Books I think everyone should read

[AL-58]

I tend to go by authors:

Moosedog

Much the same here:

The ones I seem to have read most of the last few years:

Robert Heinlein (favourite is either "Time enough for Love" or "The number of the Beast" its a good yarn)
Larry Niven
John Irving (Cider House Rules I can re-read anytime)
Harry Turtledove
Douglas Adams
I like Tom Clancy, but I can't read them one after the other, way too gung-ho

Not sure how many thousand books we have on our shelves, but it's a few. We both have the habit, study got in the way fro a few years though, having to read for research ruined the joy of reading for me.
