The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut I had never even heard of this book until August. I've only read Breakfast of Champions prior to this. The description of the harmoniums and everything about the entrance into, living in and then leaving the caves of Mercury was beautiful to read.
You've probably been told this before, but Slaughterhouse-5 is required reading. Add it to your list!
Probably the best novel I've read in almost a decade. It took me a little bit to get into it, but if you read it, trust the messenger. It's worth the work.
i read this before the movie came out. LOVED it. one of my favorite books ever. The movie sucked and if I hadn't read the book, I'd be clueless as to what was going on.

I was considering getting the audiobook of this, but I saw the movie a while back and did not enjoy it, so I was hesitant to get the book. Will probably go for it when I finish the one I'm on now.

Started reading A Series of Unfortunate Events, and they're good but already a bit formulaic. I didn't read them all when I was younger, so I figured I could give the series another shot.
Last great book I read was Flowers for Algernon. Considering trying out Lolita again.
It might not really fit the Bonnaroo crowd, but I just finished Discos out... Murders In! It's about the gangs in the hardcore scene in southern Cali in the early 80's. It's some seriously messed up shit. It's from a first person perspective of a guy named Frank the Shank. I don't know how many people on here have had any association with any punk or hardcore scene, but it explains a lot of why there are "crews" in a lot of those scenes, and that it started really early. Regardless, it's a really good read.
I didn't know he was coming out with another one! That's an awesome premise though, I think about that all the time. I use that logic as conversational fodder pretty consistently and am fervently combatted. I reckon that book will give me the warm, realist fuzzies.
I forgot about this thread. Recently, I've been studying different relationship configurations and questioning why we frame them like we do so these are the ones I've read that were specifically along that train of thought. Great book, on the kink side but very informative and a quick and easy read.
This is more of a how to go about having a healthy relationship where there are more than two people involved. It's the nuts and bolts with some experiences thrown in and questions to ask yourselves.
One of my favorite books that I've read recently. It is focusing on the links between how our closest relatives in the animal world match up with habits that hunter and gatherers had. There is a lot of going through other studies, findings, and commonly held beliefs and picking them apart.
A helpful book for any relationship style.
I wanted to read this as soon as I saw her TED talk. This book has a long about crowdfunding and the hardships that we have asking for and taking help. It also covers her journey to where she is now, how she built her following, and the way the music industry is changing.

This is one of the most compelling things I've read in years. It's a nonfiction piece about a hotel owner who for decades spies on his guests having sex from the attic. He keeps meticulous notes of everything he observes, both sexual and common. There are so many ethical dilemmas at play and the writer of the piece is complicit in many of them. The writing is insanely good. It's a long read but 100% worth it:
I just finished this. It took a bit to get into. He really likes to develop the characters before letting them run free. Still, worth the time.
