Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson - the most amazing piece of fiction ever written IMO! It is part 1 of a planned 3 part trilogy - part 2 is supposedly out any day now...
The Stand - Stephen King Less than Zero - Brett Easton Ellis John Grisham - The Runaway Jury...suprisingly funny! Tom Wolfe - Bonfire of the Vanities.... Liar's Poker - Michael Lewis...non-fiction book about bond trading that reads more like fiction! Losing my Virginity - Richard Branson...the guys is a visionary in terms of coming up with new ideas.... |
Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger
On the Road - Jack Kerouac American Psycho - Bret Easton Ellis Women - Charles Bukowski Hollywood - Charles Bukowski I know someone is going to point out the obvious. |

Catch 22 was pretty decent
Jules Verne books were nice Wilbur Smith books are fun Lord of the rings was also good But I've red those like when I was 10-15. I'm also pretty fond of discworld series. I haven't had the time to read any good books lately. I did read Atkins new diet revolution a week ago or so, but can't really recommend that :) I wish I could find a good book that makes me think. Too bad I don't have time for books. :( |
