Red Storm Rising; The Picture of Dorian Gray; (nerd) R.A. Salvatore - Cadderly and Danica Series for light reading; From the Earth to the Moon (or any Verne); The Republic by Plato especially Cave Allegory; Isaac Asimov's The Last Question (in my opinion the greatest short story ever written); I"ll toss a non fic in here but Physics of the Impossible - Michio Kaku ... Part describing electron probabilities shattered my universe. As a 12 year old kid- Harry Potter Every Redwall Abbey book ever (really associated with the moles and badgers and liked the descriptions of their feasts) Every Hardy Boys book .. Ever ... The classics were the best still have all the original hardcovers The Hobbit LOTR - Kinda pissed they skipped Tom Bombadil in the movie... I realize now he was Sauron's other. Dune Swiss Family Robinson Treasure Island Where the RedFern Grows Clive Clussler ill stop now ... Y'all go catch up on yer reading. Oh and one more I'm working on currently.. The Brothers Karamazov

I'm half the way "Plato's Republic: A dialogue in 16 chapters" by Alain Badiou. Badiou, a realy weird philosopher, is one of the few that thinks we should come back reading Plato, considering that contemporary symptom is that metaphisics is gone for good. The book is a rewriting of Plato's Republic in a more (not total) contemporary language, with lots of references to todays events and problems.
We have similar taste in books. Asimov is one of the very fisrt authors I ever read back when I was a boy.
Greatings.
