Friend loaned me that book awhile back, started reading but never got a chance to finish. That book is heavy reading, almost feel like I need a notepad while I'm reading it.

As for me, I'm currently reading this

This is a book that I feel EVERY black person NEEDS to read. And I'm only halfway through.

I'll hopefully get started with The Stranger by Albert Camus today.

The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka was quite the read.

this is gonna be a re-read for me. i remember reading this back in highschool but i couldnt even begin to tell you what it was about

i hope i can find it laying around somewhere in here 

appreciate all the suggestions ppl 

the stranger is a fairly easy read, you can probably finish it in a day. after you're done reading it google the theory that bohemian rhapsody by queen is supposed to be made after it. also "killing an arab" by the cure.

i was reading the autobiography of malcolm x, but had to stop because of my english class. from the first 70 pages or so i really enjoyed it. homer now consumes my life.

Freaknomics
The Art of War

I have Women: A Novel by Charles which I plan to get too soon

Yea dude/dudet I've already read the first two books in the trilogy. . 
Unfortunately the second book in the trilogy was not nearly as good as the first one, albeit the author decided to leave the second book with a huge cliffhanger. Forcing the reader to read the 3rd and final installment in the trilogy. 

The republic was also a good read, however Plato's "perfect world" or "utopia" is just that a perfect world and a utopia. He is able to give the reader something to slug through however like any other philosopher he is just putting his thoughts and ideas into a book. 

If you are into philosophy I would recommend Beyond Good and Evil by Nietzsche. . . Hes a real prick.

1984 is on my list but who knows when I'll get to it. I feel as though it is impossible to complete a list a books that I want to read.

I'm a Philosophy major, I love Nietzsche, dude is something else

I'm currently taking a Philosophy of Religion I/God and Reason course and my professor gave us bits and pieces of Nietzsches works to read. But I did buy the book.
Spurs: Nietzsche Styles is also a really good book, it's rather short and quick to read.

My friend is a Eng/Lit major and we always talk how it seems impossible to get to a decent amount of the list of books that we want to read.

I found it quite interesting that you assumed I started with the last book of a trilogy. Logically that makes absolutely no sense at all.
Philosophy is cool in all but I feel that it has no true backbone. Here and there you come across a philosopher that really gets you thinking eg: Nietzsche more or less because of his attitude then what he was actually writing about. Most philosophers are hypercritical not because they choose to be but because many of their ideals are not practical. But whatever keeps you happy, Cheers!

I've turned a lot of "educational" reading to physics "An elegant Universe" , "A brief History in time" "Einstein: "His life and Universe". It has more of a backbone then philosophy but often times presents the same issues regarding humanity. Plus I like getting mind blown. 

I think the next series of books I'll try get through will focus on "Hyper reality". 

Reading is great just because its a thirst you can never quench.

I got The Snowball like 2 years ago and basically couldn't get past page 200 or so. I'm going to have to start over because i have forgotten everything about the book. Right now started up [color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]The Outliers.[/color]

[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Yeah I'm about 30 chapters in (pg 300/800+).. When I first started, couldn't get past the first 10 pages, but stuck with it.. Dudes transition from young hustler to millionaire at 30 (as he predicted) is just [/color]

[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]I purchased The Outliers as well, only read two chapters.. I'll finish it sometime this Summer.[/color]
