Book List Randomness

[eiblyn]

I'm trying to get together a list of books to read this year outside of class. I am nowhere as industrious as some of my friends (*grins at blueathena*) but I think I should be able to handle 20 books. So please add suggestions as I have no idea what 20 books are worth time reading this year. BTW...no, I really haven't read any of the things on this list. If you make fun of me, I'll be forced to cry on you.

1. Da Vinci Code


2. Civil Disobedience


3. Fellowship of the Ring


4. The Two Towers


5. Return of the King


6. Stranger in a Strange Land


7. Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy


8. Restaurant at the End of the Universe


9. 1984


10. Callahan's Lady


11. Lady Slings the Booze


12. The Druids: Celtic Priests of Nature


13. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep


14. Warriors of the Heart The review on Amazon sounded like this a definite book to go over well in my life currently...


15. The Green Consumer


16. The Half-Blood Prince


17. The Green Consumer's Shopping Guide


18. Pagans and the Law


19. Radical Honesty


20. Tailchaser's Song


21. Godbody


22. The Stranger


23. Ancestors of Avalon


24. Something MYTH,Inc


25. Reading the Tarot

Thanks to those who helped get together most of this.

You're missing 3 h2g2 books, but they weren't his best work.

I would add this to you're list, they are my faves:

Albert Camus - The Stranger, it's about being imprisoned in your own indifference. It gave me reason to be alive a few years ago.

Douglas Adams - The long, dark tea-time of the soul, it's about the interconnectivity of... well... everything.

Oo Oo Oo and read Smack. I dont remember the author atm, but it's about life in the 1980s brit-punk scene. Very real story.

Let me add another work by Camus (all of whose writing is worth reading): " The Myth of Sisyphus." It starts out with "There is only one truly serious philosophical question and that is suicide" and goes on to affirm the value of life lived without hope or faith.
