HTML 4 for Dummies changed my life back in '99 :-)
Favorite novel is prolly Crying of Lot 49. The book that changed my outlook -- it's not a book but poem is "Burnt Norton" by T.S. Eliot -- it was my senior thesis -- it took me the longest time to understand it, the concept was foreign, but now I know a little bit about spirituality due to it.
