Ultimate Geek Novels
A poll conducted by the Guardian technology section revealed the unofficial top 20 Geek books. The article can be found here. I must admit that of the Top 20 I have finished #1, #2, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #13, #16, #17, #18 which makes 11 of them. With regards to the rest, #3 Brave New World has been on my to-read list for ages, as has #12 The Watchmen by Alan Moore. I also own a copy of #9 The Color of Magic, the first Discworld book, and even started it, though I never finished it and I didn't and still don't enjoy Pratchett all that much. I currently also have #14 on my bookshelf in Oxford, and #15 Strangers in a Strange Land has been sitting on my shelf in Singapore in ages, unread, surprisingly so seeing that I must have read about 6 or 7 other Robert Heinlein books. Only #10 and #2o surprised me - especially #10. I had heard of Douglas Coupland before but I never knew he was held in any regard.
I wonder what this says about me, geekiness wise......

I protest.
How can anyone not like Pratchett?? I would thought that you, of all people, would be able to appreciate his cutting wit and satirical style. :)
