Catch 22. Because it's funny. Laughter is very important to me. I'm reading Dunces right now, though, and it may become a new favourite.

Probably A Short History of Nearly Everything because I love the sort of trivia it served up in an entertaining way.

I will prove myself as a millennial and say Harry Potter though Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett is a close second!

The Prince, by Niccolo Machiavelli. It's one of the best books that i've read. It's been so long, I should re-read it.

It fluctuates between The Count of Monte Christo and Dune. In both books I can lose myself in the universe and really feel immersed. Voice, imagery, tone, and overall direction are just magnificent.

Read the unabridged translated Count of Monte Cristo in 3 days by waking up, reading, eating, reading, eating, reading, eating, reading, and sleeping. It was great.

Truly living the dream!

Were you staying in a gorgeous library at the time? Hiding in the stacks at closing time and coming back out after everyone had left?

Both good choices. (Imagine if the Count got his hands on some spice! Whoa...)

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. This book is reponsible for making who I am today. Its universe limitless absurdity allows the author to make amazing metaphors describing religion, politics, technology, etc...

Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut. I love the ridiculous religion Bokonism, the deadpan irony, and the sheer absurdity of it all.

Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse. I think that Harry Haller (the protagonist) is one of a few characters that I mostly identify with. Leto II from Dune series is probably another one.

Found Steppenwolf in our drawer. I'll take the recommendation.
