1984 was pretty dang good. Also, look into a series called "Death Lands" by James Axler. It's about survival in a post-apocalyptic world (kinda cliche, but these are dang good books). ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

Judge and Jury, by Patterson. Cheesy action book, but after reading nothing but Sociology studies for months anything non-challenging is good. -------------

"The Trial" ~ Franz Kafka "Brave New World" ~ Aldous Huxley "1984" ~ George Orwell I know you said that you typically dislike sci-fi but one I love and recommend to all is Ender's Game By Orson Scott Card -------------  |

On The Road by Jack Kerouac. Just finished it. Great read. edit - I'm really a fan of Slaughterhouse-Five by Vonnegut as well. I think I'm going to read some Dostoevsky next. Maybe some Hunter Thompson too. -------------  irc.esper.net #paintball |

I just finished Misery by Stephen King and am now working on The Stand. Misery was very good and The Stand is too, if a little long.

Just finished:
Really good if you're even remotely interested in it. If you like biographies/ autobiographies, Scar Tissue is really good, and I'm now onto Michael Palin's diaries. |
