I do not read a great amount of books, but I always try to have one on the go. Last year for english I had to study 'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck and it was a really great book.

Need i say more why im such a staunch criticiser of the US's hypocricy and double standards
I have been reading a book called "From the barrel of the gun: The US War against Zimbabwe 1965-1980" by Gerald Horne
I highly recommend it!

Thought this might be of interest to all of you book lovers and writers out there...
Please Distribute Widely!!!
EARTH CHARTER ONENESS BOOK PROJECT: GLOBAL CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Have you ever experienced moments of deep connection with the world around you? Do you have stories or photos that illustrate the oneness of life? We warmly welcome you to become part of the Earth Charter Oneness Book Project...
THE CALL:
Earth Charter International invites you to reflect upon moments when you have suddenly felt a deep sense of oneness or connection with the world around you. We are seeking personal stories and photos on this theme of connection from a great diversity of ages, cultures, religions, and walks of life. Submissions will be selected from every region of the world, and published in a book to be released internationally in 2009. For full details and the Youtube version of the Call, please visit: [link="http://www.earthcharterinaction.org/publication"]. Please share with us your voice, your images, and your inspiration!
THE QUESTION:
The question we are inviting you to respond to has two parts: When have you experienced moments of unexpected connection or oneness in your life, and how has this feeling inspired and sustained your vision, hope, and action for a better world?
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
Stories and photos that come out of your personal experience and speak to unexpected moments of connection. This connection could be with anything that has inspired in you a feeling of oneness – with a culture, a stranger, a mountain, a community, or a passing butterfly. These may stem from experiences of the everyday or the extraordinary, from a random encounter that expanded your sense of connection to a defining revelation in your life. Ultimately, we want to hear about those moments of connection that have had a meaningful impact on your everyday life. Stories should be 1-4 pages in length (500-2400 words). Full details are available at www.earthcharterinaction.org/publication.
WHEN IS THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS?
Send in your submissions by August 15th, 2008 (12 midnight GMT) for first priority consideration.
HOW TO SUBMIT?
Visit http://www.earthcharterinaction.org/publication for full rules, guidelines, and instructions.
WHO ARE WE?
The Earth Charter is a widely recognized, global consensus statement on ethics and values for a more just, sustainable, and peaceful future. You can find out more at www.earthcharter.org.

I've read quite a few books its umm... an obsession of mine. Right now though one of my favourite series is the one by Megan Whalen Turner which includes the books the Thief, The Queen of Attolia and the King of Attolia. I enjoyed these books because they combined some of my favourite topics like mythology and adventure but what i liked most about these books is the fact that the main character is given flaws and he's also given strengths. The story tends to end somewhat bitter sweet especially in the Queen of Attolia but regardless i love the books

ohh, I lovee reading a good book!
I just finished Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, and that was not what I usually read, but I REALLY liked it!
My all time favorite books are definitely the Twilight series, the Alex Rider books, and the Maximum Ride books.
and I really like Mary Higgins Clark too!

A novel that definately made me think was Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress written by Dai Sjie. This is an excellent novel for anyone that wants to know more about the Chinese cultural revolution. The character development of the main characters Luo, Ma, and the seamstress was memorable and I think that everyone should gve it a read. It will possible change the way you look at censorship and literacy,

1. The Real Dream
I don't remember the author, it's somewhere on my book shelf. But it's a book about a high school girl in America that meets this guy and she is blinded by love and it isn't until the end of the book that she realizes his flaws and that he wasn't the perfect guy she thought he was.
2. Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli
This was a truly original book that insired me personally because the story's main character Stargirl wasn't someone who fit the typical mold of a high schooler but she had this essence; something that made her so special. And even the story's other main character Leo notices this. It's a fantastic read

Books about the power of determination, presistence and 'sticktuitivity' are always good. Motivational stuff and biographies are always interesting.
For example:
Ugly by Constance Briscoe
Think Big by Ben Carson
Gifted Hands by Ben Carson
These books (and the like) definitely make me think... and act!
