[B]Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged (still in the middle of it).

 

i would have read that if i hadnt stopped reading

 

Damn straight. Also:

The Bible (KJV)
and anything by Mr. Darwin. (Please no flames, I love reading all POVs)

 

magician, I actually find Atlas Shrugged to be quick reading, I just hardly get around to actually doing it.

[B]2kturkey, have you read Atlas Shrugged?

 

What a truly great post. I'm very, very sad to admit that I barely read at all, anymore. As a kid, I couldn't get enough of reading... High school came, then college, and after... and my interest died down.

I feel that I'm gaining some of that interest back, however. Which is gratifying.

However... hmm let's see....

In Cold Blood
To Kill a Mockingbird
Teachings of a Grand Master (Richard Behrens)
The Celestine Prophecy (just started it)

That's just a few.

Hermann Hesse - specifically - Demian & Siddhartha

But the most influential author I ever read: Rainer Maria Rilke, in particular - Letters to a Young Poet.

 

in no particular order:

Siddartha - Herman Hesse
The Stranger - Albert Camus
Candide - Voltaire
plus a bunch of others


speaking of Ayn Rand, Ive got a couple of friends at http://www.reardonsteel.com

 

"Roots" by Alex Haley. Very involving.
