I'm not much of a reader, but this book kept me sucked in. It reads like an action movie. It's called "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson. It's a fantastic cyberpunk sci-fi novel. Just read it, I loved it.

I have had this problem, and so, the solution is....

STOP READING FICTION. Fiction generally sucks. It's much better to watch fiction in the form of a Hollywood movie.

If you want some really good books, try Confessions of Economic Hitman by John Perkins, Ecoscience by John P. Holdren (he's a very sick man). Just try reading alternative political books. It's very interesting to understand how the world works.

Fact is stranger than fiction, and I'll tell you: reading into some of the world's inner workings is far more thrilling than any movie you'll watch on TV, either.

These have probably already been said earlier and I don't read often, but Catch-22, Animal Farm, and The Last Lecture. All three have high points, low points, humor, and are deep as a lake.

Drop me a PM to talk about junk, serious or silly.

The Giver kept me reading because it was just so strange.
It's about a community that lives on earth but everything is completely different for them to keep them safe.

one of the only books I've enjoyed.

Gates of Fire.

If you're into war stories, you won't regret it. Best one of it's kind I've ever come across.

Pure awesomeness. You must read it.

There are some excellent classics out there-- my personal favorites being Count of Monte Cristo, Don Quixote, David Copperfield. The Harry Potter series I enjoyed also if you want something more current.
