The List of Books Everybody Should Own!

[anileve]

Thank you Fadyush, I was actually looking for more scientific books to add to my list.

Sometimes I wish I was more knowledgeable in physics and mathematics to understand certain book better. I think I took my science classes for granted, not knowing that one day I will regret it.

Personally when it comes to understanding universe, this book is one of a kind.

The Universe in a Nutshell
by Stephen Hawking

Disturbing and depressing, although interesting.

Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham
Razor's Edge by W. Somerset Maugham

Great books, particularly the first one.

Also, The Moon and Sixpence by Somerset Maugham. About Paul Gauguin, if I remember correctly.

And Regeneration (trilogy) (Part I - Regeneration, Part II - The Eye in the Door, Part III - Ghost Road) by Pat Barker.

A MUST read (& own) book is Germar Rudolf's Dissecting the Holocaust - very interesting. It's available both online and in print.

Mousy - if you liked the da vinci code you should read angels and demons

Originally posted by loseyourname I would have listed many more, but you already listed a lot of them.

By the way, there is plenty in those books that I do not agree with. Even the Blind Watchmaker, which I constantly cite and praise, is a very flawed book.

I was only jokin'. Lighten up man. There's a flaw in every book, but that's not why we read them is it?

These two books I recently purchased and have arrived in the mail. I doubt I can get to them now due to constraints, but if anyone besides clubbin is interested in Mixed Martial Arts, you should definitely check it out.
