    in the very earliest days of 8-bit personal computing, there was a peripheral manufacturer named pickles and trout.

    It's like some vortex of trolling, where a troll is trolling a troll and then for some odd reason IRQ42 and literature he enjoys got caught up in it.

    All my fav authors got rich and ran out of interesting plots. They all have co-authors now and the work has suffered greatly. So, I reread my library and wait to find a new author with the talent to hook me.

    I like dill pickles... .but, lately... I'm hooked on pickled aparagus spears. YUM. Gotta learn how to make those next spring.

    Weird topic but perfect for a rainy Sunday morning.

    well my favorites from the 70s and 80s were of course ten to twenty years older then i am, so its no surprise really, that i've outlived at least half of them. a few of course were dead even before i knew of them, but most were still alive, at least when i was little. there's still new ones coming along, but its hard to know who's gonna turn out to be any good, and new books are just too expensive to find out, but i do wish i had some more relatively new ones.

    I don't get this thread either. But I like Harry Potter.

    You know what a good classic is? Candide by Voltaire. He was very good at satire.

    Age of Reason is amazing, absolutely fantastic.

    You got my attention, I didn't just notice this thread title either, I just wasn't too interested in pickles, but I am somewhat interested in why my username is in the title? Who thinks a free pizza delivery is a nice gesture for an honorable mention? :p

    Anyway, enough of that. I will list some of my favorite books, most of what I read is either academic, or nonfiction:

    Gleick, James. Chaos: Making a new Science
    Dr.K. The Real Hackers Handbook 4th ed.
    Warren, Henry S. Hacker's Delight Second Edition
    Plauger, P.J. The Standard C Library
    Green, Robert. The 48 Laws of Power
    Sheldon, R.W. Darwin's Origin of Species, A Condensed Version of the first edition of 1859
    Carnegie, Dale. How to Win Friends & Influence People
    Hadnagy, Christopher. Social Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking
    Kernighan, Brian W., and Dennis M. Ritchie. The C Programming Language.

    Can't think of any more right now, I have all of the above as printed books, I have a few more printed books, paperback or hardback from the publisher, as well as a few books (but mostly technical manuals and datasheets), and many many books and academic articles on my hard drive.

    I haven't read every book I have from cover to cover (some aren't really meant to be read that way), but I'll tell ya one thing ... I need more bookmarks that I have, some books I like to have 2 or 3 bookmarks in, and I like highlighters, so when I buy I used book I often appreciate the previous owners use of highlighting. Oh yeah, and I need more books, like real books printed on paper. Books are kind of expensive though, especially ones one some of the stuff I'm interested in.

    Pickle juice would wreak havok on my electronics or my keyboard, causing corrosion and hardware failure ... I don't really care for pickles.

    When I say no pickles I fucking mean it, it's not a suggestions, its an order (im talking to you Mickey D's ... but you know, I can't have expectations too high of the cretins at MacDonalds.

    The Sun Also Rises.

    I am so nerdy that I literally reread it in an afternoon, with 10 pints of beer, in the cafe where it happened on the Boulevard Montparnasse.
