Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk.
Even if you've seen the movie, you have to read this book.

How about: Understanding Marijuana; a new look at the scientific evidence by Mitch Earleywine. (of course you were expecting me to recommend this kind of book...)
this book really puts everything into perspective, slammed with undeniable proof and facts. http://books.google.tt/books?id=r9wP...with-thumbnail

Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10
By: Marcus Luttrell Perhaps the best book I've read in ten years. Read the book, goto crossfit.com and try the "Murph" workout named in honor of the Lt who died during this mission. |

Anything by John Grisham; Finished the appeal back in January-great book, so is The Firm, Pelican Brief, King of Torts, all of those books are excellent. Reading The Innocent Man right now, but if your into legal thrillers-hes the guy to read.
