anyone ever read the Lord of the Flies? That book was nutty. Poor Piggy.

Oh man, and I love stephen king too, I don't know why I didnt mention his books. "It" was the only book that ever scared me... I read it in the third grade =oP

Mary Shelley is another good one. Interview with a Vampire was tight.
WW2 books are bada$$ too. Reading about down right crazy adventures through nazi held territory and gestapo dudes hunting em and killing em and defectors and all that stuff is sweet. Vietnam era books are awesome too.
