1: John Carter by Lazlo Zalezac Now this is the start of one of the greatest Universes there are. Lazlo has created something that goes way beyond a mere story, he has created the definition of a Universe. Once you read this and the other stories you'll want to take a stroll in the woods on a solstice afternoon.
2: Summer Vacation by Howard Faxon Nice little read when you have a few hours to kill. One mans take on something to do over the course of a few years before he retires. Helps a few people during that time, he also spends a couple of bucks doing it.
I enjoyed it you might also.
