very good list…I’ve already bought a few and decided to make it easier for others. contains all the books from the draft as well as 20 or so commenters. left off some of the “classics” and basically did the first 20 commenter selections with some exceptions. amazon is a bitch that is why the comments are either erased or annotated

The Alchemist - Under 200 pages, really quick read with a good story and it's got this whole "fuck seizing the day, seize your DESTINY" vibes going on.

The Sun Also Rises - If I figure out how to make the mundane bullshit sound compelling, I'll be a goddamn millionaire.

I Am Legend - Only one way to describe this book: It typifies the notion that "The book is better than the movie."

A Fool’s Progress by Edward Abbey. One of the best ever.

Pemulis… I knew you were named after that guy. He’s my favorite.

Great post.

The fact that Drew got both Catch-22 and A Confederacy of Dunces makes everybody else failures by comparison except me and undead zombie horde. He took HHGTTG, I’m taking Restaurant At The End Of Universe. Milliways, motherfucker

The Island > Brave New World. But Huxley is off the board.

I’ll go with a classic and take one that has certainly been assigned in high school anyway. Utopia. Thomas More
