<p>Any good books out there? Maybe you can recommend them to anyone else here.</p>
<p>I'm currently reading Rich Dad Poor Dad. It's a truly motivational and inspirational book. It teaches me a life lesson which I'm sure not many other books teach.</p>
<p>A Fine Balance
It’s such a good book, it’s a must read!:)</p>
<p>The Road by Cormac Mc Carthy
Sophie’s World by Jostein Gaardner(if you really are interested in philosophy)</p>
<p>I love the book Catch-22 …</p>
<p>^The Road is a good book too - I wonder when the movie is gonna come out…</p>
<p>Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says About Us)
Awesome books about how driving is dangerous.</p>
<p>Freakonomics: how useful econ really is.</p>
<p>Outliers</p>
<p>The post-American World</p>
<p>Hey there,</p>
<p>I am currently a student at UC Berkeley and I recently wrote and published a book called 100 Lessons That I Learned In College. Each page has a hilarious lesson that I learned in college that might help you out when you get there. You can order a copy of the book at:</p>

<p>Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal</p>

<p>@christinaface:
that’s cool!! congrats on being published too</p>
<p>The Lost Symbol</p>
<p>duH!</p>
<p>The Canon by Angier. I think the first chapter on the true nature of scientific inquiry made me have a nerdorgasm. =D But seriously, it’s great fun.</p>
<p>Last 2 books I’ve read/reading:</p>
<p>Never Let Me Go- Kazuo Ishigiri
The Known World- Edward Jones</p>
<p>Both excellent, though very subtle…</p>
<p>Yes, Catch-22 is excellent. I’m planning on reading the Road and Watchmen after I’m done with the Known World.</p>
<p>Also, I don’t get why everybody loves Dan Brown</p>
<p>Seriously though, read A Fine Balance:> It’s very good!</p>
<p>I really loved The Kite Runner</p>
<p>I thought that Catch 22 was way too convoluted to be appreciated for anything more than it’s remarkable use of language (which really is remarkable when you analyze it) and occasional dark and ironic humor. You need to either have extreme mental stamina or read it in sections, with plenty of time for rest.</p>
<p>Anyway, if you’re into the cooler side of physics (quantum theory and astrophysics), read “The Fabric of the Cosmos” by Brian Greene.</p>
<p>^ I dunno, I read it in 5th grade (perhaps a bit early, given the content) and thought it was fine. Probably missed a bit of the language though…</p>
<p>I should reread it soon.</p>
<p>I’m currently reading The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand for that essay contest the ARI has. It’s kind of addictive so far, but I’ve always liked her writing style.</p>
<p>The last thing I read before that, though, was The Gun Seller by Hugh Laurie (yep, Dr. House himself). It was pretty funny and entertaining, though I actually think it’s one of the rare cases where it would be better as a movie. I had a hard time keeping up with characters without being able to see faces. I recommend it, though.</p>
<p>^O wow, he wrote a book? haha
Very cool:) I’m reading 1984 right now and to be honest, it’s not as great as I thought it was going to be. I feel Fahrenheit 451 is better, but I’m only on page 200 in 1984 so I guess it might get better.</p>
