Good but a bit outdated. \n\nWinning with People by J. Maxwell is good.  Making Rain by A. Sobel is good too.

I agree- are you talking fiction or non-fiction?\n\nFor non-fiction, it's difficult, but I really love "Pomosexuals" by Carol Queen and Lawrence Schimel- just for showing all the awesome varieties of sexual and gender expression, and the intersections of each.\n\nFor fiction, I doubt there's been anything quite so to the point and wonderful as Leslie Feinberg's "Stone Butch Blues".  It was both an immensely touching story, a social and political message, and remains one of the very few explanations of butch lesbian/stone butches/TG butches.  Perfect.

Joseph Heller's "Catch 22" is great. You should also read Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mocking Bird." That is a truly awesome book.

Of that list... my personal favorite is Forrest Gump. Triumph and tragedy in the same story...that is life. Forrest Gump as a story may exaggerate life, but it's still life. And the grace and humility with which he deals with both success and loss are examples we could all follow a little more often. :-)

Here's a resource. Go check it out. For more, just type "T.S. Eliot 'the Wasteland', mythology" into your search engine and look it up, the old-fashioned way!\n\nDon't forget Five-paragraph construction, especially on a 12-page paper!

"Bad Girls of the Bible" and "Really Bad Girls of the Bible" are both great books.  Also DC Talk has a book called "jesus freaks" which is a bunch of short stories about martyrs around the world, excellent book and a quick read.\n\nPurpose Driven Life is a good book as well. \n\nIf you want a good book to read in regards to eduction as well, "Reading the Bible for All it's Worth" (or it may be How to Read the Bible for All It's Worth). Very good book to help you discern what you are reading and the relevance of it.\n\nCase for Christ and Case for a Creator are by Lee Strobel.  He was an anthiest set out to disprove God/Christ and instead became a believer.\n\nLeft Behind series, Present Darkness series (although it can spook you) etc are all books that focus on tribulation/revelations.

Persuasion and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, they are simply the best classics that have such relevance and resonance even today. Her characters are realistic identifiable and no one is perfect or without a glimmer of humanity. I also love Going Postal by Terry Pratchett I think it's his most cynical and insightful book since Small gods and wonderfully parallels all aspects of our world today.
