I've read a lot of great books.  It's hard to choose.  The best I've read lately was "Liberty and Tyranny" by Mark Levin.  A must for anyone who cares about America.

Read, am Reading, The Holy Bible, I think some people fail to not see that the Bible will not only lead and guide them in every situation, every event in their life, but that it is more interesting than any book you can pick up at a library. Plus it is all true.

That's a tough one. I really like A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. The Stephen King Dark Tower series is awesome too.

If you like reading about violence, rape, incest, muder, burning and stoning people, then the Buy-Bull is the way to go. There are many other Myths I enjoy more, especially the Greek ones.

Women and Money by Suze Orman. It taught me a lot since I am a single mother and a woman.

That would be in the fiction section right? I'll try and look into it.

Oh god, I have read soo many books throughout my life, it'd be hard to choose just one. I guess it'd have to be Inventing Elliot, I have read that multiple times throughout my life, I still love it.

The Bible.

It has shown me how horrible a game ''Pass it on'' really is.
Hello Mr. Six Pack Of Confidence, I'm glad to see you've already met Mrs. Twelve Ounces Of Loneliness. And Mr. Plastic Cup Politics, I see you’re under the influence of warm beer and the comfort of all your friends, And I see that Mr. Loud Mouth has had his 40 ounce and will pass out.

i agree with shupmeup

to choose one book from the dozens of genres is a near impossibility

for finanace
Rich Dad, Poor Dad - probably one of the best financial books ever written because of the emotional and psychological insight into our decisions and our perceptions

fiction
Robin Cook or John Grisham - anything of theirs

Dante's Inferno - prepare yourself for one heck of a ride !

Theology
The Bible, The Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants would probably be at the top of my list, but it remains to be seen what awaits us


I heard Kurt Vonnegut's - Cats Cradle or something is a must read, but I have not yet done so

Congratz to you for reading this book, Suze has a lot of pinache

I really enjoyed hearing her speak of multi-tasking and how she is against it when everyone else seems to be promoting it

So many books... I'll go with The Sot-Weed Factor by John Barth.

I've always really liked The Giver. And from my childhood I'd say The Phantom Tollbooth.
