<p>Harry Potter is scary. I went on a HP marathon reading the 5 books in about 2 days, and after I finished, I was like "RAWR! I must have the next book... NOW"
I went crazy and started to frequent harry potter forums online and reading fan fics, but than a day later I just said screw it and started playing Grand Theft Auto.</p>
<p>I just finished Bulgakov's Master and Margarita and really liked it. </p>
<p>I also highly reccomend any of Irwin Shaw's novels. I've read almost everything he's written. The Young Lions and Rich Man, Poor Man are particularly good.</p>
<p>Tom Wolfe's book, Charlotte Simmons, about Duke.</p>
<p>Fountainhead's awesome</p>
<p>The Remains of the Day by Ishiguro Kazuo</p>
<p>I second Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkein was a genius!</p>
<p>Tuesdays with Morrie - read it last night - awesome!!!!</p>
<p>I'm glad this thread was revived.</p>
<p>But I second(or third) America: The Book
I've made a nice list from this thread and I will read them... ALL. well at least some.</p>

1984 is a super good book, if you like it read Brave New World by aldous huxley and if you like that read any book by Vonnegut.

<p>I LOVED 1984! I read it in like a day, one of my favorite books to this day, even though I am not that into sci-fi. I read Brave New World and I didnt really like it, and I thought it was dragged out too long and it just wasnt as well written. Of course I was in eigth grade, and it was a hard to follow for me, so maybe I will come to appreciate it. I started to read Fahrenheit 451, about the first third of it, but never finished it....hmmm.....what i read was pretty good though lol</p>
<p>Time, Love, Memory : A Great Biologist and His Quest for the Origins of Behavior, by Jonathan Weiner</p>

<p>I loved reading those.</p>
<p>Just finished Tuesdays with Morrie - absolutely worth reading.</p>
<p>I'm extremely interested in "Catcher in the Rye" which is weird because it is talked about in "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" So it's basically peaked my interest heh.</p>
