Favorite Book........?

Anna Karenina, anything by Tolstoy. Thats my favorite non technical book.
My favorite technical book is Hacking Exposed Network Secrets & Solutions.

My favorite quote is by William Faulkner:
" The ideal woman which is in every man's mind is evoked by a word or
a phrase or the shape of her wrist, her hand. The most beautiful
discription of a woman is by understatment. Remember, all Tolstoy ever
said to describe Anna Karenina was that she was beautiful and could see
in the dark like a cat. Every man has a different idea of what's
beautiful, and it's best to take the gesture, the shadow of the branch,
and let the mind create the tree." William Faulkner

I have three:

Brave New World
1984
Fahrenheit 451

Lessons to be learned...

I would have to go with the Honeynet Project book "Know Your Enemy"

Anything sci-fi. . .C. Clarke, Asimov, Herbert, Bova. . .
Fav qoute Arthur C. "The person one loves, never truly exists, but is a reflection through the lens of the mind, onto whatever screen it fits with least distortion."
Fav King, as Bachman. . .The Long Walk.
Most used tech, Jamsa's Bible C/C++. . .

Anything by Tom Clancy! My favorite book of his is Clear And Present Danger. Way better than the movie ever aspired to be.

Favorite book read recently: The Hiram Key by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas - made me think and read more historical accounts of the turn of the "modern era".

I have no, one favorite book. I have several :)

Just for fun - Linus Torvalds
Cuckoo's Egg - Clifford Stoll
Rogue Warrior (non-fiction) - Richard Marcinko (That guy kicks some serious ass)
Rogue Warrior series (fiction) - Richard Marcinko

But the one thing, that I read the most is words on the web/irc. Its the biggest book of all. :)

give me a book, be it technical, fantastical, true or false, and I will come to delight in it, to be absorbed by it, and it will become one of numerous favorites. Reading is one of the most delightful things one can do, it provides an escape from the dreariness of reality, and takes you to places where dreams come true, to times when things were better (or worse), and lets you experience that which you may never have an oppurtunity to. Reading can bring light and love to your life, or dark and hate. It exposes you to thoughts that are so far from your own that you would never in your normal life come across them, and so close they may frighten you. It provides you with knowledge, real and useful, and false but the things of dreams. Reading makes dreams, fantasies, horrors, and knowledge real. To read is to experience, and to excersice and play with the mind.

My two favorite authors:

Max Haines (True Crime Stories - Series)
Dave Barry (Humour)

Favorite book, AND A SUGGESTED READ, is Dave Barry In Cyberspace.....

there is no question the greatest author and book of all time:
