It's funny that I keep going back to books that I have already read years ago, but there's just something about the writing that I really enjoy. The Test of the Twins from the Dragonlance series is one such book. I think the whole series in general is something to read due to the great characters and writing.

A book that I recently began reading that might come off a bit weird for the time is Left Behind. Really interesting read so far, although it is a little heavy on the bible references and religion in general. But it's an interesting take on the concept of the Rapture.

I found it at a Border's liquidation for 60% off. Always wanted to read a Schopenhauer but never got around to it until now. Great, great read.

Finished this not so long ago. Natsume Soseki is Japan's Writer (that's right, with a capital W.) The novel uses satire to great effect to criticize general human behavior and some of Japan's Meiji period trends.

Tom Stoppard wrote a brilliant joke about this great novel in his Travesties.

"What did you do in the Great War, Mr. Joyce?"

"I wrote Ulysses, what did you do?"

I've already read several McCarthy novels, including his masterpiece Blood Meridian. Supposedly, Suttree is his other magnum opus. Judging by the first paragraph, I'd say that's about right.

Game engine design, architecture, subsystem design, etc. Very good too. Written by one of the Naughty Dog guys who made Uncharted & Uncharted 2.
