Books
Looking for a good read? I recommend these:

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain
An Anthropoligist on Mars, by Oliver Sacks
Blue Highways, by William Least Heat-Moon
Don Quixote, by Muguel de Cervantes y Saavedra
Gödel Escher Bach, by Douglas Hofstadter
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams
The Physics of Baseball, by Robert Adair
The Selfish Gene, by Richard Dawkins
The Time Machine Did It, by John Swartzwelder
To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee
And any book that's been banned, burned, or barred. Even that one you think is disgusting. You know the one. Especially that one.
