Thread: A Good Book

1. Erich Maria Remarque- All Quiet on the Western Front
2. Anything Hemingway
3. J.D Salinger- Catcher in the Rye
4. Ken Kessey- One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

My recent discovery of the Kindle workaround has got me reading a bit more. I'm currently in the middle of The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane. I plan to revisit a lot of my favorite classics in the months to come. I think Mark Twain, Following the Equator is probably next on the list. One of these days, I'll jump into grad school so intellectual laziness is no longer an option.

Novels:
Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Mark Twain
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress - Robert Heinlein

Not Novels, but among my favorite books:
Liberalism, the Classical Tradition - Ludwig Von Mises
The Road to Serfdom - F.A. Hayek
The 5000 Year Leap - W. Cleon Skousen

Oh yes, sorry. I have read war and peace in two occasions, and at a time, I have changed the author.
I'm ashamed

Thank you for clarifying my error.

Something that I dream about, but it is hard to make it out!

Check out Grigorij Fedoszejev, you will find only 3 books(as I know) but it is worth to read it!

Currently about halfway through a rereading of The Frontiersman by Allen Eckert. Definitely a must read if you live in the Ohio/Kentucky area.

Curently reading something informative, "When Money Dies" by Adam Fergusson.

Some great authors and wonderful books have been mentioned.

In addition to many of the previously mentioned authors, I would like to add

Robert E Howard.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
John Steinbeck.
Vince Flynn.
Lee Child.
John Sandford
Jack Schaefer.
Tm Dorsey.

And a few thousand others that have helped me make it through days and nights.
