What do you think? Have any?

Malcolm X Auto ( my bible)

A Pretext To War ( james sanford)

The Debt America Owes Blacks ( can't remeber)

MisEducation Of The Negro ( carter g woodson)


Is Bill Cosby Right ( Micheal Dyson)

Other Vietnam (?)

The Bible

The Lord of the Rings -by J.R.R. Tolkien

The Very Hungry Catepillar- by Eric Carlisle(sp ) for the under 5 crowd

The Godfather-by Mario Puzo

Depends on age, but i found "His Dark Materials" by Philip Pullman a good read,
I also have to say "Harry Potter" by JKR

Robert Asoin's "M.Y.T.H" series were good.

Harry Potter is the unsaid choice for me. I love those books.

Roots - Alex Haley

The Space Trilogy - C.S. Lewis

Dark Tower Series - Stephen King

very important book: Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight - Thom Hartmann

"books should read"





Anyways, Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mockingbird" is a must, I think.
"The Devil's Teardrop" by Jeffrey Deaver is a good read, also
And "The Raven and Other Stories" by Edgar Allan Poe
That's all that comes to mind right now

Harry Potter's a given, like fuscia said.

My first reaction to the title of this thread was, "they don't have eyes"

Anyway, I think that some type of Holy Scripture, depending on your religion, should be read. That said, lord of the rings by JRRT.
I'll also recommend Jurrasic Park, the movie was pretty good, but I really liked the book, it was a great read.

Lying Liers.... ( Franken)

Stupid White Men ( Moore)



Souls of Black Folk ( Du Bois)

Politics for Dummies (liberals need to have)

I couldn't stand "To Kill A Mocking Bird" I mean, I read it but I won't say that it's my favorite classic...


Anyway.

*Outlander & series (Diana Gabaldon)
not to be confused with the sci-fi one ALSO called The Outlander series

LOTR (J. R. R. Tolkien)

Ender's Game (Orson Scott Card)

for those of you that has read Gone With The Wind Scarlett: The Sequel to Margret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind is a sequel by another Author. (Alexander Riply)

Sir Apropos of Nothing (Peter David)
It doesn't take much to say that it's HILARIOUS. Read the reviews yourself and you see. It's also has a very... cynical twist. veery disturbing.... which in my book, makes it a good read. Peter David twists the fantasy cliche into something surprisingly laughable. It's a parody, a satire of the cliches of the fantasy books. l It has followups but I havn't read them yet. I didn't know about it! I kept on looking for it in the library but gave up. I knew there would AT LEAST be a sequel cause the end is an obvious cliff-hanger... Well, I'm going boook-hunting, guys
