Mine's the trilogy "His Dark Materials" by Philip Pullman (The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass). Just a simple tale about a boy and a girl . . . and power-hungry scientists and theologists, multiple universes, magic, demons, legions of fanatical angels, and creatures with wheels, and a knife that can cut through the very fabric of space, and a WAR ON THE FORCES OF GOD. Truly.

What's yours?!
Philip Pullman is an idiot. He's an idiot who finds dust erotic. He's also an untalented writer and has all the eloquence and meaning of a drunk choking on his own vomit when it comes to creating book titles.

Reading his books is like reading "The little bus that could - talentless wierd paranoid author edition". You can't help but think it's a load of inane shite.

Right, now that we've got that out of the way, on to the subject; My favorite book at the moment, is Hacking Windows XP by Steve Sinchak and Ziff Davis.It's such a good read if nothing else! And it's useful for overclockers like myself.
