50 shades of grey... so scintillating!

...

just kiddinggg, i really liked "ghost world" and "looking for alaska". i used to like manga when i was younger, 'chobits' was a big favorite and so was 'monster' and 'full metal alchemist'.

more 'classic' books i like are 'of mice and men', 'catcher in the rye', 'the lottery', 'a good man is hard to find', 'jane eyre' (which is greatt), 'angelas ashes', 'wuthering heights', 'frankenstein', 'the scarlet letter' (a favourite ), 'the picture of dorian grey', 'great expectations' (the 30's movie is wow), and so much more i can't remember.

i also looooove the hunger games, catching fire, and mockingjay c:

Too hard of a question for me since I love reading. I can appreciate books for different reasons.

I like Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness just because of his mastery of writing. Especially considering he didn't learn English until his 20's. But his books are hard read for most people and won't keep people's attention unless they are patient.


Nietzsche Beyond Good and Evil for reasons others probably know on here.


Russka and Sarum from Edward Rutherford. Excellent historical fiction.


Man's Search for Meaning. Just an interesting read from the perspective of a Jewish psychiatrist in a concentration camp with coping mechanisms of an experience like that.

Hitler and the Power of Aesthetics - Explains Hitler's mindset and motivation in a relatively objective way.

Almost anything by Norman Mailer. He's twisted and brutal in his writing but it's pretty epic.


Almost anything by Kurt Vonnegut.


Dawkins - The Selfish Gene


I, Claudius (I like good historical fiction. The 2nd book was crap though.)


Too many to list and I can't narrow it down at all.

The moon palace - Paul Auster

Defoe's Robinson Crusoe is probably my favorite.

The first person to say "Mein Kampf" with sincerity gets a massive eyeroll from me.

I couldn't finish Mein Kampf. Just didn't hold my interest. If you're interested in WW2 though I suggest that book Hitler and the Power of Aesthetics. It explains his motivation in a way other WW2 books don't really touch on.
