GE my friends.
Mine at the time was one's of Jules Verne.
the title was something like 10,000 lieux sous les mers.
Thick as a brick( Jethro tull).
I was 13 YO at the time.
Since, I really like every works of the futurologist Alvin Toffler and his wife. They are great people. I don't know if they can really see into the future but every book they have writen proved they're right. Here you'll find some of it's best quotes http://www.creativequotations.com/one/528.htm
For the pleasure I also like Carlos Castaneda for his funtastics
novels and Carl Sagan Scienc fiction.
Almost forgot http://www.online-literature.com/orwell/1984/
George orwell 1984 the book that kept me anxious to the last minute...I mean not after reading it right away,much more... I read it in 1976 and it kept me until 1985 almost on stress.
Well I think this is enough for now.
Your eyes must be blurring.
Before I go though you should find the I ching very special book
of Confucius a super great philosopher of all time, it's not really a book, more like a bible or something to experience and deep though. http://altreligion.about.com/library/we ... 12202a.htm
May be you would like to give it a shot. I consult it for the first time with friends while working in the great North. The real one though not this one on the net. I don't know if it was because we were pretty high on hach but we were impress by the results.
Enjoy.
Pete

Planescape: Torment. Maybe it's because I don't read many "books," or maybe it's because PST owns...or both.

Kamasutra Positions of love widely considered the standard work on love in the Sanskrit literature.

The Black Company series by Glen Cook. Don't really know why. I know there are much greater literary works, but they just seem to set well with me.

Truth, although 1984 is only marginally better.

He really is. I read it religiously every year and it just keeps getting better and better. I don't think anyone can touch him for dialogue.

The man is a total fucking genius. I am also glad the movie got canned.
