I've got 2 Barnes and Noble gift cards I'm gonna use soon and I want a good book reccomendation. I've already decided to get Jackson Browne's latest CD hit collection and this really cool sounding book called "Lies My Teacher Never Told Me."
This leaves about $7-8 for another book so please any good classic or sorta current book would be appreciated.

Wow.. This is such a wide topic... I shall think about it and post again later! ;p
I advise a dictionary old bean.
Hang on a minute!
Only you Danno old boy could write I'll come back when I've had a think about it. Corking!

Well, After thinking a bit, I will recommend most ANYTHING by Roald Dahl (yes, I know they are mainly kids books, but I love them), and The Hobbit (I am currently half through it, And really think I should stop trying to 'streach it out' as I've had it since Christmas). Also, I really enjoy the book "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a 'B' Movie Actor" by Bruce Campbell. VERY funny! Also, Some Stephen King books are good. Pet Semetary being my fave of the lot. ;p
Stephen King's great. And Dan, you're right - Pet Sematary is the best one.
But if I had to recommend one book right now, it would be "Silas Marner" by George Eliot.
NO DON'T SHOOT!!! It's actually good. I hated it the first time I read it and then the second time around decided it was actually pretty good. And the TV movie with Ben Kingsley wasn't bad either.

Yay to Silas Marner! In where I live there are classic editions called Wordworth. (not the poet). Only ~$2US a book! Anything George Eliot is good... especially Middle March.
'Anti-Americanism' - by Jean Francois Revel
Argh! Not Silas Marner! Memories of GCSE! Its not a bad book though!...
"Cause Celeb" by Helen Fielding - quite humorous.
"The Awakening & other short stories" by Kate Chopin - interesting stories.
"To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee - just cos it's the best book ever. ;^)

What's GCSE and what's it got to do with SM?
Or do I even want to know? ;D
GCSEs are the exams everyone in the UK takes at the age of 16 as the finale to compulsory schooling.
It stands for General Certificate of Secondary Education.
