Anyone read any good books lately? Or have some favorites they would like to share or talk about. Sorry if a thread like this has already been opened.

Hmmmm....
None that I've read recently....

Star Wars! :D

Also, the Game of Thrones series and Orson Scott Card's books are quite epic.

Also also, Children of Hurin is probably my favorite book in the Lord of the Rings world.

A Tale of Two Cities - Charles Dickens
Crime and Punishment - F. Dostoevsky
Illiad/Odyssey - Homer (make sure you get a good translation though)

The Hunt For Red October & 1984

The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene is pretty good. I have probably already recommended that.

Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut

I can second this. Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku is also a really good sciency,nerdy book.

Doll House - It is actually a play. It'll take you like an hour to read, maybe.
Comedy of Errors - another play. Probably one of the punniest plays ever.
A loaf of bread - A short story. My favorite short story.
East of Eden - There is a reason this is the favorite of so many people.
Legends of the Jews (louis ginzberg) - Awesome and weird stuff. I can't fully back this one because I am not finished with it.

I second this. Also, Candide by Voltaire.

Foundation by Isaac Asimov
The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien (standard nerd stuff...)
Lord of the Flies by ...what was his name again?
The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer
Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond
but although it may sound enticing and nerdy, do NOT read Star Trek: The Next Generation/X-Men: Planet X

Try the series "Wheel of time" by Robert Jordan. it's VERY good and will keep you busy for a while. (It's currently 13 books long with a few more to go. And each book is about 400 - 500 pages.) Don't judge theses books by their covers.

"The wheel of time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become Legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose on the great plain called the Caralain Grass. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning."

I love Wheel of Time. I have to say though, that reading them is better the second time around. And though the pace seems to languish through parts it really picks up towards the end of each book and it goes and gets itself in a damn hurry in the 12th.

Towers of Midnight November 2

Me, my mom, and a friend are going to that. Were dressing as Aiel. (Mom a Wise one, Kayla as a Maiden of the Spear. They're making me gai'shain.)

Hyperspace by Michio Kaku

Hyperspace by Michio Kaku

How about the Ender's Game/Shadow series.

Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift
The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins
Anything by Michael Crighton.

Hmmm, here are some easy ones off the top of my head:

The Engineer Trilogy by K.J. Parker
Just about anything by Terry Pratchett
Anthem by Ayn Rand
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony(?) Burgess
The Contortionist's Handbook by Craig Clevenger

Look up the book, First you build a cloud.
I really enjoyed it.

John Dies at the End by David Wong
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
Phantoms in the Brain by V.S. Ramachandran
Choke and most other books by Chuck Palahniuk
The Road To Reality by Roger Penrose
Sum by David Eagleman

I work at a bookstore.

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" By Douglas Adams

Very good book.

I'm in the middle of House of Leaves right now. The way it's written just keeps me flipping pages, both backward as well as forward. It's very good, so far.
