I did not tell half of what I saw, for I knew I would not be believed.

Ok, so, I want to get some books to read. I'm not sure which ones, though. For nonfiction, I'm interested in: Psychology, Philosophy, Programming, Anti-Religious studies, Ethical studies, Worthwhile Biographies, and I'm open for suggestions. For Fiction, I want: Cyberpunk, Dystopian-esque, Poetry, anything that takes serious thought, and I'm open for suggestions. No manga, no comics. Plain books. So far on my list: Nonfiction: Underground - Suelette Dreyfus and Julian Assange The Best of 2600 book - Emmanuel Goldstein A Biography of Hitler (apparently any one of them will do) Fiction: The Fountainhead - Ayn Rand Anthem - Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand We The Living - Ayn Rand Like We Care - Tom Matthews 1984 - George Orwell Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card Burned - Ellen Hopkins His Dark Materials Trilogy - Phillip Pullman The Shadow Children - Margret Peterson Haddix Brave New World - Aldous Huxley Cat's Cradle - Kurt Vonnegut The Stranger - Albert Camus On A Winter's Night A Traveler - Italo Calvino How To Travel With A Salmon - Umberto Eco Slaughterhouse Five - Kurt Vonnegut Edited by Gwen, Jul 8 2009, 03:00 PM.

Ooooooh... I want to read 1984 too. :3 I read part of Ender's Game, but I never finished it. The last part of the book wasn't that appealing to me. However, take into consideration I was, like, 12 when I tried it. I think I should try it again. A book I can recommend is Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. Great book.

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky... incredibly interesting story that has you take a look into the mind of a murderer and the effect his crimes have on his psyche... It's too bad Steinbeck doesn't seem to fit into your likes. Edited by Mephisto, Jul 9 2009, 09:02 PM.

Try Angels & Demons. Much better than the movie. |
