I liked books like The Crysalids and 1984. What are some good books like these? future science fiction types.

speaking of the hitchhikers guide, just read it. 9/10
the narration is just so awesome that the movie just fails so miserably next to the book.
the perks of being a wallflower: 8.5/10
i think everyone can relate to parts of this book. cant wait for the movie.

Any novel by Bentley Little.
Great horror style. I recommend starting off with Dominion.

This is a mentoring book primarily for the 20-to-40-year-old with entrepreneurial aspirations. Many older folks will also derive considerable inspiration from the life and business lessons contained in Get Smarter.
In examining his own life Seymour Schulich, a Canadian billionaire and philanthropist, realized that at age 20 he-like others his age-knew very little and was aware of that fact. At 30, he writes, one thinks one has acquired a lot of wisdom.
Upon later reflection, however, he realized he knew very little at that age, too!

Has anybody read Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol?
Not gonna lie, I loved A&D and The Da Vinci Code.
Hearing mixed things about it, mostly negative though. Should I even bother?

Bumping an old thread.
Thoughts on the book "Competitive Strategy: Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors"
How friendly is it to someone with no background at all in finance/investment?
Recently finished "Good fats bad fats" by gary taubes. The dude takes a very strong stance for the points he makes and puts up good arguments for it too

Girlfriend in a Coma - Douglas Coopland
really good read, It's local too so you'll recognize the names and places of areas. Mainly takes place in the North Shore area.

Currently on blue ocean strategy
intriguing so far, it complements alot of the ideas that I can come to good terms with. It's when they start illustrating concepts by drawing upon real-world examples that I might show some disagreement with

halfway through enders game actually. its not bad, but its still just building up.
also read hokkaido highway blues, about a canadian who hitch hikes through japan. well written but a lot of anti japanese sentiments that were kind of counter to what i expected while reading the book.

finished good boss, bad boss - dr. robert sutton
even though some of his points can come across as being common sense, they are key principles that we often leave out/neglect in our daily lives and he is able to draw upon them with great insight. He really likes to illustrate concepts through examples in the corporate setting that I find to be really interesting and relatable.
great read 8/10

Hannibal and Me by Andreas Kleuth. A good book about how to achieve success and learn from failure.
