1. Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand (Read it twice a year). Completely agree with above post - kingjohn, fellow Objectivist. Everything one needs to understand about life. Monumental, timeless philosophical novel.
2. The Fountainhead - Ayn Rand (Once a year).
3. Caesar - Christain Maier
4. Lincoln - David Herbert Donald
5. Webster's full Unadbridged Dictionary (Hardcover, not CD).
6. Encyclopedia Britannica (Hard Cover, not CD)
7. Foundation Series (all) - Isaac Asimov
8. Any book by Gore Vidal, Jeffrey Archer, Len Deighton, Doug Coupland, or John Le'Carre
9 1984 - George Orwell
10. Mastering Windows Server <hehe> - Mark Minasi

Those are my "Desert Island" books. And a zillion others.

Alas Babylon! By Pat Frank. Remember reading that as a kid in the mid-60s. Scared the hell out of me.

Recent Honorable Mention: Sale of the Century: Russia's Wild Ride from Communism to Capitalism - Chrystia Freeland.

"The Dark Tower" series by Stephen King is up there for me, too. Good stuff. Book 4 made me cry!

And "The Long Walk" was a PHENOMENAL short story. When I finished I just sat there staring into space making blubbering sounds.

Hey, Austin... I read the first two Sword of Truth books in about a week and a half. BUT I CANT FIND VOLUME THREE ANYWHERE!

I take it you liked em? Third book is Blood of the fold, if I were you Id order the rest of the series from some online bookwearhouse that save 40% avg
