Suggest me some books!
 

I read a lot but im at a loss of what to read next. I dont have as much time with dental school being as rediculously time consuming as it is, but i still avg a book every week or 2. Ive read a lot of books so chances are ive read yours but still....throw em out there.

Blindness - Jose Saramago

Re: Suggest me some books!
 

The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins. If you like that, the Blind Watchmaker by same.

Not only are they illuminating and interesting books, you'll easily pwn any christian fundamentalists who ridicule evolution + "intelligent design" tards you encounter.

What's the knock on Chuck? Just overrated because of Fight Club?
