Non design releated I had really enjoy
"Barney's Version"
by Mordecai Richlerand
"The Music of Chance "
and
"Mr. Vertigo"
by Paul Auster

Zaven knows. I would say all of Paul Auster's works are worth reading but this "Mr. Vertigo" is indeed a wonderful book.

Chatwin, Melville, Golding, Woolf, Conrad, London, Borges, etc, etc, ... so many good books... unfortunately design books always say the same.

i'll third Siddhartha, picked it up from a friend i made in bali
The Alchamist is a nice read too, and altho it has been hyped to hell, I really enjoyed Da Vinci Code. good for brushing up on art history if anything

And more on the gothic/horror side of literature:
"Melmoth, The Wanderer", Charles Maturin

I am reading a book called prefume at the moment and it is pretty good, It is not a trendy book, it's about a boy who can smell and knows every scent in the world and it's a dark chilling read, written by Patrick suskind (there are two dots above the u in his name.

I'm reading The Alchamist now after it was bought for me. Realy enjoying it, as I'd heard nothing of it.
Also business wise - The Magic of Thinking Big, if you running your own business, or evern if your not.
Who stole my cheese, if your in a crappy relationship, or work environment. ;)
