I keep a list of books I've read and highly recommend here [1]. Almost all of them include the first chapter free (via kindle for web).

Just now I'm reading something I wanted to read for a long time: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The next will be Through the Looking Glass, same author. Amongst the last few books I read, I recommend Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five, Marlen Haushofer - The Wall (although this will be too kafkaesque for some), Fahrenheit 451. I do love Jules Verne as well.

Atlas Shrugged should be known to anyone around here, I guess.. Relating to Atlas Shrugged: Nietzsche - Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Both books were very influential to me when I was younger.

I've just started listening again to the unabridged Audible version of Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle - I couldn't get into the book form but the audio book version is great.

Last few Kindle books I've read were:

See No Evil by Bob Baer, the experiences of a CIA case officer in the Middle East (which influenced the movie Syriana).

Liar's Poker by Michael Lewis, about the Big Swinging Dicks of Wall Street.

Decline and Fall by Chris Mullin, the diaries of one of the more decent members of the former Labour Government here in the UK.
