Had to throw this one up on the board. This one here is my all time fav...1984 still relevant...Big brother always watching (Patriot act etc...)..
Carl Sagan's the demon haunted world should be up here as well
Lolita is by far the best book I have ever read. I say it's a must read for anyone who enjoys literature, or considers themselves an intellectual.

I second the Pelecanos seris, even if you not from D.C., his mystery style will have u reading every book back to back from beginning to end
This is a very good read! Volumes 1 & 3 are good as well.
Excellent book!
This by far is the best fiction I every read. I hope they don't fuck up the movie.
(teenage rebellion)Catcher in the Rye
If this is the Autobiography
Check this out too Fist Stick Knife Gun: A Personal History of Violence in America by Geoffrey Canada ... not as "exciting" but had way more closure imo
I pretty much INHALED these books....and I swear by them
bump...my news years resolution is to step my knowledge up..
The Kybalion was first published in 1908 by the Yogi Publication Society and is now in the public domain, and can be found on the internet. The book purports to be based upon ancient Hermeticism, and makes the claim that it makes its appearance in one's life when the time is appropriate.
The Principles
Principle of Mentalism
The Principle of Mentalism embodies the truth that "All is Mind."
Principle of Correspondence
The Principle of Correspondence embodies the idea that there is always a correspondence between the laws of phenomena of the various "planes" of being and life. As above, so below; as below, so above. This principle states that there is a harmony, agreement and correspondence between these planes, delineated as
* The Great Physical Plane
* The Great Mental Plane
* The Great Spiritual Plane
Principle of Vibration
The Principle of Vibration embodies the idea that motion is manifest in everything in the Universe, that nothing rests, and everything moves, vibrates, and circles. This principle explains that the differences between different manifestations of Matter, Energy, Mind, and even Spirit, are the result of only different "vibrations". The higher a person is on the scale, the higher the rate of vibration will be. Here, The All is purported to be at an infinite level of vibration, almost to the point of being at rest. There are said to be millions upon millions of varying degrees between the highest level, The All, and the objects of the lowest vibration.
Mental Transmutation is described as the practical application of this principle. To change one's mental state is to change vibration. One may do this by an effort of Will, by means of deliberately "fixing the attention" upon a more desirable state.
Principle of Polarity
The Principle of Polarity embodies the idea that everything is dual, everything has two poles, and everything has its opposite. All manifested things have two sides, two aspects, or two poles. Everything "is" and "isn't" at the same time, all truths are but half truths and every truth is half false, there are two sides to everything, opposites are identical in nature, yet different in degree, extremes meet, and all paradoxes may be reconciled.
Principle of Rhythm
The Principle of Rhythm embodies the idea that in everything there is manifested a measured motion, a to and fro, a flow and inflow, a swing backward and forward, a pendulum-like movement. This principle explains that there is rhythm between every pair of opposites, or poles, and is closely related to the Principle of Polarity. It can be seen that this Principle enables transition from one pole to the other, and not necessarily poles of extreme opposites.
Principle of Cause and Effect
The Principle of Cause and Effect explains that there is a cause for every effect, and an effect for every cause.[12] It also states that there is no such thing as chance, that chance is merely a term indicating extant causes not recognized or perceived. The Principle is clarified in the chapter Causation.
Principle of Gender
The Principle of Gender embodies the idea that gender is manifested in everything.] The authors state that this does not relate explicitly to the commonly understood notion of sex, but rather "... to beget; to procreate, to generate, to create, or to produce..." in general. Gender is manifested as the Masculine and Feminine principles, and manifests itself on all planes.
Mental Gender is described as a Hermetic concept which relates to the masculine and feminine principles. It does not refer to the physical gender of someone, nor does it suggest that someone of a certain physical gender necessarily has the same mental gender. Ideally, one wants to have a balanced mental gender.
The concept put forth in The Kybalion states that gender exists on all planes of existence (Physical, Mental, and Spiritual), and represents different aspects on different planes. It is also stated that everything and everyone contains these two elements or principles.
The Masculine principle is always in the direction of giving out or expressing, and contents itself with the "Will" in its varied phases.
The Feminine principle is always in the direction of receiving impressions, and has a much more varied field of operation than the Masculine. The Feminine conducts the work of generating new thoughts , concepts, and ideas, including the work of the imagination.
It is said that there must be a balance in these two forces. Without the Feminine, the Masculine is apt to act without restraint, order, or reason, resulting in chaos. The Feminine alone, on the other hand, is apt to constantly reflect and fail to actually do anything, resulting in stagnation. With both the Masculine and Feminine working in conjunction, there is thoughtful action that breeds success. which point out that both the Feminine and the Masculine fulfill each other.
I permanently approached and viewed things in life differently after reading the these 3 books:
I've always been fascinated with the Pimping lifestyle and originally thought "Pimp" would be a cool read back in High School. Little did I know that this book would be the first to truly explain to me that you'll have the upper hand on any woman once you conquer her mind. It also let me know at a young age that pussy is a woman's ultimate bargaining chip which in turn made me make some wise decisions later in my life such as not simping, trickin, or having kids just for the hell of it...
Read this in college and it made me change the way I deal with people and life in general.
This is the most insightful and humorous autobiography I ever read. It gave me some valuable life lessons and the true meaning of what perseverance is.

If you've read "Pimp" then you must read his subsequent book "The Nake Soul of Iceberg Slim" as a follow up.

nobody read the art of seduction?
I read all his books but none compares to "Pimp" in my opinion.If you've read "Pimp" then you must read his subsequent book "The Nake Soul of Iceberg Slim" as a follow up.
Art of Seduction was on point but it couldn't outdo 48 laws of power.
