(I know it isn't a book but it's in a book. heh) 3) Power vs Force, David R. Hawkins. 3) The Red Book, Carl Jung. 4) The Catcher in the Rye, J. D. Salinger. 5) Stranger in a Strange Land, Robert A. Heinlein 6) Animal Farm, George Orwell. Haven't read James Patrick Kelly but thinking about purchasing the anthology he edited: Digital Rapture. Edit: Sorry, I just read the thread title again and realized you only asked for one book. So, I guess if I had to choose just one, it would be Power vs. Force.

"Leonard Shlain proposes that the process of learning alphabetic literacy (left-brain) rewired the human brain, with profound consequences for culture." He demonstrates the upward curve humanity is in by combining the impact of archeology, myth and inventions on the mind. [link to youtu.be] |

The Bible is in parts unreadable and the rest is insulting and boring. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24696343 When you suck shit through a straw...what do you do with the peanuts?

Reading fiction is way better than any video game. Black sheep has no place. Until you find the Most High. See inner-standing. |

Good Have you read "Angela's Ashes"? It's not so much about one woman, but about an Irish family and the anguish and poverty their alcoholic father put them through. It's written by Frank McCourt and it's a true story. He made his way to America and became an English teacher. His story is heart-breaking, but he still had a sense of humor. It's well worth the read. |

WOW I just thought of that story - The Hunger Artist - for this first time in probbably 20 years. I also liked The Hunter Graachus by Kafka. My favorite book is A Fan's Notes by one hit wonder and big time alcoholic Frederick Exley |
