The Ice-man True Story of a Cold Blooded Killer
Non-Fiction
It's all about a contract killer for the mafia. His name was Richard Kuklinski. It's really gory and details of his murders he committed. It goes throughout his whole life until he was put on death row. It's gruesome but a thrilling read. -

Enders Game was just great!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! -
I cannot recommend this highly enough; The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell.
Either the book or the PBS series of interviews with Bill Moyers. Both truly fantastic.

Pournelle and Niven.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.
The Mote in God's Eye is also good.
Earthman discover aliens with a population problem. -
Singularity Sky
Charles Stross
Science Fiction (not YA)
Some strange things happen when a planet encounters The Festival, a trans human singularity. -
Cryptonomicon
Neal stephenson
literature (not YA)
Anything by Stephenson is good but this is my favorite. It jumps between WWII and present. Lots of action, Cryptography, treasure hunting, techies, even a love story or two thrown in. -

The Art of War was written by Sun Tzu.The art of war by sunzi
I thought Steve Jobs biography was exquisite, but I love auto-bios.
The Hobbit
Black Like Me
If you are into that sort of thing, try Machiavelli as well.
Sun Tzu is also known as Sunzi, and I have "The Prince" as well, I just haven't finished it.
Pretty much any dostoyevsky book is amazing as well.

Never saw that before (Sunzi), though I just now found a third name on the web as well; Sun Wu.

👍👍👍👍👍loved these!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.
