20 or so books to read.

Hitchhiker's Guide is a great book-series to read although I wouldn't blame you if you stopped around 4 or 5, they just get weirder and less funny than the others, at least for me.

Agreed, the series does lose some of it's comedic strength as it goes on.

Anyone read the new book "And Another Thing..."? Apparently it came out last year.
 
Fahrenheit 451, World War Z, Monster island, Monster Nation, Monster Planet, Marley and Me, Warcraft: rise of the horde (yeah, you'll like it)

Still need to get around to reading Fahrenheit 451. I'm like half-way through World War Z...and I've been at that point for 3 months. But I'm good right now on my zombie and depressing dog related story books. I'm avoiding any Warcraft or Starcraft books, just because.

Or any of Tim O Brien's books?

I read the first Godfather book a while back and was pretty disappointed. I've never read Tim O Brien.
 
The Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson. Consists of "The Mistborn", "The well of Ascension" and "The hero of Ages". This trilogy has got to be one of the best of all time. I read 400 pages at a time with these books
 
Another good book I heard is a good read is "Starship Trooper"

From what I'm told its nothing like the movie and Robert A. Heinlein (Author) would of been rolling over in his grave if he saw what Hollywood did to his book.

The only Heinlein I've read was half of Job: A Comedy of Justice, which is actually a pretty funny read.

From what I've heard is that Starship Troopers is a book the champions some pretty fascist principles. Paul Verhoeven and Edward Neumeier wrote the movie to basically parody the tone of the book.

Ya I hear it can be fascist but was told its still a great read. Another note would be its more a psychological book then action like it was in the movie.
