I think I got this right -
Memoir Found in a Bathtub - Stanislaw Lem
absolutely awesome book, everything I've read by him is great, but I can only ever find Solaris in shops, which I still haven't read.
If I remembered the right title, it's a futuristic farce, where everyone is spying on each other. GO GO underwhelming description.

Lord of Light--Roger Zelazny. great book
All Carlos Castenada-was better the second time around.
Dada, Art and anti-art by Hans Richter, excellent. lots of good ideas.

The ender series Scott Orson Card are great
I finished the first book in the Pendragon series by someone. . . I'm bad at remembering aurthors

And I like reading the Bible.

Orson Scott Card is my favorite author, and that is my favorite series.

Right now I'm getting into the Star Wars series, and it's pretty cool. I doubt I'll venture too far into it though.

Robert Silverberg - Dying Inside is my favourite book I think, he's a great author.
And for the geek in me:
Paul Graham - On Lisp

Stephen Lawhead? The series based around the legend of King Arthur? I think the first book is called Taliesen or something like that? I'm not sure - I just remember that one of the books in that series is called Pendragon. Actually I think it's the third book - which I haven't read. I read the first two and then got bored of the series. But they were still enjoyable - I might re read them and move onto the next book.

All of Carlos Castenedas books are amazing. Great books.

Boomeritus by Ken Wilbur is a great book.
