~Ye must desire respite from thy empty existence. Thou shalt have it.~
A Clockwork Orange as a novel is better than the movie in my opinion, so read it, although it's quite disturbing at some points.
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell is another good one I just finished.
The Redemption Of Althalus - David & Leigh Eddings
Have A Nice Day, A Tale Of Blood & Sweatsocks - Mick Foley
The Death Of WCW - RD Reynolds & Bryan Alvarez
and, of course, The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
Even if you're not a wrestling fan, the middle two suggestions are excellent reads.
"As the days go by, we face the increasing inevitability that we are alone in a godless,
uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"
I read the other two on your list, Raine...not the wrestling ones. Both are awesome.

I like 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley but that would prolly be because of my twisted humor.
Right now I'm reading 'The Inferno' by Dante Aligheiri which is done in poem/prose like form, so if you like shakespear type books ('cause I do, HAMLET ALL THE WAY!) then you might like it.
Personal recommendations are <u>Catch-22</u>, by Joseph Heller, and anything by Kurt Vonnegut, namely <u>Slaughterhouse Five</u> and <u>Breakfast of Champions</u>.
Ender's Game
For fantasy readers:
Zelanskys' Amber Trilogy
Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series
The best book of all time:
Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita
The best-written book of all time:
Nabokov's Lolita
bartimaeus series
It looks like the ground had a sex change.
if i ever write a book....you should probably read that....cuz im jus such a cool dude.........ya know.......i bet my book would radiate cool.......
Sephiro this here.
Game Of Shadows by Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams.
Basically, this book is the smoking gun in the case against Barry Bonds with regards to steroids. If you wanna see proof once and for all about his guilt or innocence, read this book.
Azzie turned me onto a Game of Thrones and it was awesome. I'm reading Anna Karenina right now, and it is fantastic. Um, I read watership down last year and it was amazing. Cloudsplitter is a fictionary novel about the son of John Brown, and it was pretty good too.
I'm currently reading Veronika Decides To Die by Paulo Coelho and I can fully recommend that. Great great book so far.

Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley, one of my favorite books. It is fantasy, set in the time of King Authur, told from the perspective of women. Margaine, a.k.a. Morgan Le Fay, is the main character.
Sophie's World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy by Jostein Gaarder, translation by Paulette Moller. It is also a work of fiction, yet has non-fiction aspects as it gives brief and simple summaries about different philosophical movement and thinkers while having a nice plot.
The Fifth Ring series by Mitchell Graham. At first this might seem like a LotR rip-off but it is not.
The World's Religions by Huston Smith. A good book that looks at the major faiths of the world. Actually it was a text book for one of my classes.
The Drifters, James A. Michener. Not enough people have read this AMAZING BEYOND AMAZING book go read it nowMichener's like...a god.
Yes! Yes yes yes. Even if you didn't like the movie I would still recommend reading it. The movie drags in certain parts where the book does not, interestingly enough!
And The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. It's not a horror story so if you don't normally like King because of that then it don't matter.
And Fahrenheit 451. Good stuff really. Although you'll probably have to read that at some point if you're a student anyways, so go ahead and look forward to it!
