It is finished. My Masters that is. so now I have the liberty to read any and everything I want. I have compiled quiet a collection of "books to read" in my own library, however, I want to know what books you recommend as "must reads".
What's on your must read list?
What's on your favorites list?
What's on your "don't waste your time" list?
Fair warning: I don't read fiction unless it is a "classic". But I'm open to suggestions and I really want to get reading so let me know!!!

No Fiction?....tisk tisk.
One recent memoir I read was "Her Last Death". It is a bout the relationship between a woman and her mother. It is an easy quick read.
Some Classics that I will always love... The Count of Monte Cristo. The Plague (I know we had to read it in High School but it is so much better the second time) anything by Camus is great. The Great Gatsby (again so much better the second time). Wuthering Heights (darn you Heithcliff you get me every time). Memoirs of a Geisha...ok technically that is not a classic but it leads me into some other great books you should try...

i don't know if you would consider it a classic, but I've been reading the Chronicles of Narnia. It's such an easy and fun read, good for summer.
but, I'm sure you've tackled most of my most favorite books, "searching for god knows what" by D. Miller, "I am not, but I know I am" or "the air I breathe" by Louie Giglio, "the pleasures of God" by J Piper, or for something completely different, "confessions of a street addict" by jim cramer, the "mad money" guy from CNBC. I'm in the middle still, but it's great.
