Thanks to everyone that posted their favorite books, or books for suggestion on this board. I'm not much into reading unless i'm really into the subject at hand, but this winter i've been reading a lot more. I think my recent disgust with television has basically driven me into a guitar/reading lifestyle, which i might add, is very relaxing. If there are any other books you would like to suggest, go ahead and let em' rip. I've taken a liking to more history and factual books, but i'm open to any suggestions that may be worth a read. Thanks again everyone!

a heartbreaking work of staggering genius - dave eggers
on the road, the dharma bums, desolation angels - jack kerouac
for whom the bell tolls, to have and have not - ernest hemingway
quo vadis - henryk sienkiewicz (you'd have to check the spelling on that one.)

quo vadis is an historical novel about early christianity. its really pretty interesting. long, but worth it if you're into historical novels.
