I have run out of books to read. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

Depends. What're you into?

Mostly stuff that has nothing clear to do with real life, but I'll read anything once.

[libbythered]

Might I suggest:
"A Game of Thrones" by George R.R. Martin (I usually can't stand fantasy and I love these books)

"Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson

"Excession" by Ian M. Banks (one of my favorite authors)

"Ubik" by Philip K. Dick

"Gun, With Occasional Music" by Jonathan Letham

"Flanders" by Patricia Anthony (gut wrenching)

And anything that Kurt Vonnegut ever wrote (including his latest, "A Man Without a Country")

That's all I can think of at the moment. Mostly it's all science fiction.

Ooh! Non-fiction hilarity! "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Fenyman" by Richard Fenyman. Work on the Manhattan project. A really interesting book.

Wow. That oughtta keep me busy.

Not sure how much of a Vonnegut fan I am, though to be fair I've only ever read Slaughterhouse Five.

The Sandman comics, by Neil Gaiman, aren't exactly books, but they keep me amused. Also, read 'The Fountainhead' by Ayn Rand. It's pretty much the best thing ever.

I have, in fact, read Sandman... Hated it... Does this mean I will hate The Fountainhead as well? Only time will tell.

(Thanks for the suggestions).

Gahhh! *Reels and dies* No, you'll love 'The Fountainhead'. Unless you hate it.
