Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.

A book called "1945" it's a story about what would happen if japan hadn't surrendered in WW2. It's interesting and is mainly action packed. A good read for someone who doesn't like slow books. Ps if you do read it, skip the parts when it shows president Trumans point of view.

I am Legend. It's a quick book, but honestly one of the best I've ever read. The only other book that compares to it (IMHO) is Tolkien's The Hobbit.

Smugglers Blues : by Jay Carter Brown. Awesome book about smuggling pot and hash. Great book in my opinion plus it was written by a personal friend.

Unwind
Sci-Fi/Horror
Neal Shusterman
After a war about reproductive rights, a court reached the agreement that all life was viable from the point of conception to the point of natural death.

This means that the children are "technically" alive, but no longer exist as themselves. This book follows the stories of three different potential "unwinds" as they attempt to make sense of the world they live in, and how to avoid the operating table..... -

I enjoyed it a lot! It really got me thinking. I like books like that, the ones that are so disturbing and alien, that you have no choice but to think about them. I was hoping he would write a sequel💉Ꭰя💊Ꮪuηshιηε💉 wrote:

He had the koran and the Bible mixed up. Btw if you are a Christian, you follow Christ, and if you follow Christ, you agree with what he said, and if he told us to go out unto the world and preach, we should do that. I'm just doing it wirelessly😄Sgt Mayday wrote:

Gregor the Overlander

found this book when I realized she also wrote the hunger games. A story about a boy named gregor and his baby sister, boots who fall through a vent in their laundry room and end up in the underland. Their dad has been captured by rats in the underland, and they embark on a quest with the regalians, natives of the underland, to find his dad.. -

Lots of good books on here that I've read! I started a Pal group called TW bookworms. Join if you love reading!!
Here's mine:
Ender's Game
Sci-fi
A 6-year-old boy, Ender Wiggin, is sent to Battle School to fight the buggers, an alien race. He is the last hope for the human race, and as all odds are stacked against him, meets, if not exceeds, all expectations.
Currently my favoite book! -
Another:
The Last of the Jihad
Realistic fiction
Joel C. Rosenberg
This one is the most realistic book I've ever read, and reads like a Hollywood movie. It's about the war on terror in the future, and it going nuclear.P.S. Ender's Game is by Orson Scott Card.

Most of the books I thought of have already been suggested. However, I've only read 1 Tom Clancy book and inn hooked. I love reading books I'm interested in, as long as I don't need to answer questions on it. That just kills the enjoyment.

Donated over 6000 books to goodwill/salvation army over the last year (downsizing) and re-read the following favs as I ran across them: lucifers hammer, footfall, jumper series, and wildside. Genre is sci-fi with a bit of escapism thrown in. Authors are Pournelle and Gould if I recall. Excellent books that make you think.

1984
Animal farm

The art of war by sunzi
I thought Steve Jobs biography was exquisite, but I love auto-bios.
The Hobbit
Black Like Me

The Incarnations of Immortality series by Piers Anthony.
God, Death, Satan, Mother Nature, War, Time, and Fate are all jobs that humans have always filled to continue life as we know it. Very interesting spin on religions and mythology.
