"Have a Nice Day" by Mick Foley. I just finished this book and if you're
a wrestling fan you'll love it.

i definitely second that recomendation for "zen and the art of motorcycle
maintenance" -- good book

classic reading-----"the count of monte cristo" Alexander Dumas
"the lord of the flies" William Golding


also check out "Still life with woodpecker" by (i forgot)........but an
excellent book, nonetheless.
