If you plan on living a full life*, there are some books that you need to read. They're great for nerdy gifts and stuff.
Feel free to add on to this list:
* Animal Farm - George Orwell
* Cannery Row - John Steinbeck
* Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury
* Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
* The Invisible Man - H. G. Wells
* The Time Machine - H.G. Wells
* War of the Worlds - H.G. Wells
* The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide - Douglas Adams**
* Halo: The Fall of Reach - Eric Nylund
* Halo: The Flood - William Dietz
* Halo: The First Strike - Eric Nylund
*: Don't take that seriously. Seriously.
**:This is actually a collection of the following books:
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Life, the Universe, and Everything
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
Young Zaphod Plays it Safe
Mostly Harmless
So you can buy those separately if you can't find the collection.
Anyway, those were just some books I read in the past year that I found particularly good. Feel free to add books on. I'll be reading 1984 and Catch 22 next, if anyone's wondering, then I'll go on to any suggestions that were made here.
So uh.. these make good Christmas presents I guess, too.
