what about The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald? 1984 and Animal Farm by George Orwell are also great.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Any readers out there??

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Hey...what did you think of Traveling Music? I love his books, Ghost Rider was incredibly inspiring to me and Traveling Music was good just to get an insight into his life. Masked Rider is next on my list!Originally posted by earthshyne

The Foundation Trilogy by Issac Asimov
As well as any of his Robot Novels starting with I Robot. The movie wasn't bad but it obviously slapped the name and Asimov references on there (Susan Calvin, 3 laws of Robotics) as a commercial move. Other than that, it seemed like the same old robots gone mad story (and it was before they changed the movie's name from Hardwired). Read the original book for Asimov's story.

On principle i refuse to read the Da Vinci Code, because in general, real popular books i do not enjoy. If you liked War and Peace read a Day in the life of Ivan Denisovitch and Cancer Ward by alexander solhenzysityan or whatever.
Nikolai Gogol's Dead Souls is awesome as well. Crime and Punishment, Les Miserables,
Joe Simpson - touching the void
David Eddings the Magician is like a king of books.

I did read haunted competely. Some parts of it are like a car accident... make that TRAIN WRECK, horrible horrible things but at the same time you can't put it down after you start reading. It's a damned good book that portrays some of the more sickening parts of human living.Originally posted by Layla
Fight Club was great, I think I'm going to pick up haunted. Did you read the whole thing?

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"Catch-22" is my favorite. Orr's a freakin' genius.

I'm not much of a reader, but in school we had to read The Great Gatsby, and I thought that was actually pretty good, though I usually dislike most of the books we have to read. I'm a fairly slow reader (not cause I'm dumb or anything, I just read slow) and I find it difficult to thoroughly understand and enjoy most older novels, which is basically all we read in school.
If I didn't have school I think I would read a lot more. I don't ever really get a chance to read anything for pleasure during the school year because I'm always forced to read whatever book I need to for school, or I have other school work, work, or sports to do. And I'm not the type that would read two books at the same time. So basically, the freetime that I do have I would rather spend doing something else. And during the summer they assign you books to read, so it can occassionaly be difficult to read books on your own then. However, it is easier, and I think I may check out some of the books you guys have mentioned, as they sound quite good.
