FAVORITES: (in rough order)

The Illiad, Odyssey - Homer (**** read homer, why haven't you read it yet ?)
Moby Dick - Herman Melville (hilariously awesome and very manly)
The Prince, Discourses on Livy - Niccolo Machiavelli (greatest political thinker, ever)
Dune series - Frank Herbert (VERY awesome, the last books are probably crap though)
Call of the Wild & Love of Life - Jack London
Beyond Good and Evil, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Twilight of the Idols - Friedrich Nietzsche (and the rest of Nietzsche)
The Jungle Book - Rudyard Kipling (read Kipling in general, it's awesome)
Animal Farm - George Orwell (read the rest of Orwell as well)
Sun Tzu - The Art of War
Mary Shelley - Frankenstein
Anything and everything by Jules Verne, no really
The Island of Dr. Moreau - H.G. Wells (As well as most of his other works, very nice author)
Martian Chronicles, Farenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury (also another very good author)
Conan the Barbarian - Robert E. Howard (didn't read more of his, but intend to)
Elric of Melnibone - Michael Moorcock

Most things by Kafka

I read mostly philosophical books, short stories and poems; which are densely structured in terms of telling more with less words. Also these books teach me how NOT to think.

Studying 1984 and Lord of The Flies, god-tier dystopias.
Been stuck halfway through Michael Grant's Gone series for about a year now, uuungh. Want to read it but need to get back in the loop again.
