[MichaelErskine]

Thomas Pynchon's "Gravity's Rainbow" and the Iain M. Banks Culture novels are my favourite fiction. For non-fiction I like well written autobiographies from interesting people.

THE PENDRAGON SERIES!!!!! I can honestly say that it is the best series/books I have ever read. I recommend it to anyone and everyone! The first 2-3 books are kind of boring but after that it's amazing!

Some that I liked a lot:

- Gödel, Escher, Bach
- 1984
Finnish translations of
- Les Enfants du capitaine Grant and
- The Lord of the Rings

These days I read mostly about programming, math, natural sciences and history, though; the real world is so interesting that I don't care much about fiction any more. Except for some good scifi, of course.

Ok. Thanks
I didn't google it because I didn't wanna ruin any big part of it. and I didn't wanna just straight read it if it wasn't my style. But when I finish Paul Shaffer's book I will read it.

I bought it, but I've had no time to read it. I've heard it's basically what George Orwell, the author, would imagine America as in 1984 or something like that.

High five to the people that mentioned Hofstadter's GEB.

The Hitchhiker's Guide series, the Wheel of Time series, most of Franz Kakfa's work, most of H P Lovecraft's work, House of Leaves, Neuromancer, and many more. Just finished The Tao of Pooh, currently reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, which is fantastic.

Honorable mentions go to Dune, Guns Germs and Steel, The Neverending Story, The Physics of the Impossible, the Mistborn series, A Song of Ice and Fire, Titus Andronicus, The Road to Reality, and Alice in Wonderland.

Seriously? I've used it before. I know when I've used it, it has been very fitting though.
