Metro 2033... it's incredible.
How do you even get a hold of it? I've done some research, and I have yet to find a local retailer that carriers it. Is it only available through the Internet on Amazon or something?

I know i may seem like a bit of a looser for this, but for me its a book called The Dangerous Journey aka Pilgrims Progress, its an old book written by a famous local author called John Bunyan. I first read it in lower school when i was roughly 8-9 years old and became fascinated by it.

Hmm The Name of The Wind was pretty badass, oh and the last volume of Death Note. One of those two

It's a tie between Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle and Danielewski's House of Leaves.

That would have to be my extremely classy edition of Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Or my Physics text book.

Well, being a Christian and having a BA in theology...my Bible and various exegetical and theological books are very important to me. Though I know that's not going to get me any cool points here.

Other than that:
Nonfiction: Is There No Other Way?: The Search for a Nonviolent Future by Michael Nagler

Fiction: Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut, my favorite author ever

Allen and Greenough's collection of Ovid.
English literature doesn't really do it for me anymore.

Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erikson



Best book I've ever read and best of the entire series The Malazan Books of the Fallen. Which is really hard to choose a favourite from.

I did pick up a cheap copy of Don Quixote today though, one which seems to be a really good, recent translation. Charity shops are awesome

My very well-worn copies of Guns, Germs, and Steel and Eat the Rich, which I cite frequently for a quick and easy contribution to the "non-Internet sources" count in my papers. Doesn't matter if what I'm citing is relevant---those two books have always been useful sources.

Prey by Michael Crichton. It's my second-favourite book behind only his Jurassic Park.

As a series of books I feel that these are supperior:

As an individual book, I go for this:

I just love the way it takes such a silly matter so seriously, that and the fact that these words will one day save your life. Read it, know it, do it.
