The Pub's Unofficial Must Read Book List. * 1
    #10358702 -

List your must read books, maybe I'll combine all of 'em into one list, and sort them with a poll once we get a bunch of them.

-In no particular order-

The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
The Dharma Bums
Coming of age in the milky way
the dancing Wu li masters
Dante's inferno
Everyman: From Simple Numbers to the Calculus
the giver
My boyscout handbook:tongue2:
the illuminatus
the hobbit
the lion the witch and the wardrobe
zen mind beginner's mind
starship troopers
the call of the wild
fight club
great expectations
dance of the fallen monk
a peoples history of the world
the age of reason
1984
the art of warfare......I definitely didn't understand the depth of this book the first time through.



They're not the greatest books ever written or anything, but they're all books that made an enormous impression on me at various points in my life. They're the books that I would make sure I had available if I had a kid, and that's the point.

Anyway, that should get the list started.:awesome:

The Universe In a Nutshell (I like Hawking)
In Search Of Captain Zero
A Land Remembered (good read if you live in Florida, it might be hard to relate or find interesting for others)
Fight Club
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, So Long and Thanks for All the Fish (Douglass Adams is good)

PiHKAL
TiHKAL

I've finished PiHKAL and I'm half way through TiHKAL. Both are incredible books and both have influenced my own thoughts quite a bit. I definitely recommend them.

BTW, seeing as this is a thread about literature, I should probably point out that unofficial is spelt wrong :foreheadslap:.

Steven Erikson's

A Tale of the Malazan Books of the Fallen series defines the term epic.

Fantasy lovers check it out, first installment is Gardens of the Moon.

Additionally, by Robin Hobb, The Farseer, Liveship traders, Tawny Man and Soldier's Son trilogies are great fantasy reads as well.

"We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that our eyes once watered."
-Tom Stoppard

"He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man."
-Samuel Johnson

I will be a cancer upon you, ravaging all that you love and sundering your beliefs. Then, and only then, once you have fallen so far and are but a shell of that which you once were, I will grant you your every dream.
Only to crush them all before your eyes. You doubted my willpower, you abused my generosity, and now you will recognize my cruelty.
-Anonymous
