  • The Pilgrim’s Regress – LewisBooks
  • Phantom Tollbooth (Reread)
  • Bambi vs. Godzilla  (Reread)
  • The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay – Chabon
  • Freakonomics – Levitt and Dubner
  • A Short History of Nearly Everything – Bryson
  • No Logo – Klein
  • Sir Gawain and the Green Knight – Armitage
  • The Secret History – Tartt
  • Consider the Lobster – Wallace
  • The Year of Magical Thinking – Didion
  • Gilead – Robinson
  • The Tipping Point – Gladwell
  • The Road – McCarthy
  • Life of Pi – Martel
  • War and Peace – Pevear and Volokhonsky
  • Bad Science – Goldacre
  • White Teeth – Smith
  • The Plot Against America – Roth
  • Everything is Illuminated – Foer
  • Eats, Shoots, and Leaves – Truss
  • If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things – McGregor
  • Blank Slate – Pinker
  • The PowerBook – Winterson
  • Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned – Tower
  • The Ascent of Money – Ferguson

I also recently got some great suggestions from friends on Facebook which I need to look up.  Do you have any more suggestions of book I need to read?  Or have you read any of these?  Would you recommend them?
