Atlas Shrugged

read Ender's Game. It's phenomenally well written science fiction.

I'm reading "Surely you are joking, Mr. Feynman". I'm about 100 pages into it, and it's a pretty cool read.

Surely You're Joking Mr Feynmann is a good read.

I think the Feynman book is great! He is a great storyteller and humble to boot.

Surely you are joking, Mr. Feynman.

Daemon and Freedom TM by Daniel Suarez. It will rock your world trust me.

Recent favorites of mine: Anathem - Neal Stephenson

The Black Swan

Gun, Germs, and Steel - Jared Diamond.
