The diary of Anne Franke.

I just listened to books 1-3 in a series called The Belt by Gerald M Kilby. Cool SciFi, sort of rip off of the last 20 years of popular SciFi plots.
Flann O'Brien- the third policeman Italo Calvino- cosmicomics Umberto Eco- the island of the day before Virginia Lee Burton - Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel
Easy and very readable historical fiction: Anything by Jeff Shaara; anything by Bernard Cornwall
Hard hitting "beat generation", almost anything by James Elroy (American Tabloid, La Confidential; Brown's Requiem)
is pretty good.
The Pillars of the Earth Shogun Musashi Marius' Mules
Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Tom Clancy, Steven King (cocaine fueled books only), Frank Hubert, Robert Heinlein, and Isaac Asimov.
Sorry to bother you, but I'm having a problem writing a stand alone comment, the 'write a comment' button keeps opening google maps for some reason, I can only use 'reply'.
So, , me being a Shirley Jackson fan, I would recommend, The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle.
The Lost Fleet series is pretty good till book 6 I think. The Terms of Enlistment series is really good but kinda peters out towards the end. If you're into Warhammer 40k, Helsreach is great and the audio book is phenomenal. At the Mountains of Madness is a classic. The Repairman Jack series is really good.
That's all I can think of right now. Might post more later when I can take a look at my e-reader.
Give up on fiction and read international news.
Is mostly the same.
Seriously though, get it from 'unreliable off continent sources''.
If you like SF, I suggest Sam Hughes. He has some short stories like this one
And some not so short like "Ra", "Fine Structure" and "Ed" in the section. Just read the 2 first chapters of "Ed" and tell me your not hooked.
