my favorite is probably It by Stephen King... great book... also, I'm reading the Wheel of Time series now, currently I'm almost finished book 5, and I'm getting book 6 for Christmas... that's an awesome series... |

selfish gene- richard dawkin evolution isn't what it used to be- ? fractal geometry of nature- mandelbrot (but only because of the main idea it set, the general reading was torture) natures numbers- ? patterns in nature- ? the orion book of evolution- ? encyclopedias are the best reading because they are so generalized on many subjects, not a single one. |

1. Siddhartha (hermanne hesse) 2. Brave New World (a. huxley) i'm currently reading "requiem for a dream" by hubert selby (jr.?), and i have a feeling that it's going to take this spot or the #2 spot. But i have to throw in "cat's cradle" by k. vonnegut, too. |

I really liked the first dark tower by steven king, "the gunslinger". That was one of my favorite works of fiction. I also read the second in the series, but that was totally weird, still pretty good but not as good as the first. It got weird when he started finding doors to portals in new york city or something. Then I read a bit of the 3rd, only the part where the giant bear was crashing through the woods, and a little ways after, but it sort of lost the feel of the original "gunslinger" so I stopped reading it... |

Illuminatus Trillogy - Robet anton wilson and robert shea Almost anything by Kurt Vonnegut I just read Zen and the art of motercycle maintenance and it was very good. A bit dated, but good nonetheless. Snow Crash by Niel Stevenson is also pretty fun. |

One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest - Ken Kesey A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien those aren't the best, just the one's currently on my mnd. Hitchhiker's Guide is great, the funniest books I've ever read. Also the MYTH Inc. Books by Robert Aspirin. I don't know how popular these were or if anyone remembers them but they were fuckin' great. |

dude if you like english (well, scottish, really) humour with a sick twist, a tad horror, sometimes some sci-fi and always truly great stories: check out iain banks. iain m. banks is his pseudonym for his insanely imaginative scifi work. trust me on this one!! |
