    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

    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.

    Wow, I LOVE this thread! All my life people have thought I was odd because I read so much. I'm not weird....Yay! Lol, and I'm also making notes on what to read in the future.

    Two more of my favs: Anne Rice, and Stephen King
