Here's what I have read that wasn't on the last list. These are things I loved, hated, or knew were brilliant despite my not understanding them.
Favorites:
Tales of the City - all 6 books of the series are good; the first three are better than the latter three. What a great cast of characters in a wild romp through SF high and low societies.
The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul - in case you were wondering what the Norse gods do when we down here make stupid decisions.
The Pop-up Kama Sutra - nice drawings, funny presentation.
Skrallan and the Pirates - A large picture book by Astrid Lindgren (of Pippi fame), about a small girl named Skrallan, who is on summer holiday with her family on Saltcrow Island. When I was small, I knew I was Skrallan.
The Encyclopedia of Bad Taste - Breasts, Enormous. That's all I'm gonna say.
Earthsea (x4) - I love Ursula LeGuin's quiet, dark, brooding, hopeful settings.
The Chronicles of Narnia - bedtime reading since age 12 or so. Purity on the pages.
Life After God - Douglas Coupland knows my mind. It's almost creepy.
Onkel Tom's Stuga - A very old copy of Uncle Tom's Cabin in Swedish, complete with ads in the back for ships that will take you to America.
Givens:
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet
The Handmaid's Tale
The Penis Book
GarageBand for Dummies
Knots
Ship Shape and Bristol Fashion
Sexual Behavior and the Human Female (thanks, Dex, for that vintage copy!)
