And The Nausea by Satre (I forget the french spelling)
The Republic by Plato

The Republic is good... its just that I had to read it for class.... somehow that takes away something from the book... although there have been a few exceptions...

yeah, the Han Solo ones were cool, but natrually of course, Han being a badass and all...
Black Hawk Down - by Mark Bowden
Probably my favorite book ive ever read, much easier to follow and gave much more in depth background and stuff than the movie. The story is only made greater by the fact that all that stuff actually happened, and everything those men did was real...

Pratchett is the best.

pratchett seems to be following copy & paste templates a bit much lately for my tastes. At least one book recently is alleged to have been put together from ideas contained in fan mail to him. Don't get me wrong I like the Guards Guards mini-series a lot but I've gone off his work a lot compared to the early days.
i'm enjoying "berlin - the downfall 1945" by antony beevor at the moment. this & his previous stalingrad book are absolute quality history. hmm that reminds me, have to get my stalingrad book back from my dad. I know he's a slow reader but he's had it for about 18 months now...
