  2. Ive actually considered reading this, but haven't known any one who has read it before. I'll have to pick it up.
    I read a ton, usually 4-5 books a month if not more, so if something isn't "great" but just good and fun I can still enjoy it
     
  3. let the right one in
    ANYTHING BY Chuck Palahniuk.
    The Year of Living Biblically.
    Chelsea Handlers FIRST book rules.

    Read the works of Kerouac, Ginsberg and Burroughs and it will change your view on everything!!!

    On the Road- Jack Kerouac. Fucking gem!
    Junkie/Queer/Nova Express/ Naked Lunch- William S. Burroughs. This man was a genius.
    Howl- Allen Ginsberg. It's a poem, but it is basically just 3 extremely long run-n sentences and very interesting. It's pretty long and uses a lot of metaphors, so be prepared.
     
  5. harry potter
     
  6. Get some of Andy McNabs books those things are the shit.
     
  7. C.J. Cherryh's Foreigner series, very dense and very good.
    Hubbard's Battlefield Earth. Ignore the absolute crap of the movie, the book is a behemoth of every genre blended into sci fi :)
