    Any book that you like.

    I am particularly interested in reading some good non-fiction.

    Crisis of Conscience tops my recommendations, I think it is one of the best books I've ever read. But you don't have to recommend apostate books.

    Currently I am enjoying Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People. I am enjoying it and trying to take the advice to heart - namely, don't be so negative!

    Any books that would help me to grow in my understanding of that mysterious creature commonly known as "woman" would be helpful also!

    Well I don't get a chance to read much anymore, but back in the day I read a really well written book on the JFK assasination. I don't know if you're in to this type of non-fiction, but it's well researched and although I don't buy the whole thesis, it makes a good case and it is very interesting.

    A book I enjoyed was " JOSHUA" By Joseph F.Girzone. This was a priest who retired from the priesthood. I am not a Roman Catholic But I thought this was a good book-It is a novel.... & his follow up was "Joshua & The Children" good reading for me at least.

    Thanks for all the recommendations so far.

    Anybody else? What are some of your favorite books?

    I remember reading Truman Capote's In Cold Blood in high school, I can't remember ever enjoying a book so much, I tore through it in a couple of days.
