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...

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.

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

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?

Siddhartha by Hesse. Because every time I read it, it reminds me of the truly important things in life. It also helps to remind myself that everything is temporary. It brings peace to my mind every single time.

Those are all good thing. It's been recommended to me before. I'll have to give it a try sometime soon.
