What are some of your favorite books both fiction/non-fiction that you have ever read?
My top 5
1. The Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman
2. The Stuff of Thought by Steven Pinker
3. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
4. The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene
5. A Treatise of Human Nature by David Hume
I also love the entire Dirk Pitt series written by Clive Cussler.

I took an entire couse on Hobbesian Doctirne ... Leviathan's central message is very complex. Han Im surprised you of all people don't heed his warning. Or Perhaps you disagree wih his most central Thesis.
EDIT: heres my list
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
One flew over the Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey
A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Tool
Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi
Davinci Code (guilty Pleasure)
Anything by Hunter S Thompson, Umberto Eco, Chuck klosterman, and David Sedaris.
