One book that changed your life:
David Brin's The Uplift War
One book that you've read more than once:
Snow Crash
One book you'd want on a desert island:
The Name of the Rose (I might actually be able to finish it)
One book that made you laugh:
Terry Pratchett's The Fifth Elephant
One book that made you cry:
I can't think of any just now, although I'm sure it has happened (the snarky answer would be Griffiths' cat book)
One book that you wish had been written:
A low level chemistry textbook that actually sets up stat mech to be as important as it is
One book that you wish had never been written:
Neuromancer (I don't hate the book, so much as it's a mediocre book that everyone thinks of first when they think of cyberpunk, and by extension, modern science fiction)
One book you're currently reading:
Diplomacy by Henry Kissinger
One book you've been meaning to read:
Catching up on all the Star Wars novels (ok, that's more than one...)
