Best books and trilogy= 'Black', 'Red' and 'White' by Ted Dekker.

Absolutly amazing. I read a hell of a lot of books, and nothing can compare to those books.

That must have been pretty interesting ! I'm almost finished with Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins. His books are the literary equivalent of a slap-happy LSD trip

Let's see, just finished The World According to Garp, good book, pretty twisted, but good overall. Almost finished reading Crossing California, which is an amazing book, I'd recomend it to anyone. And I'm drawing a blank about the authors of these ones, but I'll put them back in my post some other time.

Right now Im reading Bob Dylans Chronicles Vol. 1. Its really interesting and if your a dylan fanI would deffinetly recomend reading it. But I bet if you start reading it halfway through your going to want to listen to Dylan over and over. Before that I started reading A people History of The United States by howard zinn but got busy and got a new book so Ill finish that later. Before that I was reading the death of Ivan Lyvech. Before that Fahrenheit 451,In the heat of the night, The things they carried, Civil disobedience, Walden Pond, a lesson before dying. And thats about as far back as I can remember. I dont read much fiction but I really liked fahrenheit 451, 1984, You dont know meand of course The Chronicles of narnia.
