For an interesting look into a mind with autism,
Amazon.com: Born On A Blue Day: Inside the Extraordinary Mind of an Autistic Savant (9781416549017): Daniel Tammet: Books

For some very funny (yet crude) humer,
Amazon.com: The Alphabet Of Manliness Publisher: Citadel Press: (Author)Maddox: Books

For a different point of view,
Amazon.com: The Real Lincoln: A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and an Unnecessary War (9780761526469): Thomas DiLorenzo: Books

The book by DiLorenzo on that 5onofab!tch Abe has been added to the list. Thanks for the suggestion!

Here are some other great reads from DiLorenzo:

Lincoln Unmasked: What You're Not Supposed to Know About Dishonest Abe

Abraham Lincoln: Friend or Foe of Freedom?
Amazon.com: Abraham Lincoln: Friend or Foe of Freedom? (9781934791059): Thomas J. DiLorenzo, Joseph A. Morris: Books

However, IMHO, one of his best and most important works is:

Just downloaded "Auschwitz" based on the recommendation of my Dad. Said it was an eye-opening read. And it's only $2.99

Added!

Along with Liberty and Tyranny by Levin is Ameritopia. Ameritopia is a heavier read but very well written and informative.
If you want an entertaining read I just read The Patriots. It is a SHTF book that is pretty entertaining. It gets really detailed in a few sections and the characters are poorly developed but the story is exciting.

I read the INGO rules today and came away more confused than before.

Seriously though, I've been reading this novel and it's very awesome: Amazon.com: The Expats: A Novel eBook: Chris Pavone: Kindle Store

The Expats indeed. I am sure it is quite interesting.

Unbroken, true story of ww11 survival, amazing!

Probably one of the best books I have read in some time.

Zamperini's story is truly amazing and Hillenbrand did an excellent job of writing it.

It is a "must" on anyone's list that appreciates the resilence of the human spirit.

Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand
The Creature From Jekyll Island - G. Edward Griffin
The Law - Frederic Bastiat
Common Sense - Thomas Paine
Molon Labe - Boston T. Party (seriously - it's a very entertaining read!)

 

[browncofiddler]

Ditto for "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand ~ definitely one of the best books I've ever read. The story of Louie Zamperini from childhood thru WWII, capture by the Japanese, POW camps and the rest of his life. An outstanding read that will stay with you long after you finish the last page.

A big recommendation for Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell too. Another one that's absolutely unforgettable.

Don't laugh, but I read "Hunger Games" recently. It was really pretty good, and more than a little subversive, which I find ironic. I'm not sure yet if it was intentionally so, or not.

Also, I read Ayn Rand's novella "Anthem." It kinda sucked. I mean, in its time (1937), it was probably very forward-thinking. But, with all the dystopian fiction (and some non-fiction) available, including "Hunger Games," it just doesn't measure up. (I got it for free on my Android, though, so the price was right.)

I also read the Hunger Games series, I enjoyed it. I liked the movie, so I checked the books out, and I can't wait to see the next movie.

Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand
The Creature From Jekyll Island - G. Edward Griffin
The Law - Frederic Bastiat
Common Sense - Thomas Paine
Molon Labe - Boston T. Party (seriously - it's a very entertaining read!)

All good books, though I have to say I am not familiar with the last one.... based on your other suggestions I am putting it on the list.

Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand
The Creature From Jekyll Island - G. Edward Griffin
The Law - Frederic Bastiat
Common Sense - Thomas Paine
Molon Labe - Boston T. Party (seriously - it's a very entertaining read!)

I have to say that Atlas Shrugged may be my favorite. I plan on reading it again, but there are so many I want to read first like The Law and Common Sense. I have read parts of them and quotes from them, but I would like to read them in their entirety.

What is that Molon Labe I have heard that (read that) name before. Can I safely assume what it is about?

 

[PINski1015]

Hitler's Willing executioners is a good one but rather long.

 

[manwithnoname]

Looks like there are some well read folks here!

Keep them coming!

Grave of the Fireflies is an...interesting look at the firebombings in Japan during WWII. Very interesting to see how people reacted to a lack of food etc. The animated movie based on that book is a tearjerker.
