| | | You wouldn't want to see my list. I probably couldn't list all of them or even remember all of them. When I was in school, I read what the require lists were and often would go back to the teacher and ask for more. I still read a lot. Usually I have 3 or 4 books going at once. Right now, rereading some Hunter Thompson (Hell's Angels, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, among others...The Rum Diaries) and looking for a copy of Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail from 1972. Some that come to mind... Watership Down The Stand The Dark Tower (all 7 books) Atlas Shrugged Hitchhiker's Guide (Also the others) Christopher Paolini's books (Eragon, Brisingr, Eldest) Waded through War and Peace once, vowing never to do it again. On The Beach A Canticle for Leibowitz Make Room, Make Room (Soylent Green was based on this book) Ender's Game (The whole series) The Road Right now...The Living Dead, edited by John Joseph Adams.\ Shael

| I wanna give war and peace a try as well. But I won't try that until I can get through Foucault's Pendulum. Eco is a great writer, but most of his references go straight over my head. Didn't know that Soylent green was based off a book. I have the movie coming in the mail as we speak. From what I hear of Ender's Game, I think you'd like both Foulcaults Pendulum, and Bordertown. http://en.wikipedi..._Borderland_Series

| | | So, I haven't replied to this because it seemed like such a daunting task. Here are a few that I've read, though, that stand out (you should know that I read a LOT of Young Adult books, because I'm a writer, and that's what I write): Uglies trilogy by Scott Westerfeld Bloody Jack series by LA Meyer Twilight by Stephenie Meyer (don't hate me...I thought they were pretty good) Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis (several times) Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien Hell's Prisoner by Christopher Parnell (I haven't QUITE finished this yet...I'm on the last like twenty pages. But I can tell you I'm going to.) Timeline by Michael Chrichton Catch Me If You Can by Frank Abignale (Excellent, EXCELLENT book for infiltration ideas and techniques. This guy was a freaking genius.) Bringing Down the House by Ben Mizrich Self-Made Man by Norah Vincent Redwall series by Brian Jacques Castaways of the Flying Dutchman series by Brian Jacques Of Mice and Men John Steinbeck Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie Go Ask Alice by Anonymous Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine Ever by Gail Carson Levine Okay, that's all I can come up with right now. I know there are more, but I'm tired and it's late, so that's all you get.
