<p>"Everyone should read Slaughterhouse Five. It's amazing."</p>
<p>That is a great book. You should probably check out Catch 22.</p>
<p>Currently I'm reading Scar Tissue which is the autobiography of Anthony Kiedis, the lead singer of the Red Hot Chilly Peppers. It's a very good, interesting read.</p>
<p>finished "The Kite Runner" and read "Mapp & Lucia" (by E.F Benson - anyone read this before?). Starting Plato's "Republic".</p>
<p>Pushing on the classics....</p>
<p>I'm reading One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Pronouncing the author's name in a weird Spanish accent is pretty fun. :)</p>
<p>I'm reading a few right now...</p>
<p>"A Long Way Down" by Nick Hornby (just finished, actually)
"On Beauty" by Zadie Smith
"The Rebel Sell" by Potter & Heath (non-fiction! yay!)</p>
<p>And yes, I'm rereading Harry Potter before #7 comes out, because I'm that cool even though I've read them all a million times... currently halfway through #5. Oh, but it is nice to read something light after work, which for me involves lots of heavy reading for my legal research project.</p>
<p>Edit: If you want classics and like Shakespeare... read Hamlet (if you haven't already), and then read Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. It's great. Pride and Prejudice is also a great favorite (and not just because of Colin Firth, haha, the book is good too), as is Catcher in the Rye. Required reading, imo.</p>

<p>Agree. I am finding M. Shelley's Frankenstein quite entertaining.</p>
<p>i just finished kiterunner too, it was soo sad =(</p>
<p>and yech i hated shelleys frankenstein!</p>
<p>Working on Slaughterhouse-Five and some stuff on Roman history</p>
<p>Fiasco by Thomas Ricks. and i thought my opinion of the administration could not go lower. wow.</p>
<p>One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest</p>
<p>I read that book this past year. I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't procrastinated and had to rush through it. Tells a pretty good story, though.</p>
<p>Me, I'm not reading a single intellectual book right now. I slaved the whole year away and I'm treating myself to chick lit. Historical romances are my favorite. I'm also re-reading all the Harry Potter books in prep for the new one in July. So pretty much nothing but mindless reading for me.</p>
<p>crime and punishment, and when I get tired of that I go back to re-reading slaughterhouse 5. that vonnegut really knew his stuff!</p>
<p>An American Tragedy (Theodore Dreiser) was one of the best books I've ever read.</p>
<p>Also, I enjoyed The Awakening</p>
<p>Tight now I'm reading Brave New World by Huxley. So far I love it.</p>
<p>Last week I read Lolita. It was amazing, and I highly recommend it-- it's very dark but if you can get past that it's really, really beautiful.</p>
<p>Anyone who likes Vonnegut should read Sirens of Titan. Excellent Book.</p>
<p>The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama</p>
<p>LiveInLove115: I loved Lolita too! It's extremely well written.</p>
<p>Vonnegut.</p>
<p>So good.</p>
<p>A Clash of Swords by George RR Martin.. Great book</p>
<p>anyone read alice's adventures in wonderland? is it a book that kids our age (high school/college) can still enjoy?</p>
