    1984 by George Orwell. Proving a harder read than animal farm.

    ^ I'm not sure with dark humor though but a good book...I could recommend Veronica Decides To Die by Paulo Coelho

    Hahaha. It was okay. I'm intrigued by the book The Vampire Lestat. My boardmate is planning to buy. I could just borrow. lol

    FIFTY SHADES OF GREY: E. L. James

    The most erotic book I've ever read. Bring it on porn. Hahahaha. Christian Grey is an immature human being. I think I'll stop judging him first until I read the other 2 books.

    Hey guys, I'm looking for suggestions. I'm looking for something philosophical. Something like Nietzsche. Fiction/Non fiction, makes no difference.

    Nietzsche is my favorite philosopher. I actually was going to get my bachelor's in political theory because of him. But if you enjoyed him look into Max Weber and John Stuart Mill

    The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I know it doesn't really count (although it is a light novel), but between work, studying for the LSAT and preparing my law school application, I don't have time for anything more demanding than that.
