Ask HN: What literature do you read?

been enjoying some classic literature, Zen and Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Dune is rich and pretty fascinating.

Dune, by Frank Herbert (+ 5 books in the series)

Atlas Shrugged is a great reminder of the fallacy in that.

Cryptonomicon is rich, fascinating, and entertaining.

Cryptonomicon is my favorite

Cryptonomicon

Couldn't agree more about Cryptonomicon.

Cryptonomicon is just plain fun

OS Card ("Enders game")

Ender's Game is also good

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card (+ 3 sequels)

The trilogy of Neuromancer, Burning Chrome, and Mona Lisa Overdrive is still my favorite work of fiction

The Foundation is another great series and will entertain you a lot.

Asimov's Foundation (I only recommend the trilogy, though;

Foundation by Isaac Asimov (+ 5 books)

I'm a huge fan of Daemon and Freedom(tm) by Daniel Suarez.

Anathem (especially the last third of it) is an awesome reading. It's slow-building and the first two thirds took some will to get through, but it was really worth the struggle. Incredibly high-concept

Anathem is definitely worth a read.

The Count of Monte Cristo (brilliant revenge story)

the book is both remarkably compelling and extremely self-aware.

I'd liked HPMOR much more then original story. Thought it's quite geeky which not everyone likes.

If you haven't read "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality", you're in for a treat

Infinite Jest
