All Ayn Rand books.
Whoever wrote "Lonesome Dove" and all his books.
The guy who wrote "Hotel New Hampshire" and all his books.
The girl who wrote "Wheel of Fortune" and all her books.
Of course, all Stephen King.
Can't remember any authors names tonight.

I'm surprised I didnt see anybody mention the book "The Celestine Prophecy" here... well its a must read and especially for shroomers.
And I love Paolo Coelho books, especially "Veronika decides to die" and "The Alchymist". I love all spirituality books and good books about psychedelics and such and so.....

There are just so many great books to mention, but I'm gonna offer up only one.

"Shella" by Andrew Vachss

This is a gritty and grim crime noir novel that just stays with you long after you've finished it. All of the Vachss books are excellent but this, to me, is his best. It is a disturbing read but it nails down a number of truths, very well written and entertaining, its hard to put down.

Well here are a few:

Interzone - William S Burroughs
The Journey to the East - Herman Hesse
Lonesome Traveller - Jack Kerouac
Be Here Now - Ram Das (Richard Alpert)
The Bhagavad Gita
Junky - Burroughs
Fiesta: The Sun Also Rises - Hemmingway
Steppenwolf - Herman Hesse

ummm I can think of millions more, but you get the general idea.

I used to LOVE fantasy books, but haven't read any lately... The Wheel of Time series was a personal favorite (and the Xanth books by Piers Anthony when I was really young - they were so funny!)

All Star Wars novels written by Timothy Zahn or Michael Stackpole
Dragonlance series--various
Earthsea trilogy--Usula K. LeGuin
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Series--Douglas Adams
Myth Adventures--Robert Aspirin
Foundation & Second Foundation trilogies--Isaac Asimov
Hobbit/Lord of the Rings--J.R.R. Tolkien
Just about anything by Andre Norton
" " " Michael Crichton
Prydain series--Lloyd Alexander
Where the Red Fern Grows--Wilson Rawls (the only story, fictional or non-, to ever make me cry)
Catch-22--Joseph Heller

and some others that I can't think of right now.

I've read alot of sci-fi/fantasy stuff.
Haven't finished the Amber series, but was a big fan of Wheel of Time.

some old favorites:
Herman Hesse - most anything, particularly Demian, Siddartha, .. Glass Bead Game is a bit long
Jack Kerouac - On The Road

I'm a big fan of Karl Popper's philosophy, particularly the Logic of Scientific Reasoning - a bit long and dry, but makes alot more sense than most philosophy

More recently, I've really been enjoying Tom Robbins.

Have you heard this story about Popper and Wittgenstein? As the story goes, Wittgenstein was having some lecture about linguistics and denounced some idea of Popper's. And Wittgenstein, being the arrogant bastard he was, said, "And how do you refute that?!"... Popper picked up a fire-poker (what the hell is the proper word for that? I dunno...) and hit Wittgenstein on the head, saying, "I refute it THUSLY!"

:grin: the things you learn in philosophy class

Well Fear and Loathing is a pretty cool book and so is Timothy Learys The Polloticks of Exstacy. I have found A Brave new World by Aldous Huxley to
be a bit hard to get into but os far its not to bad I will probaly read Island next.
Then there is Tikhal and Pikhal, yeah and DMT the spirit molecules a good read.

I am gona get some more leary soon though it amazing what the uni libary has compared to normal public one.

She's a great writer, very good at creating characters you can care about, and good ideas for plot-lines as well. 
I was gonna make some more recommendations when I got home, but then I remembered that most of my library got ruined when we re-roofed the garage a couple years ago.  :crying:
