Default anyone want to reccommend me some books?

I'm going to not be playing poker for a few days and i figured I should read a real book for a change.

The last good book i read that i remember was 1984 by Orwell. I'm really not a big reader but I feel like a dope not reading anything of literary value in a while. I dont even know what type of stuff I like. Maybe a novel or maybe something informative, who knows. Suggestions would be appreciated.

The Curious Incident that Happened to the Dog in the Nighttime

My favorite book ever and all 4-5 other people I know who have read it love it.

If you enjoy spending your time reading 1200 pages of unbelievable, undeveloped characters, far-fetched plot devices, and blatant self-promotion just to discover that capitalism is good and socialism is bad, then I can see how you'd love Atlas Shrugged. If, however, you are already aware of the truth in the (not at all) underlying moral, it's a monumental waste of time.

The only worthwhile reason I can think of to read the book is so you'll understand a few more jokes in The Illuminatus Trilogy. I'll gladly save the OP some time &amp; just explain them when he gets to those parts.
