House of Leaves should be on there too. Not the most popular book, but it definitely has a cult following.

What's the other one?

It's no use being depressed. Some of these books are awful.

I'd like to read Story of O. I read the other one, what was it ... Nine and a Half Weeks?

I've read: The Bell Jar, Dune, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, and to Kill a Mockingbird.

Story of O, Slaughter House 5 (or any Vonneghut), and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance are on my to read list. And I totally agree about the Ender's Game thing. That book really was almost a religion for some people at my high school.

In high school, I joined an Ender's Game-based online text game, where I met Chad, the guy I dated before him and lived in Kansas with for a while, and several of the best friends I have today. It was more of a home than my home, and I grew up there from 16 to 21 years old or so. So - a significant impact on my life (:

About a quarter of these are on my to-read list, most notably Zen and Motorcycle, Godel Escher Bach, and Gravity's Rainbow.

I'll loan you Breakfast of Champions next time I see you. This offer is on par with my offer to bring you the mug I ordered for you. I am all good intentions and going to hell.

I've read 21 of the titles but also must recommend some Science Fiction that blew me away.

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson the epitome of Cyber-punk.
or when Mutant cyber-men go bad!

Leige-Killer by Cristopher Hinz ;book one of the Paratwa Saga
(Demolition Man, the Stallone Movie was a shitty movie roughly based on the premise of this book trust me though this book rocks!)
or when genetics go bad!

The Dosadi Experiment by Frank Herbert
or when social experimentation(Lawyers eff-up) go bad!

I do mean eventually to read Snow Crash. However, when it comes to cyberpunk, I am blindly loyal to William Gibson.
