This list should only include [[books]] you're reading for fun. If this list gets big enough, this page might be a neat way to get a quick book recommendation. '''Please alphabetize by author's last name.'''
* After you finish the book, or if you have read a book on the list, consider adding a brief rating or review (put two vertical lines after the author's name, then type) and consider appending your name so that people will know whose opinion it is.

|-
|A History of God||Karen Armstrong|-|Second Foundation||Isaac Asimov||I would rate Foundation as the best book I've read in years, but neither Foundation and Empire nor Second Foundation met my expectations, after having read the first book. Still a great series, and there is a good reason it won the Hugo Award for best all-time series.|-|Boober's Colorful Soup||Joanne Barkan|-|The Power Broker||Robert A. Caro
|-
|Autobiography of Red||Anne Carson
|-
|The World Crisis: 1911-1918||Sir Winston Churchill
|-
|Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell||Susanna Clarke
|-
|State of Fear||Michael Crichton
|-
|The Unbearable Lightness of Being||Milan Kundera
|-
|Girl With the Dragon Tattoo||Stieg Larsson
|-
|Freakonomics||Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
|Cryptonomicon||Neal Stephenson||I like this book so much that I am reading only a few chapters a night so that it will last as long as possible. ([http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=07djd 07djd])
|-
|Quicksilver||Neal Stephenson||I recommend this entire trilogy (Quicksilver is the first, The Confusion is the second and in my opinion best, and The System of the World is third). They were by far the most fun books I read in 2006, with some interesting background in European history thrown in. (07elb)
|-
|A Confederacy of Dunces||John Kennedy Toole
|-
|Niebla||Miguel de Unamuno
|-
|Rabbit, Run||John Updike
|-
|Slaughterhouse-Five||Kurt Vonnegut||This book is exceptional in three ways: The writing style, the telling of the story of Dresden, and the main character's being at the same time seemingly crazy and also completely understandable as a person.

|This Boy's Life||Tobias Wolff
|}-|The Razor's Edge||W. Somerset Maugham
