Any good book suggestions?

Migrated topic.
Depends what genre interests you or what you would like development with.

Off the top - "Cosmic Serpent" , "Think & Grow Rich" , "The Book of 5 Rings"

and obviously many many others depending on your field of inquiry .....
 
Garden of Eden - Voogelbreinder
PiHKAL - Shulgin & Shulgin
TiHKAL - Shulgin & Shulgin
Pharmako/Poeia - Pendell
The Permaculture Book of Ferment and Human Nutrition - Mollison

They would be my desert island collection :). Yes, I like nonfiction. As for fiction, one of these decades I will finish reading Gravity's Rainbow. 1984 and Brave New World if in the world for something more prosaic.
 
I always recommend I,Claudius and Claudius the God both by Robert Graves which are books documenting the life of the roman emperor Clausius, they are great reads. But if historic fiction isn't your kind of thing then i would say to go with Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
 
Dude I'm reading Homers Illiad. It is AWESOME!!

I never knew what an "epic" was until i read that. Read it. You'll digg.
 
I agree with Anon, Atlas Shrugged is a great read (whether or not you agree with the author's particular philosophical leanings). His Dark Materials series (Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass) by Phillip Pullman is probably the best story I have ever read. Those books changed my life. If you would be into religious themed sci-fi The Sparrow is a really good read, but be warned it is kind of like the movie "Requiem For a Dream" in that it is fucking harrowing and will leave you shocked and horrified. Also, I just finished How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe, and I loved that book. Not even really THAT science-fictiony, more like philosophical time based wordplay. But fun.
 
Supernatural - Graham Hancock
Touches many subjects I've been interested in for a long time, but never thought about it the way he lay's it out! Very cool read!
