The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer


Now, while it seems like I'm trying to just push my zombie fetish, I really reccommend World War Z. It has a lot about politics, some satire, and it's just all-around genius. It's by Max Brooks.

I personally love the book Men Of Iron, its an old book that came out in the 80s(i think), its a historical fiction, takes place in medieval times, another reason why I love it.

Jurrassic Park by Michael Crichton.

And you should put the authors on the list too.

Oh, and The Lost World, Timeline, Andromeda Strain, Congo, and Eaters of the Dead.

I also reccomend Origin of Species and Decent of Man, both by Charles Darwin.

Meh, I didn't like State of Fear, Airframe, or Sphere, so no.

Add them if you want.
