I find myself a nice quiet place, a jug of OJ or similar, something like Portishead on the hi-fi and curl up for a few hours with just about anything.

Here's my list...

• Asimov's Foundation and Robot Series
• Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit
• Neuromancer and to a lesser extent, Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive
• The Two Cultures by CP Snow
• Iain M Banks' "Culture" novels
• Iain Banks "Real World" novels, especially Complicity, The Wasp Factory, Crow Road, and The Business.
• David Eddings' "The Beligariad" and "The Malloreon"
• "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss (No really, a great book!)
• "Mindstar Rising", "A Quantum Murder" and "The Nanoflower" by Peter F. Hamilton

And for the more ecclectic reader...

• The Gun and Its Development, WW Greener
• Cartridges of the world, Ed. Frank Barnes

Anyway, read and enjoy.
