Why Arrogant Worms? Because I just bought their latest release, that's why.
Last night I was asked to list my favorite books and/or authors. I couldn't do it. I've been thinking about it since and the list that follows is what I've come up with. It is by no means comprehensive. I've selected books that meet these criteria:
- They have influenced me.
- They have been memorable.
- I've read them more than once.
Right, on with the list. In no particular order,
- Life After God Douglas Coupland
- The Decameron Giovanni Boccaccio
- The Dharma Bums Jack Kerouac
- Tender is the Night F. Scott Fitzgerald
- The Brothers Karamazov Fyodor Dostoyevsky
- Dubliners James Joyce
- The Plague Albert Camus
- The Diary of Anais Nin: Volume 3 Anais Nin
- The Count of Monte Cristo Alexandre Dumas
- Jude the Obscure Thomas Hardy
- Love in the Time of Cholera Gabriel Garcia Marquez
- The BFG Roald Dahl
- Good Omens Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
- The Waste Land T.S. Eliot
- Night Elie Wiesel
- The Odyssey Homer
- The Little Prince Antoine de Saint Exupery
- My Name is Asher Lev Chaim Potok
- Lila: An Inquiry Into Morals Robert M. Pirsig
- Travels with Charley: In Search of America John Steinbeck
- A Prayer for Owen Meany John Irving
- Galileo's Daughter Dava Sobel
- The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich William L. Shirer
- The Bible According to Spike Milligan Spike Milligan
- Being and Time Martin Heidegger
- The Secret Life of Dust: From the Cosmos to the Kitchen Counter, the Big Consequences of Little Things Hannah Holmes
- God's Debris: A Thought Experiment Scott Adams
And there you have it. As I said, by no means a comprehensive list.
