I bought one of these "books" but I couldn't fit it in my DVD player. So I took it back.

Iteration of Rational Functions :p

It's actually been at least a few years since I last read any fiction books (aside from the garbage they assign in college literature classes), but a few memorable ones are the first two Foundation books, the Sherlock Holmes stories and of course HHGTG.

Second Foundation. Foundation and Empire is a superior piece of writing, but SF will always be my favorite because of what has got to be the greatest ending ever. That, and I'm a big fan of the Second Foundation.
