''The 5o Greatest NHL Players of All Time'' by Steve Dryden and Michael Ulmer. I must have read this book a thousand times. Everytime I'm in the bathroom... I take it with me. I take it on the bus. I take it on long trips. I read it in bed. |

William R. Gibson - Neuromancer Cyberpunk story, When you read this you'll find the movie 'The Matrix' just a laugh. One of the best SF-like books I read. Jack Vance - Tschai Guy trapped on a weird planet trying to make his way back home. |

Stanislaw Lem - "The futuristic congress" (this should be the correct translation of the title) it's the same guy that wrote 'solaris' another great sf-novell. a little crazy maybe but 'the matrix' was at least inspired by that book. I read all Lem after that start. |

I couldn't finish either F.W. or Ulysses, even though I tried very hard. Another tough one was Gravity's Rainbow by Pynchon, which I did manage to finish. But it took so long I didn't really remember what the hell was going on. Thumbs up! |

Someone recommended to me The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran. I've only just started it, but the writing is superb. On a lighter note, you must read The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Honestly, who mixes sarcasm, sci-fi, and good writing? I love it. |
