I read this book last summer; easy to read, educational and funny.
Hope all goes well for you with your surgery Soul Patch.

you're welcome.
There is only one book.
The Bible.
I like to read the Dexter series of books since I like the show. Plus just about anything by Dean Koontz
What do you usually like to read?
Dies the Fire by S.M Sterling http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dies_the_Fire is the best book I've read in a long time. It's about what happens to the world after a pulse kills everything electric. Good read.
Awesome, thanks guys. Im out to the Barnes and Nobles in a few, and ill take a look at the reccomendations here.
Hopefully if all go's well im out of the hospital by Friday!
Where the Red Fern Grows
Anarchist Cookbook is a must read.
Great plug. By the way, if you've gotten into the Sunrise Lands (first book of series 20+ years later) the author has the first ten chapters up of the sequel on his website, called The Scourge of God.

anything by Michael Chabon
I'll let you borrow a bunch of my Texas Fish and Games mags
Yeah but all the pages are stuck together
7 Seconds or Less- Jack McCallum (about the PHO Suns)
To the Hoop- Ira Berkow (non-fiction about pickup hoops)
Watership Down- Richard Adams (Story about talking rabbits, it'll keep you entertained)
Old School- Tobias Wolff (it's a fiction book about the process of writing fiction. Pretty good)
The Brothers Karamazov- Dostoyevsky (How much time you plan to spend reading?)
Under the Banner of Heaven- Jon Krakauer (If you ever wanted to know exactly why and how much of a ed up cult mormonism is, this book is for you)
Anything by Orhan Pamuk
Anthem by Ayn Rand. It's only about an hour and a halfs read. 3-4 hours for Texans.
Never mind her other books, and change the ending to Anthem. Otherwise fabulous.

Anthem is a dystopian, science-fiction novella by Ayn Rand, first published in 1938. It takes place at some unspecified future date when mankind has entered another dark age as a result of the evils of irrationality and collectivism and the weaknesses of socialistic thinking and economics. Technological advancement is now carefully planned (when it is allowed to occur at all) and the concept of individuality has been eliminated (for example, the word "I" has disappeared from the language). As is common in her work, Rand draws a clear distinction between the "socialist/communal" values of equality and brotherhood and the "productive/capitalist" values of achievement and individuality.
