sweatdrop I'm very mainstream in my bookreading. I finished "The Testament" by John Grisham not too long ago. Then, because my roommate bugged me, I read "Hobbit" and now I'm working on "Fellowship of the Ring." (I know, I'm lame. I'm not geeky, I swear. crying )

I've read a few Robert A. Heinlein books.

Don't feel bad...I read The Hobbit for the first time in 4th or 5th grade. Then I read the Fellowship of the Rings trilogy. Then...throughout middle school I proceeded to read them all...three more times. And I read other stuff of his that went with it.
And I refuse to see the movies.
So if one of us is geeky...I have a feeling it's not you, Dathu. lol ^_^

I'm currently reading Habermas' essays on Adorno, Bloch, Walter Benjamin, Herbert Marcuse, Hannah Arendt and Scholem.
Really great people, they philosophically carved the 20. century, but few people even know they existed ^__^

After that, I think I'll give Rousseau's Social Contract a go.

Yup, and then it's back to fantasy.

Anyone have any suggestions for a good fantasy book? Something special, no series, just some damn good piece of fantasy please =D

In 7th grade a friend got me hooked on the Tortal books (Lioness Quartet, Daine's Quartet (wild mage), Protecter of the Small, and Tricksters Choice Duet, by Tamora Pierce. Shes an grand Fantasy writer.
I'm on the last book of the Tortal books, in which the stories of this fasenating land come to an end crying crying crying . The last book is Trickster's Queen and its so good! Its about Aly which is Alanna's Daughter (from the Lioness QUartet) and how shes trying to get the twice Royal girl to be queen. Very good. If you care to read any books of tortal start at the begining with Alanna .

I'm not going to list every book I've ever read in existence. Then I'd be here for the next century. However, I WILL list a few really good reads for different groups.

Neil Gaiman books-- he has a book for every one. i swear.

Tropic of Cancer, by Henry Miller-- very brutal, blunt, true to life, and otherwise rambling. beautifully written, and it expells close to then end in a great explosion... and then the rest is crap.

Cut-- a quick read on a girl who cuts herself, and doesn't talk while in treatment.

dante club-- a fun little murder mystery with the translators of dante's Inferno to english as our dectectives. beautifully written, and hard to put down.

Cry To Heaven, by Anne Rice-- one of her best non-vampire books, written about a beautiful venice castrato and his teacher, the descriptions and plot are both absolutely amazing.

Terry Prachet books-- funny books. very funny books. do not read while eating or drinking, or risk mass choking.

Hello Moonlight-- random facts for any and all insomniacs out there.

and done. hope you peoples actually read a few. and if you EVER need to know a book to read, just PM me. i'm a freaking library, practically. I mean it. You should see my house. anyway, yeah.
