So here at the apartment in LA we don't have cable. We don't even have an antennae to get the network stations, and to be honest, I kind of like it. It has made me read more, and watch more quality movies, rather than just waste my time away with daytime tv, or shitty summer programming. But here's the thing: I'm out of stuff to read and watch! So

Jimmy Corrigan: Smartest Boy on Earth (the graphic novel) by Chris Ware is currently my favorite book. I also own Acme Novelty Library #17 by Chris Ware, and it's also awesome.

i used to hate non-fic too, but it's been growing on me. Stiff: the Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach is HILARIOUS and really, really interesting. But you've probably already read it. If you haven't, GO GET IT.

Invisible Man by Ralph Ellis is a real classic. I had to read it for a class last quarter and I really enjoyed it. It's not the Sci Fi one, it's completely different from The Invisible Man.

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and Life of Pi by Yann Martel are excellent books that I really loved and really don't take long at all to breeze through. I was in a good mood for days after reading The Alchemist... don't ask me why lol. It was just kinda inspirational.

If you like Sci Fi, I LOOOOOOOVE Joan D. Vinge. She wrote the series that includes Psion, Catspaw, and Dreamfall (I think in that order).

I'd lend all of these to you, but you're across the country lol.

and if you REALLY want to branch out, my favorite poet of all time is Adrienne Rich. I'd suggest renting (or heck, buying if you like poetry) The Fact of a Doorframe which is a collection of her work from 1950 to 2001. half of my copy is highlighted and dog-eared lol.
