bump i want more suggestions

[spaceman]

A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson

[Selkie]

If you want a REALLY simple, but entertaining book,

I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell - Tucker Max. It's hilarious

Also, as JMV mentioned, Dawkins. I've been meaning to pick up The God Delusion. I heard it is good.

American Psych by Bret Easton Ellis is one of my favorite books. It's pretty much incredible.

[strongbad]

Yeah I was planning on picking up I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell. I think I'm also going to get Less Than Zero, which is the prequel to the book snorkel suggested.

Dawkins has better books.

The Selfish Gene will change the way you think about life.

Just start with Rules of Attraction, it's basically Less Than Zero with a lot more going on (and different but similar setting). All his books are breezy reads though (Imperial Bedrooms which came out this month, despite the nice cover, isn't really worth reading)

I just had a barnes and nobles giftcard for like a full year until earlier this August when I stopped in a store looked at the marvel and dc books that they had, and ended up walking out with Hot tub time machine and I still have it to this day.

[burzumfan420]

[Boogus Epirus Aurelius]

You obviously haven't read any Eliis then.

obviously not, i am illiterate

[Boogus Epirus Aurelius]

No, I wasn't implying anything like that. Ellis often refers to elvis in several of his books and it's sort of a running theme to name his books after such.
