Hardest book I've ever tried to read and the only book I've ever just given up on. Some day I will return to it. Best to start with Finnegan's Wake or something.

I'm still trying to go through my initial list, but I did add quite a few to it from the recommendations on this thread. Right now I'm reading 1776 and Washington and Caesar.

I'm currently reading, get ready for this because it's very climber nerdy, Freedom of the Hills. You know, the Mountaineer's bible. I borrowed it from a buddy to read up on building anchors, placing trad gear, etc. I haven't even got to that part. I found myself one day sitting at the dog park in Masterson's station in 70-80 weather reading about how to build a snow cave and an igloo. But I'm ready for the next ice age!

I've read it and it's one of my favorite books! I like most of his stuff.... The only book by Quinn that I really hate is The Holy.

Ynp1 (matt) he would tell me how great of a book it was- and I think just for spite I wouldn't read it. A few years later I listened to him... and I can't STOP reading it! I definatly want to read more of his books.

Ishmael is like the atheist bible... very good and will get you full on pentecostal about your lack of belief!!
