1. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas -Hunter S. Thompson
2. 1984 -George Orwell

I just finished "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" by Jonathan Foer, and I thought it was excellent. His other book "Everything is Illuminated" is very good as well.
Those of you into war novels owe it to yourselves to read "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien. Definitely the best war novel ever written.
Also, recently I've been on a kick of old pulp detective novels. Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler are probably the most famous of the noir novelists, and two of my favorites as well.

1984 - what we will see soon here in america :'(

great expectations - amazingly difficult but makes you 10x of a better reader

The Zombie Survival guide OR world war Z - everyone needs to prepare for 2012... ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!!!!!!!

 

[mattdabatt]

the zombie survival guide was good if i read it... BUT my teacher made us write an essay about zombies for our 1st one of the year. So i hate it lol

The Great Gatsby
Fahrenheit 451
The DaVinci Code

Gatsby is a true/sad story about how good guys get shafted or die. Fahrenheit 451 is scarily prophetic (read Cptn Beatty's monologue about how censorship started, then look at our society).

The DaVinci Code is just a good book. Complete fiction, but still a great story.
