My Favorite Books
The books below are some of the best writing I have ever read. I recommend that everyone at least read them once. I will be adding to this section as time goes on but it will remain a list of the best of the best. With any of these books you can’t go wrong.
 |
Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card A classic science fiction story about a war with an alien species and the children shaped to fight it. The whole series of books is great but this book, the first in the series, is the best. |
 |
Neuromancer by William Gibson This story paints the most vivid depiction of the future I have ever read. But what else would you expect from the novel that coined the term ‘cyberspace’. |
 |
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams The whole ‘5 book trilogy’ are the funniest books I have ever read. This book is the first story in the series. Read the series to find the answer to life and why you should always bring a towel. |
 |
Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson A wholly believable future is described in this novel about a future America weaved together with virtual reality, pizza delivery, robot guard dogs, Sumerian myth, Infocalypse, religious extremists, and Samurai fighting. The ideas about the future of virtual reality alone make this book worth the read. |
 |
Just for Fun by Linus Torvalds A book from the creator of Linux about the birth of his operating system. This novel is filled with humor, interesting insights, computer history, and ultimately an intriguing story about how a simple desire can end up changing the world. Read this book if you want to know why I do what I do. |
 |
1984 by George Orwell The classic novel about Big Brother and its control over humanity. Even though it was written in 1949, it is still a prophetic warning about powerful government, limited rights, and other dangers of the modern world. |
 |
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury I read this story in junior high and it changed my life. It is quick read so you have no excuse not to read it. This story paints a world where books are illegal and thinking is a thing of the past. In our age of computers, television, and other technologies, this book’s message is more important now than it has ever been. Please read this book !!! |
