The Koran.

fastest path to atheism

neuromancer
brave new world

Dracula is terribly written.
Names of characters, places and physical descriptions change due to Stoker being retarded.

Slaughterhouse Five
Vonnegut

Not the guy who posted that list Dracula did suck, it was unbelievably boring

Then he wouldn't fucking understand it asshole

Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow by Peter Hoeg

Necromancer was mediocre. I like that style of book, too, and still found it underwhelming. It was the lack of good characters that did it I think. Snow Crash was a much better book in that genre.

Yes, but Neuromancer came out in 1982 or something. My stepfather worked for a database tools firm (srs hi-tech) he once brought home a portable computer with a screen smaller than my tablet, yet this monster took up most of the table.

Snowcrash came out 10 years later, when many had already been on the "internet" (telnet/usenet)

Gibson's shit is good.

Sure it was imagininitive, but the characters are what make a good story, not the technology. You can have a book full of the coolest imagininitive sci-fi shit you want and have it be more or less unreadable if you put bad characters in it.

Wow everyone is holding a lot of value in really old books that only serve to influence modern archetypal structures. It's like playing with only one color of legos.

1. The Dark Tower Series because it is the ultimate blend of every classic high fantasy story.

2. Fight Club due to it's influence on post-post-modern nihilism and alt right vs sjw politics.

3. The Social Contract, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Republic to get a primer in philosophy

4. Guns, Germs, and Steel provides a sterile but informative look into the history of man.

5. The New Testament, The US Constitution, and The Art of War. They serve to build an understanding of the western culture.

>The Dark Tower Series
fuck me those final three books were shit though

First semester liberal arts college student?

Fuck yes. That book changed my life.

Moby Dick
My fav book of all time

I knew this will be among the first posts here

Yeah, thos endless datails about whaling were absolutely riveting.

I wouldn't call those Liberal Arts books. They are basic. But it's better than most of what was already mentioned

Cause Stephen King wrote himself into the books?

Roadside Picnic
A Scanner Darkly
The Player Of Games
Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep
High-Rise
Cat's Cradle
We

Just a couple off the top of my head

...

Anyone got anything to suggest based on these?

Great book. One of my favorites.

Yes, the Giver was very deep when I read it in 7th grade.

The laughing man

There is absolutely no alt-right vs sjw connotation in fight club whatsoever dipshit.

R. Gilpin War and Change in World Politics

Mackinder, Democratic Ideals and Reality: A Study of Politics in Reconstruction

Mahan, The Influence of Sea Power Upon History, 1660-1783
