My favorite book is "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." A recently read good book on my list is: Truth and Beauty by Anne Patchett. Anyone else got a recommendation?

Anything written directly by JRR Tolkien. :) The Simarrilion was actually laid down by his son, and something is missing. I reread the Hobbit even today. the LOTR was GREAT!

Smith of Wooton Major/Farmer Giles of Ham...excellent!

"Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams (and the rest of the "trilogy of 5" although the latter books weren't as good)
"Nineteen Eighty-Four" by George Orwell
All the Harry Potter books! :cool:

Ditto save Potter. I don't like them.

And Pride and Prejudice.

Right now I'm reading [url="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0060763957/qid=1094522124/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/103-4178328-6675015?v=glance&s=books&n=507846"]Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man[/url].

The title is not very charitable at all, but the book is really good.

I'd have to say my favorite is "Story of a Soul".

That's followed by "How Few Remain" and the Great War Trilogy by Harry Turtledove.

I read that book :cool: but very :ph34r:

Actually, my dad, who's a mountain climbing fanatic (he summited Aconcagua, highest mountain in the Americas, in '02) kind of made me read it.... :rolleyes: as well as memorize the differnt parts of mt Everest, mt McKinley, la Aconcagua, Kilimanjaro, you name it...yeah, my dad's strange. But it's cool, I summited the highest mountain in Mexico, pico Orizaba, when I was 11 :cool:


"Banner in the Sky" is also good

I almost read that but I read "My Everest Story." The kid trys to summit Everst and gets stuck on the 6th camp or something. It was intresting. It was basicly his journal of his climbs. Some sounded fun. LOL!
