I'm reading a Kama Sutra guide. It's really fun with all the things they advice you to try at the end of each chaper.

I read that one a few years ago :)
Couple other ones along teh same line are Positive Personality Profiles by Dr Robert Rohm. The Magic of Thinking Big by David J Schwartz, Why Men Dont Listen and Women Cant Read Maps, by Alan and Barbara Pease, the books by Norman Vincent Peale and the old classic by Dale Carnegie How to Win Friends...... etc. Loads of books like that about.

Or for a more inspirational "story" type of read .. anything by Og Mandino. :worthy:

The Dan Brown books are a pretty good read. I have just finished reading A Year in The Merde, and have just started reading Merde Actually. Not remotely in the same category but just thought i would say :)

Finished Digital Fortress now, but wondering whether to start Angels and Demons or Lord of Chaos (6th Wheel of Time book). I've gotta say, even tho Digital Fortress was a pretty good read, Robert Jordan's books are amazing :>

I had to read Lord of the Flies for school and hated every minute of it :p Or well, I read the first 40 pages after which I got bored and skipped the rest :>

Reading all of Val McDermid's books at the moment:

The Mermaids Signing
The Wire In The Blood
The Torment Of Others
The Last Temptation
Distant Echo
Killing The Shadows

Mostly about really sick serial killers. Dark, graphic and not for the squimish or under 5's.

Also recently read Story of the Clash which was excellent. Doing a lot of travelling at the moment so lots of reading time.

I can highly recommend Saga of the Exiles by Julian May. Think the first book is called The Many coloured Land, the first of 8 excellent reads.

Currently reading Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds, he writes awesome hard scifi

The unbearable lightness of being (or however it's translated) rocks :).
