oops–that should read “The World Almanac and Book of Facts”–not “The World Book Atlas”.

Coming up as soon as I got a better handle at the RSS stuff… right now I appear to be failing in RSS 101… I’d rather give the button full props when I have a good RSS to go into it.

I’m learning though, so I do plan on having your button ASAP. Its a nice bit of software

Hmmm I’m not much of a poetry buff.

I just re-read animal farm for the 3rd time about 2 months ago.
I’ve read some poe in high school..
I also read the google story too. as well as battelle’s “search”. Both good boooks.

I haven’t heard of most of the other, but i’ll be sure to read the descriptions on Amazon.

Fear: A Cultural History is quite good;
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy is quite good (long though);
Animal Farm by George Orwell is a keeper;
Bram Stoker’s Dracula is a favourite;
Anything by H.P. Lovecraft (shorter stories)
Anything by Edgar Allan Poe (short stories/poetry recommended);
The Google Story (a thorough and entertaining history);
Tony Robbins’ books are surprisingly good;
Will o’ the Whisp is a wonderful existential read (though heavy in the same way Donnie Darko was);
Roverandom by J. R. R. Tolkien is a lesser known hit;
The Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien;
Anything by Lermontov (especially poetry);
Pablo Neruda’s sonnets (powerful stuff);
…
That should be enough to get you by…
