the girl with a dragon tatoo.

eragon, even though its about dragons nd shit its still fuckin epic.

the ear the eye and the arm, a little older but a good read

the watchmen graphic novel is highly entertaining.

just go to the library and look at the recommended shelf, you'll somtimes be suprised at some of the stuff you find.

Jon Krakauer's books are all really good.

I'm reading Naked Economics by Charles Wheelan right now, and it's pretty interesting. It's for class, but its actually an enjoyable book.

Angels & Demons - Dan Brown
 it's epic. it's the prequel to The Da Vinci Code but i think its 10 times better. if you saw the movie its a lot different but also much better. i couldn't put it down

i beg to differ.

i get so into all of his books, but the ones with religious undertones really get old.

i think he thinks he's a little bit more "analytical" than he actually is. regardless, his books are the tits though!

A friend recommended this book to me. Its a great read, especially if you're interested in drugs and partying.  It gives you a new perspective.

good book by a good author.

also, learn about the Basque people a little bit, so you can be more appreciative of minorities you've never heard of???
