Re: Books that inspired you

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I was 13 when I read this and decided censorship was bad, very bad and that nothing would ever stop me from reading what I wanted to read…

One of the best books I have ever read.
The Existential Pleasures of Engineering: I found this book in the bookstore. Rather quite creepy reading about philosophy and engineering in the same book. At some points the book actually reads like some of Dean Kamen's speeches.
The Twilight Zone: A bunch of the greatest sci-fi short stories ever created. Almost every single one is ironic in it's own special way and it uses human nature as a steeping stone for some of them.
