Sam
  1. Mere Christianity,  C.S. Lewis*.  A absolute MUST read.  Got to kinda muscle your way through the beginning, but it is so worth it!  Especially the chapter on Pride.
  2. His Majesty: George Washington, by Joseph J Ellis*.  Really interesting read, although I feel like he tries a little to hard to be "unbiased."  It's George Washington for pete's sake! Lets just all accept that he was the man, and leave it at that.  
  3. Anthem, by Ayn Rand.  Also a must read.  Really short.  Trippy as mess. 
  4. Drive,  An Autobiography  by Larry H Miller*.  Loved it, not boring, the end drags out a little bit though
  5. How to Win Friends and Influence People,  Andrew Carnagie.  Super old, super duper interesting.   Loved it.  Just a short read. 
  6. Freakanomics: A Rogue Economist explores the hidden side of everything, by Steven D. Levitt.  Kinda fun, and or boring, depending on whether or not you like random facts, but I happen to know that you do.
  7. Colonel Roosevelt by Edmund Morris.  VERY LONG.  Kinda slow, still such a good book.  I had no idea Teddy Roosevelt  had such an insane life.
  8. The Alchemist, by Paublo Coelho.  Really short fiction book, but it has a lot of really deep points.  I love it.
  9. The Screwtape Letters, C.S. Lewis*.  This book is a riot, and so interesting, short read. 
  10. The Hobbit, J.R.R Tolkien*.  You have till december to read this, or.. I don't know.  It just seems wrong.
  11. 1984, by George Orwell.  Terrifying.  Gave me nightmares.
  12. Jesus the Christ, James E. Talmage.  Life changing.
  13. Adams v. Jefferson, The tumultuous election of 1800 by John Ferling.  Kinda boring, but still a really good read.
  14. Democracy in America, By Alexis de Tocqeuville.  I would recommend an abridged version, but still really good.
  15. Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand.  HUGE book, but really really interesting, so far at least.
  16. The Chosen, by Chaim Potok.
  17. I haven't read this yet, but I'm about to, and my uncle highly recommended it.  Outliers The story of Success, by Malcolm Gladwell.
