If so, what you reading on? Any suggestions or favorites you want to list? I am thinking of doing some reading. I used to read back in the day but haven't in a long time.

'Under a green sky'. It's about mass extinctions of the past and how they correlate to current climate change. It also talks about the paradigm shift from gradual extinction hypothesis to instant extinction.

I'm also going to read 'To Have Or To Be' by Eric Fromm . That book touches upon current human materialism and possessiveness and how humans need to learn to experience nature and things rather than possess.

I like to read, but just can't seem to find the time. I like read to about ancient civilizations and cultures. More into European and Middle Eastern histories. The ancients and they're accomplishments are incredible.

Have you ever read Plato's 'The Republic' ? If so it's a good read. Not the type of book you can fly through, but very very compact with information. His assertions to what lies in a true "just" society is meticulously assembled and analyzed. Definitely one of the most influential books in the last few thousand years.

I am always reading a few books at a time. I listen to audio books while driving and read on my kindle at home. Currently, I am finishing up Atlas Shrugged, which is the best book I have ever read. I am half way finished listening to the audio book of "A Patriot's History of the United States." This book is excellent. It is 40 discs on audio so it takes some time but well worth it. 1984 by George Orwell is a great read and one of my favorites. Any books on Austrian Economics are worth reading if you are eager to learn more about economics and politics. "WE" is the next book I plan to read, along with "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand. All of Rand's books are worth reading if interested in philosophy and if you enjoy some good fiction books too.

I've read anthem, we the living and the fountainhead...all are GREAT books. I have atlas shrugged right here, but the shear size of it is intimidating me. I know its considering to be one of the greatest books written. fountainhead is top 3 for me so far.

Re: Any readers in here??

I hadn't read a good book in a while.

The best 3 that I've ever read though were:

"Body For Life" by Bill Phillips

"The Autobiography of Malcolm X" by Alex Haley & Malcolm X (read this book in both high school & college before buying it. There is so much more to the man than the movie explained.)

"Live Your Dream" by Les Brown (Brown is a great motivational speaker and ex-husband of Gladys Knight. This is a killer book that's very inspirational.)

I just read this book for the second time. It will inspire you! It is an example of what the human will can accomplish against seemingly insurmountable odds.
Of course I read Napoleon Hill and James Allen on a regular basis.
