As a child I really liked Terry Deary's Horrible Histories.

He's athiest I think, you would like ihm

He's not an atheist. He's just not an idiot. He is normal. That's how he should be. It's always the crazy religious who need to give names to everyone

Give names to yourselves weirdos, and leave mentally healthy people alone.

I wasn't insulting him, it's just that he hints he doesn't seem to like Christinanity in his books, so I figure he is atheist.

I liked Harry Potter growing up. Now I'm starting War And Peace.

The Bible is an inspirational book

War and Peace is long but good

I prefer Tom Reiss' "The Black Count", a book whose author I cannot remmebr called "1494: How a family fued in Medieval Spain divided the world in half". as for fiction, i am starting Ernest Hemingway's' "For whom the bell tolls"

Okay Best Books Made In Existence:
Any and all books by Dr. Seuss (How can you not love this guy!)

I usually like a lot reading about Roman history...

it brings up rodrigo. it begins in the castilian court between Isabella and her half-brother enrique, then it begins to spam out to encompass both Isabella, her husband, as well as King John of portugal; then it moves forward toward the americas and eventually the growing cold war between european nations vying for colonial supremacy

Nineteen-Eighty Four by George Orwell, for a serious one.
1632 by Eric Flint, for a humorous one.
On the Beach (can't remember author) for an interesting read.
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad is also pretty dark.

A book I find really interesting is 1984 by George Orwell. I've read the book four times and each time I learn something new from it.

Yeah that's a great one. I read it while I was teenager (there was no AW at that time).
Around the same time, I read The Time Machine which is rly good too (I didnt see the movie tho, it seems rly bad)

A few books on consumerism and politics you guys should check out:

Consumed: How Markets Corrupt Children, Infantilize Adults, and Swallow Citizens Whole - on why we waste our life with nonsense

The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy And Its Geostrategic Imperatives - script for the Ukraine and so much more

The Liberty Amendments - on the dysfunctional American republic

Making It: Radical Home Ec for a Post-Consumer World - on post-consumer society

Post-Democracy - on post-democratic society

And, if you're German: Selbst denken - examining why we just keep on living like we do even though we all know it's not sustainable nor right

Anything Sci Fi but definitely Dune by Frank Herbert or Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein <3

You should read Fahrenheit 451 if you liked 1984.

Hey, I'm actually reading this book now with a friend. It's really good so far. Currently reading part two

Thanks for recommending!

Yes horrible histories best books

Anything from Foucault, Derrida, Butler or Levinas. Spivak and Baumann are also great.
