No, I don't really give a shit.

Has anyone read a good book lately? I'm in need of some solid suggestions.

I like me some Kurt Vonnegut. I would suggest him if you're into sci-fi.

Also, I'm going to read every book recommended if it takes me the rest of my life. Except for Of Mice and Men because that book sucked. No offense.

As far as standard school books go, A Long Way Gone? Also that book on Hemingway is likely a good read.

It's non-fiction, but Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee is a fantastic book, all Americans should know the story of the native Americans.

Are you kidding me? Maybe the story is ok at best, but there is no reason to draw it out 200+ pgs.

Reading a book right now called "the passage" pretty goof so far, if you like crazing medical experiments, I would recommend it

This. Also, while you're reading McCarthy, No Country For Old Men is amazing as well.
