[Soup]

Neverwhere- Neil Gaiman
Lord of the Flies-William Golding

Second to Watchmen
and V for Vendetta- novel not the movie

[Soylent Green]

Snow Crash is pretty good in my opinion.

[P3nT4gR4m]

Neverwhere- Neil Gaiman
Lord of the Flies-William Golding

Second to Watchmen
and V for Vendetta- novel not the movie

Respectfully disagree - I think the movie is one of the best books ever written

[Dr Goofy]

A Game of Universe by Eric S. Nylund

An alien, assassin, wizard who is traveling in a magical ship on a Quest for the holy grail, What more could you want... seriously?

[Pariah]

Respectfully disagree - I think the movie is one of the best books ever written

[Requia ☣]

Second to Watchmen

I have, after careful consideration, decided comics can go on the list, since there aren't enough of them that are ant good to make their own list of 100

[Jasper]

A Game of Universe by Eric S. Nylund

An alien, assassin, wizard who is traveling in a magical ship on a Quest for the holy grail, What more could you want... seriously?

A cure for schizophrenia, for starters.

[Iason Ouabache]

How did we get this far without "Billion Dollar Bunko/How to Cheat at Everything" by Simon Lovell being added to the list?  That thing is a treasure trove of confidence games.

[-Kel-]

Dante - Inferno
Albert Camus - The Myth of Sisyphus and The Stranger
Max Brooks - World War Z
Palahniuk- Haunted

[Triple Zero]

i havent read it yet, just bought it,but:

Surely you're joking mr. Feynmann

Feynmann was one of the greatest minds of the 20th century, just not very famous because he researched quantum field theory (or something equally obscure), but most of all he was a brilliant prankster and this book is filled with his antics. I'm sure I'd add it to the list when I get to read it, maybe someone else can vouch for it already.

and V for Vendetta- novel not the movie

Respectfully disagree - I think the movie is one of the best books ever written

The movie was juvenile, though still fun. The comic was like reading something an adult had written and even more fun.

For pure satire value, Terry Pratchett's Small Gods andFeet of Clay. (Small Gods involves what is an approximation of the Abrahamic god being turned into a tortoise and explores organized religion's many faults, and Feet of Clay explores all sorts of interesting things, from gender to the way we treat those we see as inferiors and our historical reactions to that).

Passionate Declarations by Howard Zinn has been one big MF for me, and certainly pushing me away from American capitalism even faster than I was going before, not to mention opening my eyes to the flaws of the American verision fo representative democracy I don't know that anyone else has read it, but you should.

In sheer Oh-my-god-I'm-just-a-monkey! The Pscyhodynamics of Family Life* by Nancy Chodorow was the most de-humanizing things I've ever, ever read. For every behavior--love of all kinds--to be reduced to a series of survival traits, was utterly painful.
_{*It's been a couple years since I read the study and I think that's it. All I remember is the horror that was my reaction.}

I second whoever said Dante's Inferno.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Steal This Book - Abbie Hoffman

[fomenter]

Steal This Book - Abbie Hoffman

classic - i have already submitted a recipe from it for the fat Eris cookbook

[Requia ☣]

The Prince I'm sure someone will second it, I never read it

I'm about halfway through The Prince, seconded.
