnegut (just started with Slapstick!)
etc...

Also biographies and scientific books.
