Yo Troops,


My suggestion is to read THE LORD OF THE FLIES by William Golding.

It's a story about a group of little military school kids who crash on a deserted island. Then afterwards, they ALL start reverting back to their core personalities. Some are weak, some are strong and assertive, while others turn EVIL and VISCIOUS.

It's all about what happens when society, morality, and civilized laws are no longer around to guide the behaviors of mankind. I used to write papers and give behavioral and SPIRITUALLY themed lectures on this book. It's deep AND entertaining with an ABRUPT, and kinda "unexpected" ending.

So check it out, Troops.

You NOW have your homework assignment! LOL

Are you interested in fiction or non-fiction?

A favorite of mine is Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities.

If you like non-fiction, try The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, by Edmund Morris.

Uhhh...actually, OF MICE AND MEN was written by George's younger, more devastatingly handsome brother----John Steinbeck. lol

The Secret History by Donna Tartt.

It's a classic (and Classical!) murder mystery thriller, but turned on its head. The author immediately tells you who did it, and the rest of the book is a fascinating indepth look at the whys and wherefores. Each page of the book is wonderfully lyrical, and there are turns of phrases in the book that still resonate with me today. (And I first read it when I was 17, nearly a decade ago...)

The writing is so good that once you've read it through once, you could literally crack the book open to any given page and start reading and it would still entertain you.

One of the best-written books I've ever come across. Well worth borrowing at the library or buying.

She also wrote a second book, The Little Friend, which was not as great a success as the first.

Kitchen Confidential- By Anthony Bourdain. That guy rocks, I wish I have his lifestyle.

You might want to try Jack London's Martin Eden. It's one of the few books I liked reading in high school. It's a story of a working class guy who chases fame and a woman of higher class. What happens though is not what you would expect. You can read it for free here: http://london.sonoma.edu/Writings/MartinEden/

 

[KarmaSutra]

Irrational Man by William Barrett ( The book on modern Existentialsm )

Diary of a drug fiend by Aleister Crowley

No one here gets out alive (The biography of Jim Morrison)

The killer inside me by Jim Thompson



These are a good start . . .

 

[doctoroxygen]

Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman is a good one.

My favorite book of all time is Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man. If you want to read a book about race in America, that's the one. Brilliant.

I will check that book out.

Jack London is a great author, I read White Fang several years ago, and loved it! I would definately recommend it.

One I just finished was Caesars Legion, very very interesting! Nearly 100% factual, which is unusual when looking for books on the Roman empire.

 

[~attrACTION~]

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

I highly recommend these as well. I would also recommend:

The Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman

The Power of Now by Eckhart Toll

Reading is the healthiest and smartest craving you can have.
