Recommend me some books

[okayplayer]

I would like to do some more reading (I go on spurts where I read, and then I don't read for like 6months), and would like some suggestions on what I should read. Thanks.

A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick.

It's a scifi-ish novel mostly about drugs. Same author who wrote the stories that were the basis of the movies Bladerunner, Total Recall, etc

If you like baseball try "Mind Game". I read The Commanders by Bob Woodward recently and enjoyed it. If that would interest you...

Would WW2 books be of interest? You really should have posted some more specific guidelines or something.
