RedLily Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I'm looking for good fiction, philosophy, poetry, or interesting non-fic to read this summer so I feel like I actually read something for myself this year! Please help! What are the most important/awesome book you have on your shelf? Just off the top of my head, books I've loved (or found important): Eating Animals (<-- made me a vegetarian) The Omnivore's Dilemma Game of Thrones series The Power of One Cat's Eye The Poisonwood Bible The Thorn Birds Joy Luck Club Youngblood Hawke The Bean Trees I love it when this question comes up. Anyone else ever read a book by an author, love it, and then proceed to read everything else by them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkGhost Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 The Aeneid P. Virgilii Maronis Opera: Aeneidos, Liber IV-XII Edgar Allan Poe: Complete Tales and Poems Papyrus of Ani The Naked and the Dead 80629 a Mengele Experiment If you enjoy war history (nonfiction), then I highly recommend reading "The Naked and the Dead" and "80629 a Mengele Experiment." But, my personal favourites from this list are Edgar Allan Poe and Aeneidos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
