Those are a few that I've read multiple times.

I liked The Stranger for some reason I can't quite put my finger on, but I don't like those books because I never feel that I walk away from it with the everything I can gain from it.

That's what's so great about art - whether its a drawing, a song, a poem, a book...there is always something else to be gained.  As long as you are looking for something else you will have that feeling.  It may come as an excerpt from a story that you never really thought about, or a profound lyric in a song...the thirst for knowledge is never quenched, and each drink is amazing.

Best read for me has, and will always remain

Enders Game

Those that have read it will understand, those tha thaven't should read it.


One of my other favorite reads those was "The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy" (all the books mind you)  Truly, truly a volume of human understanding of themselves and the universe

I preferred the shadow series tbh.

Anything by Tom Clancy, or the Redwall series.

Oh, and lots of Philip Pullman, Terry Pratchet and Douglas Adams

Someone say my name?

I love Douglass Adams books, he's just to funny

And you have John Irwins books. He's writing good with a hint of dark humor and meaning.

Hmm.  I read it, thought it was a good book, but not really one of my favorites.

My favorites: The Lord of the Flies, 1984, Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451.  Yeah English 2 was a good year.

If you haven't read The Odyssey, it's better than Ulysses (although the stories are quite similar and it's just another Greek/Roman potato/tomato).
