Suze Orman "The Money Book For the Young Fabulous & Broke.

Sharon Rose & Neil Schlager "How Things Are Made" (cover is made of actual denim!)

Alex Wipperfurth "Brand Hijack (Marketing Without Marketing)" (book about how brands market without any real form of marketing and how to get your label to be a standout without making it look to mainstream!)

James Nachtwey Inferno. One of the most important documentary works of all time.

David Alan Harvey Cuba. Beautiful color photographs.

Antoine de Saint Exupery The Little Prince. Perfect. No other way to describe it.

Fountainhead - Ayn Rand.

Denim- From Cowboys to Catwalks- Graham Marsh and Paul Trynka

great history of denim, very readable and interesting and written by someone on SF!

The Stranger- Albert Camus

Just because it's one of the best books of all time, and definitely makes you think about the materialistic lifestyle that so many of us SF'ers enjoy

[drgitlin]

DPM - Maharishi's camouflage tome. Get the UK edition, not the US one.

[Guest Fade to Black]

THE ALCHEMIST.

I don't know man...but if at some point in your life (maybe now) you are/were fuckin lost like i was. READ THIS SHIT. It changed my whole perspective....i went from Todd Bridges to Bill Cosby after readin that shit.

Oh yeah, "Good Luck" is a short, simple but very effective book as well.

[jo3 b]

cosign on the alchemist.

although. get to work quick on your new outlook as it easily wears off yet lingers in the back of your mind

[Corbin Law]

Antoine de Saint Exupery The Little Prince. Perfect. No other way to describe it.

the greatest book of all time

i reccomend to all.

[mlproject]

among the thugs

the history of graphic design in france

vitamin d: new perspectives in drawing

watching words move

simplicity - john maeda

massive change

the edifice complex

chuck klosterman IV

[watchman]

among the thugs was really cool. very interesting insight into a mob mentality among otherwise normal people.

[werdtoyourmoms]

anything in oprah's book club

[fixoid]

Suze Orman really scares me.

i enjoyed john maeda's other books far more than simplicty. trying to make up laws never works. meada @ media is really good (i am such a sucker for the page edge printed flip book gimmick)

i can never recommend calvin and hobbes enough.

at the moment im reading after the quake by Haruki Marukami, a great bunch of short stories...I just finished reading Enduring Cuba by Zoe Bran, a great read as I'm going to spend 3-4 months in cuba very soon. I can recommend both books. Also, my most favourite book at the moment is Martin Eden by Jack London, a great read! P.S- Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins is very insightful.

[prufrock]

Oscar Wilde - Picture of Dorian Grey.

vain superfuturians beware!

[lipmystocking]

Plato - The Republic

Donna Tartt - The Secret History

Jeffrey Eugenides (sp?) - Middlesex

[stayhandsome]

less than zero by bret easton ellis.

honestly, best book i've ever read.

all of his other books are great as well.

me talk pretty one day by david sedaris is good too.

[Matay]

it's got awesome illustrations...and it's a quick, fun read....i can stare at the pictures for ever!

[red]

look on the favorite books thread in superlist and read anything and everything on there.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

Suze Orman really scares me.

[Corbin Law]

i can read mass amounts over the summer and on vacation but while im in school i can never find the time or energy,

but after reading this thread i am filled with a new sense of inspiration.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

[Corbin Law]

[mwrenchd]

[Astérix]

Anthem is ok. The us instead of I shit was annoying to read.
