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
