I need book suggestions...

[Scooter24]

I'm sure there are many avid readers here. It's been so long since I've found time to pick up a book and thoroughly enjoyed reading it to the end. It's time to get back in the habit :) Any recommendations?

Thanks bunches :hi:

1. What types of books do you like

If you like baseball, "Cool of the Evening" is a good one, it is a biography of the 1965 Minnesota Twins.

4. hmm...

I won't limit myself to any one genre or subject. I've committed myself to one book every two weeks, so I'm sure I'll have enough to choose from :)

Thanks for the suggestion :hi:

2. If you wanna get knocked on your ass...

...read Daniel Quinn's "Ishmael" (and, if you have time, the subsequent trilogy: "The Story of B" and "My Ishmael")

and

Derrick Jensen's "The Culture of Make Believe".

You won't be the same person after reading these two...

7. Shogun by James Clavell.

One of my best reads. Starts a little slow, but becomes one of the best stories ever.
