Reading Fight Club is just as amazing as the movie. I would definitely recommend that.

Tao of Pooh and Ishmael are also life changers.

Anything by Dennis Lehane; Shutter Island, Gone baby Gone, Mystic River... Or Cormac McCarthy; The ROad, No Country For Old Men.

Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is pretty heavy but if you can get through it its worth it.

tao of pooh/ te of piglet
anything by michael crichton

The Screwtape Letters (and pretty much anything else by C.S. Lewis).

Reading gone girl right now on vacation. Great for that purpose. 😄

Just read 'Sycamore Row' by Grisham.  Those who like him will like this one as it is really a throwback to the great reads of Grisham years back.  Sort of a sequal to A Time to Kill, the novel goes back to the 80's with Jake Briggance's 2nd big trial. It is old Grisham once again -- in all his easy to read splendor.

Just finished Tis by Frank McCourt. Now I gotta go back and read Angela's Ashes.  Mixed feelings. Can't exactly decide if it's the best thing I ever read or the worst

The new Pynchon was really good.

now reading "sharp objects" by gillian flynn who wrote gone girl. all i can say is that woman must be kind of messed up. whoa!

[macbrian]

really enjoyed 'The Circle' by Dave Eggers

If anyone is into fantasy of the epic sort, The Way Of Kings and Words Of Radiance are more that sufficient RR-Martin fodder.

How was this? Its next on my list.

The new Pynchon was really good.

Not sure which is his newest or which of his you're referring to but I've read Inherent Vice twice and I love it. Can not wait for the Paul Thomas Anderson adaptation to come out in December.

Not new by any means but I just finished the first book of The Black Company.  It was pretty good...worth checking out if you're a fan of fantasy.

Inherent Vice is a lot of fun (definitely 'Light' Pynchon) and I'm excited for the film as well, but I was referring to Bleeding Edge:
