I've almost caught up on my massive glut of books for me too read. Or atleast I've read enough of them that I feel I can give that pile a rest.

What I am looking for are recommmendations of books that I should read. Specifically Iw as trying to think of those more classic books that I feel I should read, for some reason, but never have. Of course, this can apply as much to 18th century British Literature as modern SciFi.

Any suggestions? (Note: They don't have to be fiction.)

If you haven't read them (and can find them), I'd try "The Anubis Gates,""On Stranger Tides," or "The Stress of Her Regard" by Tim Powers; "The Crow Road" by Iain Banks and "The Three Musketeers" by Dumas.

There's also anything by HG Welles, Jules Verne or L. Frank Baum.

Non-fiction-wise "Dino" by Nick Tosches is amazing as is "The Professor and the Madman."

Enjoy!
