Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. Most profound book I've ever read. I learn something new every time I read it.

I'm going to chalk this up partly to me having a RAGING headache and also please note I would rather shoot myself in the foot than huggle anyone, but telling me exactly how I am allowed to post/speak on a public forum is sitting wrong with me right now. Yes, I know I could also choose not to post, but I keep seeing more threads that read like this.
The Poisonwood Bible - Barbara Kingsolver Made me really think more about the US government's interference/involvement in other countries.

The War After Armeggedon - Ralph Peters
Opened with the dedication of:
Dedicated to;
Those who have sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution of The United States,
Against all enemies foriegn and domestic,.....So Help Me God!
Was a work of fiction yet too many parallels were brought forward in thought of what he put on the page and stuff in the book and outside of it were too close to comfort.

I have to think about this, right now it is between Friedrich Nietzsche and Marvel Comics. I'll get back to you later...
Flowers For Algernon - Daniel Keyes which became the basis for the movie Charly.
Was a look at how science was used through surgery to cure retardation and other forms of mental illness and was ground breaking in causing thoughts of what Crighton later made mention of in the Terminal Man which process he made mention of is now being used for controlling Epilepsy and Parkinson's Disease.
(Which is sadly now out of print and very hard to find anymore)

Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
Explored the idea of creating a perfect society and a caste system of the mass produced "new humans" in what was called hatcheries which the author a noted biologist took and wrote this book and in a way showing that conformity to all things was desired by the new society. Which might have had some bearing on the film Gattaca. Which also dealt with genetic manipulation to create a conforming and "new breed", as well as a new society.

It's a story set in a concerntration camp during the second world war. A young Jew boy becomes friends with a german officers son.
Anything about the holocast is always thought provoking but this had me in tears.
Sophies choice is another one. I must remember not to wear eye makeup before watching war type films! lol
