Just finished a book called "A Year Without Made In China." It was ok. Tried to read one about Thomas Paine. Didn't do so well. Any recommendations?

Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins is excellent.
The World According to Garp by John Irving.
Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky is an interesting read.
I just finished reading The Sun also Rises by Hemmingway and it was great, but not everyone likes his style.

The Godhead Trilogy by James Morrow

The premise is that God dies (in the first book his 2-mile long corpse literally plummets to earth) and humans have to cope with a post-theistic world, one which we have have proof of creation by an old, white male.

Its amazing.

I just finished re-reading Slaughterhouse 5 again......brilliant.

I started re-reading Catcher in the Rye last night.
