    I just finished The Grapes of Wrath. I'd like to read Walton now by Henry David Thoreau. I used to be big on the little fiction books and such. Now I like to read like military intelligence books and that kind of thing(Kyle Burns, Tom Clancy, etc.), and I've kind of grown a taste for more sophisticated literature. Like I said, I want to read Walton, Catcher in the Rye, 1984, Brave New World, and a couple other books, but I don't think I'll have time before school starts, and I don't think I'll have much free time while school's going on.

    The 'Artemis Fowl' series (by Eoin Colfer) is a must read for anyone with an imagination and a 5th grade education.

    Ray Bradbury, Chuck Palahniuk, and Friedrich Nietzsche. They all write pretty interesting books.
    I mainly read comics and graphic novels though. Very few books keep my attention.

    Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series are great to read, and also anything by Stephen King.
