Books

[Toc De Mac]

Seeing as we have a thread dedicated to discussing movies, I think one devoted to books is very à propos.

So, what books have you read, whether it be recently or ages ago, that you really enjoyed? What books are you currently digging into? What books do you plan on reading?

[Future Raptor Ace]

My favorites are
The Kite Runner, To Kill A Mocking Bird, Ordinary People, The Catcher In The Rye, and Kaffir Boy.

I just finished Lolita. Could be the strangest book I have ever read, great though. Those Russians can sure write a book...Very disturbing books that I would be concerned if you could think of such an odd story line.

Man Searching for Meaning.

[lefty12357]

Recently I've read:

Manhunt - about the search and capture of John Wilkes Booth
The Lonely Land - by Sigurd Olson
Grant and Sherman

I like hard SF. I particularly like Charles Sheffield's books. I'm an avid reader and I read a lot of non-fiction as well as fiction. I have a huge collection of books, there's just too many to name. There are certain books I will read over and over again.
