The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy - I have read those books at least 2 dozen times each by now. Fucking brilliant, if you have never read them, DO IT! If you can't read, shame on you! Learn to fucking read and read these fucking books!! Also anything about Chaos Theory, Quantum Theory (Many Worlds), scientific and philosophical. Done lots of Grisham, lots of Crichton, 2 of the best! Recently read half of "The Hidden Connections", pretty awful, unless you enjoy sitting through countless pages of repetitive yet pointless crap then skip it. Currently reading " The Hitchhiker's Guide " yet again, but not all the way through, just from the Krikkit Wars through the end, best part!!
Stephen Hawking, Noam Chomsky, Douglas Adams. Physicists, thinkers, authors. Heroes? Not quite, but men I have much respect for. Anyone capable of deep and independent thought.
