Any good books?
 
Recently I have got into reading ever since I received a notice that I was no longer aloud to watch movies at work. For those of you that read do you have any good book recommendations?

Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun

Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Albert Camus' The Stranger

Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle

I'm a huge Stephen King fan. Grab "The Stand". Awesome.

what are you looking for or interested in? fiction, non fiction? I have gotten back into reading myself and alternate between fiction and non.

A book most people here would probably enjoy is Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein. Much better than the movie. I was recommended to read this book by my platoon sargent a couple years ago. Great book. It's even on the USMC reading list.

The non fiction book i'm reading now is called Hyperspace, well I guess it could kind of be fiction since it's about superstring theory and theoretical physics, but I digress.

Most people would probably recognize the author, he's on the discovery channel all the time, Michio Kaku. I'm about half way done and it's a book on theoretical physics and our universe written for the general public, not scientists. Therefore if you have a basic grasp of physics and science, you shouldn't have a problem reading it. So far i'm enjoying it a lot.
