I've got to reccommend Bound for Glory by Woody Guthrie. It's kind of an autobiographical road novel, and it doesn't get near the credit it deserves. Only book I ever read that could make 1930's (and modern) America look like a total craphole, and also the only place you'd ever want to be from.

By virtue of the theater company I work for, I read a lot. We adapt novels into stage plays so in the last three years I've read (and then worked on in some capacity): Orwell's 1984, Slaughterhouse-Five by Vonnegut, The Basketball Diaries by Jim Carrol, Grand Central Winter by Lee Stringer, and In the Heat of the Night by John Ball. We are currently in rehearsals for Winkie By Clifford Chase which I would suggest to anyone. It's about a teddy bear who gains sentience, escapes from his house, and is then accused of nine thousand and sixty four acts of terrorism and various other charges ("Corrupting the youth of Athens"). It's hilarious and a very smart read.

13 Things that don't make sense by micheal Brooks read by James adams.
Science.
I'll be getting Card's Enders game. Crowbar tipped the scales with that one.
Also on the listening list will be Tom Clancy's Dead or Alive
Of course these are all a second best to WA!
