Anything by my favourite author kurt vonnegut

 

I read Cats Cradle this summer. He is a really good writer, but the ending just seems sorta "blah" for lack of a better way to put it. It was an enjoyable read though.

The Screwtape Letters- by C.S. Lewis ...an under appreciated work of his imo

 

if you dig science-

The Great Mambo Chicken & the Transhuman Condition: Science Slightly Over the Edge- by Ed Regis I enjoyed the hell out of this one... a personal fave.

 

The Dancing Wu Li Masters : An Overview of the New Physics- by Gary Zukav

 

The Body Electric- Robert O. Becker MD & Gary Selden

 

Black Holes & Time Warps: Einstein's Outrageous Legacy- Kip S. Thorne (A buddy/colleague of stephen hawking.)

 

I've become interested in stuff by Henry Hazlitt, as well.

 

One of the best bathroom books ever-

The Great Thoughts- 'by' George Seldes (Quotes and conceptualizations by people from Archimedes to Zeno the Stoic.... great reading with lots of leads.)

 

I also recommend A Course in Miracles. (really tough if you give it your dedication. Not light reading.)

 

btw- I agree with MdK... Dragonlance is all about Weis & Hickman.

Terry Brooks does some pretty good stuff too... especially the early 3-4 of the Shannara books.

Heinlein and Asimov have always been highly recommended, but I moved from science-fiction to science very early. (I think that is half the point. -see Great Mambo Chicken)

....and I could go on and on, but this list will make your brain liquefy.

Info-tainment!
