Books are cool

[readingredhead]

Updating my list of books I've read so far this year:

1. Beauty by Robin McKinley
2. The Coelura by Anne McCaffrey
3. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
4. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
5. An Assembly Such As This by Pamela Aidan
6. Duty and Desire by Pamela Aidan
7. These Three Remain by Pamela Aidan
8. A Wizard Alone by Diane Duane
9. Hamlet by William Shakespeare

And I'm working on Wuthering Heights, which is getting less confusing (thankfully). After that I'm thinking Cat's Cradle...I've wanted to read it for quite a while. Any suggestions for books I absolutely have to read?

Is These Three Remain any good?

"The Wall" (short story) by Sartre.
_Stranger in a Strange Land_ by Heinlein (hey, sci-fi)
_Easiest Best Thing is Be Kind_ by some guy
_Principia Discordia_ by Mal-2 (a real book but available for frees at http://www.principiadiscordia.com/)
_Notes From Underground_ by Dostoevsky
I am told Herman Hesse is for the dudes, so we will not suggest him. He is very much about the ladies, but they might not be the intended audience?
James Joyce, Joe Campbell, Tim Leary, Ken Kesey...
I am full o' suggestions that no one will want to take, but I will answer questions about the weirdness of any of these.

*A Great and Terrible Beauty* and *Rebel Angels* by Libba Bray. Victorian gothic novels... 'nuff said. Oh, and anything by Randy Singer.

*The Color Purple* by Alice Walker.
*talking in the dark* by Billy Merrel (a memoir in poetry; Tony currently has my copy. Unless he lost it).

Nothing else is coming to mind at the minute. Which is frustrating because I have read several really good books this year.

Oh, *America (The Book)* by Jon Stewart. Haha. I'm in love with that man now.

There's the Norwegian book I was telling you about on Monday - Beyond the Great Indoors by Ingvar Ambjornsen. I can bring it to school with me and lend it to you if you're interested in it.
