They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin
Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, & the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opiate of the masses. - Karl Marx
Hell is other people - Jean-Paul Sartre
When I was younger I read 'The Stand' by Stephen King about 7 times.
'Swan Song' by Robert McCammon. If you liked The Stand, you'll like this one. Same premise, different execution of the story.
Earnest Hemingway's, "In our Time", a collection of short stories by him and published in 1925. One story in that book pretty much defined how I am as an outdoorsman today.
I think over again
My small adventures, my fears.
The small ones that seemed so big,
For all the vital things I had to get and to reach.
And yet there is only one great thing, the only thing:
To live to see the great day that dawns,
And the light that fills the world.

"Ender's Game" By Orson Scott Card
I enjoyed King Rat.
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is my favorite comedic book (although I enjoyed the original radio broadcast more...)
Dyin' ain't much of a living, boy

Wait a second... you're telling me Sixpac Shakur is a CHICK?
Sun Tzu - The Art of War. No matter how many times I read it I get new insights in dealing with people and situations.

Oh! I love me some Rober McCammon. "Blue World" is probably my favorite by him. It's a collection of 13(?) short stories, the best, in my not-so-humble opinion was "Yellowjacket Summer."Originally Posted by Jeffbx

Funny: My Next Wife.
7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. Definitely gave me a different outlook on my life.
The Watchmen by Alan Moore. "If you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
Milton's Paradise Lost. Kinda the only thing I can think of. I was defined more by my music than by my literature. I'm also a fan of The Great Gatsby and Emma
As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals.
The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli. Definitely gave me a much better outlook on life.
"Steppenwolf" by Hermann Hesse.

I also like The Physics of Baseball by Robert K. Adair.
Guns, Germs, and Steel for nonfiction.
Fiction is tougher, but I'd probably go with Lord of the Rings. F**kin' hobbits, man. F**kin' hobbits.
Carnal Innocence by Nora Roberts. Pure escapism plus lots of sex!
My grandkids are cuter than yours !
Rock on Chargers !

Oh! The places you'll go!

Does anyone expect me to say anything other than the Bible? Other than that? There's so much I want to say. Wow... there really are so many good ones, I'm going to leave this blank. I'd like to say that I'll get back to it, but odds are that I'll just forget anyways.... I'd probably go with Lord of the Rings. F**kin' gay hobbits, man. F**kin' gay hobbits.
I agree. And I patently refuse to use the "I'm with stupid" smiley on this one!
stay low... keep moving...
Phillip K Dick is probibly one of the greatest sci-fi authors of the 19th century. They are still making movies based on his short storys and novels.

Wolverine #1
Hey RAY, I own Wolverine #1-12. I bought them new in the sack, I figured they might be the baseball cards of my generation. Was I right? I still have them in my parents' house.

When I was a kid, my favorite book was "I want to go home" by Gordon Korman. It was absolutely hilarious. Anyone ever read it?
