What kind of fiction do you people like?
I've got "The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide" on my shelf, the two Dirk Gently's (the first one is better than the second), and The Salmon of Doubt.Astronuc said:Arrrgh! I forgot Douglas Adams and the "Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Best fiction by far.
And Terry Pratchett - I just started looking at his work.
Well, if all engineers were as resourceful, imaginative, manly and brave as the lead character, what couldn't we have accomplished...russ_watters said:Jules Verne's "The Mysterious Island" should be required reading for aspiring engineers.

Assuming you're English or American, your hatred stems from the fact that you were foreced to read Shakespeare at school.Bladibla said:Yarr... Shakespeare i would rank as one of my most hated playwriters/bookwriters/poets..

Lucky bastard, I was forced to read Ibsen and Icelandic sagas..

Both the "Doll's house" and "The Wild Duck" suck, IMO.ramollari said:I was also forced to read all drama 'The house of the doll' of Ibsen to make a report (If that's the way it is translated in English). It does suck...! I tried to extract any idea, but in vain.

As I see it, "Hedda Gabler", "Pillars of the Community" and "Enemy of the People" are Ibsen's best plays.
They don't actually suck as the two above-mentioned did (guess which we had to read..:grumpy:)
arildno said:Well, since you are into sci-fi/fantasy, Orson Scott Card is great.
I very much enjoyed "Ender's Game" (sci-fi), and his alternate American history Alvin the maker (fantasy)
:yuck: :grumpy:arildno said:"Doll's house" . . . sucks
