Fantastic books IMO
Dervacumen:
For some reason I decided to re-read a few books that to me seemed to be fantastic. Do you have any I should read? I don't care about ratings or critically acclaimed. It's all about what you really liked or identified with for whatever reason. For me, there are a few on which I ponder on occasion so I'll start with two of my favorites. Right now I'm reading Brave New World again. I's tattered and torn, and the cover is falling off so I have to be careful. There's something grounding about reading a tattered book now-a-days...
Brave New World, Aldous Huxley.
The Catcher in the Rye, J. D. Salinger.

I just finished reading Brave New World for the first time a few weeks ago. Good book. Picked it up on Paperbackswap...
One book I really liked and I reread from time to time is Macroscope by Piers Anthony.
stu33:
Any of the Malcolm Gladwell books (Blink, Outliers and The Tipping Point). They're non-fiction, really they're just really long essays.
I'm rereading Stephen Hawking's The Universe in a Nutshell right now.

If you dig dystopians like Brave New World, you should try 1984 (if you haven't already).
