Bleg: Books

These are the books I'm thinking of buying for myself, with the up-coming holiday season discounts:

Non-Fiction:Fiction:Any additional suggestions for books?

You definitely need more fiction. Might I recommend "Mysterious Island" by Jules Verne. It's the only book I re-read every few years purely for the enjoyment.

And as I am a scifi fan the Rendezvous with Rama series (3 books) is excellent. Get by the first book almost as a short prequel then get the second and third.

In the nonfiction category, almost anything by Carl Sagan.

I haven't read the Rendezvous with Rama series - I'll give them a read.

I had to read "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" when I was in HS, and thought it was pretty interesting. I haven't read anything else by Verne, though.

Because if I had a biological clock, I'd definitely hit up the books when it went off.

Actually that does kind of sound like me.

Hmmmmm.

Unfortunately I haven't read very many good books lately. Neverwhere had a pretty good ending. I recently read most of 'Pale Blue Dot' by Sagan and was interested in starting 'The Demon-Haunted World.' I have 'The Pleasure of Finding Things Out' as an audiobook in my car, I'll let you know if it's any good.

I read this post before, but I couldn't think of any suggestions. I think I'm mostly spitting things out now because it's late.
