Jurassic Park and The Lost World. The movies are one thing, but the books are sheer genius. Really, anything by Crichton.

I recently finished reading " Cobain Unseen " which is about Kurt Cobain, gives lots of good never before seen images of his artwork, and him. Mostly about his artistic side. Pretty good, probably not something you really are looking for though. lol. You could start on some of the following series: Ringworld. The Book of the New Sun. The Dark Tower. The Foundation. All of which is pretty old series except for The Dark Tower which has some more recent releases.

Demian by Herman Hesse Not Necessarily for everyone, but its intense. The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula Le Guin(sp) A beautiful story and idea Illusions: The Adventures of A Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach A laymen writing but a brilliant story concept Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut Probably read this already but if you havent you should. Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet I loved it, just a fun story about the end of the world. A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore Fun loving story about being death, truly just an enjoyable tale. Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk Another one im sure your have read but again needed mentioned. American Gods by Neil Gaiman Just a good tale. The Gladiator by Harry Turtledove Its really part of series but stands on its own. Ehh thats enough...I could go on forever lol

Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination by Neal Gabler is what I'm currently reading and it's a really fascinating biography. I just finished up Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett which is a hilarious story, the Discworld series is great.

"Jaws" by Peter Benchly. Very different from the film.
"A Child Called It" by David Pelzer. It's the author's true story about one of the most horrible cases of child abuse. It almost made me cry.

I've actually been re-reading the Harry Potter books, after being completely lost having not read them in a while prior to seeing the last film. However, once that's done, I've got a list of nonfictions on deck:
That's No Angry mod, That's My Mom by Michael Graham
Jack: Straight From The Gut by Jack Welch
Nickel & Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich
No Easy Answers by Brooks Brown

Fight Club and The Kite Runner are both very good books. Other then that, I haven't read many books lately besides graphic novels and wrestling stuff.

Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut Probably read this already but if you havent you should. Haven't read that one yet. I loved "Slaughterhouse Five" so several of Vonnegut's books are on my to-read list. Christopher Moore is an odd individual to me, in that I think he is an awesome dude who is hilarious in person and has some terrifically creative ideas. That being said, I haven't been able to make it through most of his books that I've attempted to read. Something about the writing just doesn't do it for me. I want to love it, but I can't. "A Dirty Job" is one that I did read all the way through, but I had to force myself to do so. I do love "Fool" though. Still haven't got to this or "Survivor" yet. "Invisible Monsters" is one of my favorite books, though. Definitely recommend that one. It's one that I just can't fathom working as a movie. There are a lot of twists that benefit from it being a story that is told, and I think seeing the characters on screen would spoil everything. I whole heartedly recommend "Thirteen Reasons Why" by Jay Asher to anyone who is open to reading some well written young adult fiction. Don't let the cover fool you, as it looks like a book for middle school girls. It's actually a captivating story that had me hooked to the point that I read it in one sitting. Also recommended are John Green's "Paper Towns" and "Looking for Alaska." I'm a creative writing major and those are just the kind of stories I want to tell. And of course, for wrestling fans Chris Jericho's new book is a must read.
