<p>Telling you, torrent or buy some Marvel/DC comics. you’ll enjoy them</p>
<p>I just ordered the screenplay for (500) Days of Summer off of Amazon. I am really excited to read it sense the movie is a cinematic piece of genius. </p>
<p>Try reading light stuff first and then go into the heavier stuff. David Sedaris is a great suggestion.</p>
<p>If I were able to read only one book this summer, I would read Catch-22 again.</p>
<p>Well I have no life, basically i have summer school and work. But in free time, currently I’m reading the Flying Dutchman by Brian Jacques who wrote one of my favorite series in Redwall. Next I think I’ll read Forrest Gump, the novel and see the difference in novel and movies.</p>

<p>wow there are some great books that I’ve heard about but have never read (don’t worry, I’ve read LOTR and Harry Potter at least haha).</p>
<p>I just downloaded “On The Road” on my iPod since I commute an hour to my community college every day. Other books that sound good include Ender’s Game and Catch-22 so I’ll look for that at my library tomorrow!</p>
<p>does anyone know of any funny books/authors? because that’s the only kind of book I actually bother to read. Anyone have insight on books by Tom Robbins?</p>
<p>Art of War by Sun Tzu</p>
<p>Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs is a satirical take on American culture. I really enjoyed it.</p>
<p>I’m embarrassed to admit that I still read Artemis Fowl and am incredibly excited for the new book in August.</p>
<p>I just got done The Predator State by James Galbraith, and I’m working on The Conscience of a Liberal by Paul Krugman. Hopefully I’ll get a few Chomsky books in as well, so that’s what I’m reading. Might reread The Republic as well.</p>
<p>Why not read Capitalism and Freedom by Friedman or The Road to Serfdom by Hayek for some <em>real</em> economists’ insights?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>libertarianism/conservatism: pretending that economists who don’t agree with their philosophy are un<em>real</em>—i.e. don’t exist—in order to avoid having to actually deal with their arguments.</p>

<p>If you’re up for classics then collegeboard has a list of 101 classics which is pretty comprehensive. Note to the wise, some of them can be a bit of a hard slog to get through.
But maybe thats just my severe dislike of Herman Melville talking :)</p>
<p>[great</a> books - book search, top 100 books](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>Stay Motivated – BigFuture | College Board)</p>
<p>I read Freakonomics one summer, best book about “economics” that I’ve ever read. I really recommend it.</p>
<p>If you don’t mind young adult literature, I’d recommend “Hunger Games” - it’s part of a trilogy and it’s amazing!!! I had to read it for a class. Loved it!</p>
<p>If you’re looking for fiction, I’d recommend the Book Thief by Marcus Zusak or Solar by Ian McEwan - just finished it and it was great.</p>
<p>^ The Book Thief is one of the best books I’ve ever read. I loved the writing.</p>
<p>Another good one is Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell</p>
<p>Does anyone know of really good fiction sports books, doesn’t have to be professional, could be a teen drama kind of sports book, anything. Also, is there such fiction books about greek life in college? Like rival fraternities or something, or like the tv show “Greek” lol, I know, awkward genre of books but yeah.</p>
