Here are a few books I feel should be read by the entire modist congregation.
Feel free to add your own and discuss/ridicule titles.
--Reaper Man, Thief of Time, and Going Postal By Terry Pratchett
My favorite parts of my favorite series.
--Nuklear Power, By Brian Clevenger
My favorite single book ever. See if you can find the joke.
--Boy's Life, by Robert McCammon
The first real novel I ever read. Good, good stuff.
--Crisscross, by F. Paul Wilson
Part of a great series, and details the most hardcore revenge plan EVER.
--The Zombie Survival Guide, by Max Brooks
You can never be too prepared for an assault by the livinvg dead.
More to be added later.

BEST TOPIC EVER.
Kevin's trying to get me to read Going postal. Is it really fabu?
The Handmaids Tale, by Margaret Atwood.
Best alternate universe book of the future ever. So socially disturbing, though maybe not as much as 1984 or Brave New World. I need to read those still.
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
This is where I get a lot of my feelings on religion from.
The Shining by Stephen King
The first King book I've ever read. O:

Tagra Nar Neverwhere, American Gods, and Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. The Oracle by William J. Broad Will forgets Thud by Pratchett, methinks. Thud! is good, but Reaper Man and Thief of Time are better. And yes Kyraa, Going Postal is pretty much the best thing ever. At lest until october, since that's when Making Money hits.

Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics, which may not count as novels but Iduncare.
The Blue Sky by Galsan Tschinag. Story about a Mongolian shepard boy who becomes the shaman of his people. Went to see him speak, and he was lovely! The story is both the fact and fantasy of his own life.
Black Sun Rising, When True Night Falls, and Crown of Shadows by C.S. Friedman. It's a science fantasy trilogy without the retarded that many fantasy stories have been infected with. Read it. xd
The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien. Do I need to say why? domokun heart

Starship Troopers, THE BOOK, you fools! DIZZY IS A GUY! scream Hmm, a book where Diz is a guy, or a movie where Diz is a hot chick that shows her breasts in the shower? Gotta go with the movie here, sparky. And yes, Dune is 50^10 kinds of awesome.

It's a good thing I've read most of these already. whee And yes, Going Postal is freaking awesome!!!
I'm glad American Gods was mentioned, since it's only my favorite book ever.
I also think we should read Catch 22. ninja

If you haven;t met the comedy team of Flint and Freer, you must give it a whirl.
Both "Pyramid Scheme" and "Rats Bats and Vats" are free from BAEN.
(Hi guys, long time)
