I'm nearly 60. Genuine old fart. I was reading the ABC's (Asimov, Bradbury, Clarke) when I was in the fifth or sixth grade. I've loved to read my entire life. I've covered a lot of ground over a lot of genres since then, and it was nice to be able to find such a huge collection to fill in some gaps. I'm curious to know what the community would recommend as "bucket list" level books (or SHTF books.) I'll weed out the ones I've just read to save you the time to post... or maybe this will spark some comments. I just finished Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (for the 4th time.) I always loan out my copies and then never get them back. I'm glad my reader lets me bookmark and quote passages pretty easily. I'm kinda new to reading digitally rather than paperback! I'm currently in the middle of Starship Troopers. Brave New World is next. Recently finished the complete Sherlock Holmes I jumped through the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe... I guess he leaves me a little cold. On my TODO list, mostly read-agains: House of Stairs - William Sleator. An easy read, and a fascinating story. Written for a teenage audience, but a great story regardless. Asimov's *Foundation* series, because I don't think I've ever read them is chronological order. (And that includes beginning with *End of Eternity*.) The Iliad and The Odyssey, that's been since high school. I'm also considering looking at some Socrates or Plato, but I always say that after reading Zen... and then I never do. Other than those, please let me know what I need to read that I may have missed.
