First off, I'm not sure whether this should have gone into media/arts, but I thought it wouldn't get looked at in there. so...

I recently overshot a booter by about 30 feet with some speed straight to flat and ended up fracturing my pelvis in 4 places. So needless to say I'm gonna have a lot of downtime for the next 6 weeks and I was looking into getting a new book. I'm just not sure what to get cause there are so many options.

Books I've read recently include Fear and Loathing in LV, V for Vendetta, Scar Tissue (Anthony Keidis biography), Watchmen, On the Road, Marley and Me (about Bob Marley, not the dog), and Life (Keith Richards) to name a few.

I'm not necessarily looking for another biography type book about a rockstar, but I'm open to suggestions. I'm thinking about reading American Psycho, but I would love to hear some what y'all gotta say.

American Psycho is a nice book, way more expansive and gruesome then the movie.

Dharma Bums is another Kerouac book that is absolutely worth your time. A little weird in parts but overall very cool.

James Rollins, Michael Crichton and Clive Cussler are all great authors to check out.

I finally finished the Inheritance Series (Christopher Paolini), started those books in like junior high, I have been waiting YEARS for him to finish the last book, and it finally came out. Those books are fucking awesome.

Anything and everything Vonnegut. Slaughterhouse 5 and Cat's Cradle are his most well known, but Breakfast of Champions is probably one of my favorite books.

The Heroin Diaries was pretty awesome (if you're looking for a book about a rockstar)

A Game of Thrones series was one of the best I've ever read. (Actually looking for something awesome to read after recently completing these, myself.)

Life On The Outside - The Prison Oddysey of Elaine Bartlett.

Real life story, lady is poor, gets set up to sell drugs because she has no money and goes to jail for 18 years because of it. Really puts most of our lives into perspective because it goes into detail how people live in the projects. Really difficult book to put down and it's a pretty easy read.
