There are a few books which are my favorites but two of them really stand out as being the ones that I could read forever.
1.The Collected Short Stories - Roald Dahl (These short stories are captivating and remain attached with you forever)
2.Catch-22 - Joseph Heller (Definitely a book to be read multiple times since every-time its a new experience and worth to be in one's library)
Karl Marx - Capital
catch 22 in classics n god fathe too
This is ridiculously difficult to answer with one book. In fact, I'm not going to do it.
1. Hyperion - An epic space opera written in the form of a frame story, similar to the Decameron or Canterbury Tales. Philosophical, poetic, transcendent.
2. Historias de cronopios y de famas - The product of an endlessly fertile imagination. You will be forced to think deeply.
3. Mythago Wood - Explores the darkest of mythology in a deep, disorienting forest. Mysterious and gripping all the way through.
4. Tao Te Ching - An insightful collection of statements by Lao Tzu regarding the universe and how to live within it. Immensely beneficial for smoothing away harmful habits and reflecting upon your actions in life. Go for the translation by Brian Browne Walker.
5. A Song of Ice & Fire (series) - By far the most exciting fantasy series I have ever had the pleasure of reading, and don't doubt for an instant that it will become known in time as a work of great fantasy literature, up alongside Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Narnia. You really can't go wrong with this one unless you're illiterate.
So nowhere in this "code of life" does it tell you not to be a dick?"Quote:

I agree with sh0ut, On the Road is a fantastic read. Dharma Bums is also a good one. If you haven't read any writings from the beat era (eg. Ginnsberg, Burroughs, Kerouac) you should really give them a chance.Quote:

The stories of O.Henry have the most twisted endings you'll ever encounter in English Literature.
The Tiger's Wife is a very good book indeed. Tea Obrecht wrote short stories for New Yorker and was a profiled as among "30 authors under the age of 40" to look out for.Quote:

I will always stand by my classical favorite, "The Sound and the Fury," if only to sound obtuse and a bit boring.
For pure shock value, I love me some Anton LaVey and the Marquis de Sade.
