I have a lot of faves on this list. It's hard to pick just one. :P

And of course I'm taking suggestions!

With it being October you need a good book to freak you out so I recommend The Hot Zone by Richard Preston.

BTW I forgot to say in my previous post that I think it is pretty cool of you do to something like this. More people need to read books. I might have to do this next year.

I will look into that. Thanks!

Also, please feel free to check out my community, 50ayear. It's a support group for crazies like myself who want to do more reading. :)
