Fiction

The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy (A Trilogy in Five Parts) Douglas Adams What he writes is so insane yet so plausible that it very well may be true. This book is so good that it floats out of alphabetical order to sit on the top, and will probably never be moved. 1984 George Orwell 451 Farenheit Ray Bradbury The Acid House Irvine Welsh Appleseed (all of them) Masamune Shirow Candide Voltaire Chronicle of a Death Foretold Gabriel García Marquez The Corridors of Time Poul Anderson Feet of Clay Terry Pratchett Foundation (the whole series) Issac Asimov Ghost in the Shell Masamune Shirow Good Omens Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman Jingo Terry Pratchett Kings That Die (from 7 Conquests) Poul Anderson The Hobbit / The Lord of the Rings J.

Non-Fiction

The Art of Assembly Randall Hyde The ultimate ASM resource. It just doesn't get better. Its a bit long to read all of it, but it covers everything. At least keep it as a reference. A Brief History of Time Stephen Hawking An incredibly understandable introduction to modern physics (special and general relativity, quantum mechanics) as well as an introduction to the quest for a unified theory of physics. Disappointingly nonmathematical, but extremely readable. Cyberpunk Katie Hafner and John Markoff A detailed retelling of the stories of Kevin Mitnick, Hans Huebner (Pengo), and Robert Morris, three of the most famous in hacking history. The Waite Group's Object Oriented Programming in C++, 3rd Edition Robert Lafore The Waite Group is the difinitive publisher of programming books, in my opinion. If you're going to learn OOP or C++, get this book. The Waite Group's C Primer Mitchell Waite and Stephen Prata The best C book to be found. Go out and buy it now. Windows 95 Programming Secrets M Pietrek If you're gonna program Win95, learn it from God. Suggested by MisterE. The Revolutionary Guide to Assembly Language (for beginners) Vitaly Maljugin, Jacov Izrailevich, Semyon Lavin and Aleksandr Sopin This book only does 16-bit DOS real-mode programming, but who cares. Its a good introduction the the last language you'll ever need to know. Suggested by Medivh. Programming Windows Charles Petzold A guide to the Win98API in C. Suggested by Medivh.
