The CooCoos Egg - I forget the author but it was a great book on actual events)

I agree.

Anything by Charles Bukowski
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep - Philip ****
Brave New World - Huxley
1984 - Orwell
Art of deception - Kevin Mitnick
Bringing Down the House - Ben Mezrich (Really good story of MIT kids beating Vegas Blackjack)

And I am not too ashamed to admit I really liked the Harry Potter series.

only novels i ever read were ones that i was forced to read in highschool and U.. and i only ended up actually reading like 3 of them...

grade 6 - The Cay (boring)
grade 8 - where the red fern grows (pretty good)
1st yr U - Dissapearing Moon Cafe (also good)

those are the only 3 novels i've ever fully read! hehe.. i've read random chapters of novels throughout highschool and such.. but could never muster up the stamina to finish it. oh, and only reason i actually read the cay in grade 6 was that we read it in class chapter by chapter, hehe.

Robin Hobb is a great author. I own Ship of Magic by him.

Read the Farseer Trilogy....really, really good. Much better than the Ship of magic stuff.

BTW the author is a SHE.

I recently read Eagle's Power by Haartsgard or however u spell it. The book is basically the viewpoint of America from other countries. Opens your eyes on America's foreign policies and other things.
