One of my favorites is "A Rumor of War" by Philip Caputo. Great example of dealing with PTSD and severe mental trauma.

Nothing better than a good history book or one filled local folklore.

Southern Cross Nemesis I am with the above poster, What gene are you wanting in? I know of a website that has a lot of free classic books, http://www.literatureproject.com/ , Personally, now is reading Sherlock Holmes... Check it out the website... I love Sherlock Holmes sososososo much. Sherlock Holmes and the Chronicles of Narnia were probably my favourite things ever when I was a kid. Have you seen the new(ish) BBC Sherlock series? It's an awesome re-imagining of some of the old classics set in modern times. It's really well-done. I highly recommend it to anyone into the old Sherlock Holmes stories. 3nodding Besides my wedding ring, there are two pieces of jewellery that I never take off. One is my father's crucifix, and the other is a charm with Holmes's hat, pipe, and magnifying glass that I've put on a silver chain and wear around my neck. The charm was given to me by a very close friend of mine who shares my Sherlock love. heart

The book I'm talking about is just called Heart if Darkness, not Into the Heart of Darkness. I'd venture a guess that they're two complete separate, unrelated books.

It's been a while since I've read it, I may have just typed the title wrong... The one about surviving on a whaling boat in the ocean for a very long time, right? I'm pretty sure the one I read was Joseph Conrad, I read that right after I read Moby d**k smile

I know it's depressing to most but I loved reading Wuthering Heights. I found it to be extremely humorous. It's like a campy soap opera.

Iam WhoIAm SinfulGuillotine The book I'm talking about is just called Heart if Darkness, not Into the Heart of Darkness. I'd venture a guess that they're two complete separate, unrelated books.

I'm pretty sure the one I read was Joseph Conrad, I read that right after I read Moby d**k smile Sort of. It's actually about a group of people surviving in a boat in the Congo River. The film Apocalypse Now is based off Heart of Darkness, but rather than having it set in the late 19th century in the Congo, it's set during the Vietnam War in the jungles of Vietnam. But aside from the change in setting, the story and characters are almost exactly the same. If you enjoyed Heart of Darkness, I highly recommend seeing Apocalypse Now if you haven't already.
