Catch 22. Again.

Very very good book about an American pilot in Ww2. Lots of crazy stuff happens and it's very funny

Band of Brothers: IMO, the book is better than the mini series. The book goes much deeper with the battles.

Ender's Game: Science Fiction. A very good read, and much better than the sequel, Ender's Shadow.

Band of Brothers is good, i suggest We Were Soldiers... Once and Young, it covers both battles in the Ia Drang Vally, commenly known as LZ Xray and LZ Albany.

David Weber's Honor Harrington series is the rock.

Just finished re-reading Rowling's Prisoner of Azkaban the other day. I've got a large history on Alexander the Great I'm working my way through now that's pretty good.

I just finished The Things They Carried. its a book about a platoon in Vietnam. it was actually required for school, although I still liked it.

Just got done "The Magic of Recluse" series. Before that was the "Sword of Truth" novels, which the fiance is now getting through. Currently reading the "Dragon's Return" series which is fucking awesome, even if it is long (a dozen books, each one a thousand pages or so).

After im done this i'll probly read Orson Scott Card's "Enders Game" series again. The true series, not that Ender's Shadow crap. Enders Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, Children of the Mind.

Are the rest of the books so... twisted and gripping?

"If I Die in a Combat Zone (Box Me Up and Ship Me Home)" is by the same author, Tim O'Brien. It's also a great read if you enjoyed "The Things They Carried."

Right now I'm reading the "Econoguide Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando 2004".

It's actually really interesting, it talks about the history of the parks, and it points out all these interesting facts that are hidden in the parks. I won't say what some are, because there's a good chance it'll be used for a Mobilization activity
