My favorite books are probably Mrs. Chippy's Last Expedition: The Remarkable Journal of Shackleton's Polar-Bound Cat by Caroline Alexander, The Plutonium Files: America's Secret Medical Experiments in the Cold War by Eileen Welsome, Stoner by John Williams, and Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes.

Edit: Oh yeah, and Hitchhiker's Guide, of course.

I loved Stoner. Such a simple story, but a really complete take on a type of American life. Was a recommendation from a forum as well — so thanks to you for starting a conversation here and looking forward to seeing what folks most enjoy reading.
