Hi,
Hemingway's The Old Man and The Sea. I have read this so many times, the struggle against the fish is wonderful and fighting off the sharks, his love of baseball and the young boys devotion. What a wonderful story. The story never gets old you enjoy it as if it were the first time you read it.

Hemingway killed himself near where I live... the elementary school here is named after him.

World War Z: An oral history of the Zombie War, and The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks are both very good.

Interestingly enough, I was in a conversation about this a few hours ago, and it is going to be a movie, it's but a matter of time now.

I need to finish reading that book. My wife bought it for me about a year ago.
Lately, I have been collecting bibles/religious books to read. I want to get an English version of the Qur'an next.

My favorite books always seem to be old college books that I've accumulated...philosophy/logic being number 1 (never did finish that class).

Currently, I'm finishing the Chemistry of Powder and Explosives

@ColdStl
I've only read the first few xanths, I should get more! My friend has a bunch of explosives books I read when I go to his house XD. I also find religious texts interesting, but most western texts and those based off of judaism I find are rather non-poetic and droll. I can't imagine the Qur'an would be much more interesting than the bible or torah, considering they are all basically the same, + or - a few things. But I hope you can find a copy!

I am pretty generic as far as books go:

1984 - Orwell
War and Peace - Tolstoy
Crime and Punishment - Dostoevsky
Brave New World - Huxley
We - Zamyatin
Stranger - Camus
Metamorphosis - Kafka
Art of War - Sun-tsu

All the Dirk Pitt novels by Clive Cussler (damn cool books ).

Also Western Novels:

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (great movie as well)
The Gun of Jesse Hand
Gone to Texas

etc...

That is a great book, not exactly a good read though... more of an informative instruction manual/cookbook... although I had already known about most of the compounds in there
