Cal's Favorite (Non-Reference) Books

tragically i have left out my favorite reference books because several of them weren't showing up in search :( i also left out discworld because i couldn't pick just one. but other than that, these are the books that were most formative for me. some of them are very good. some of them, not so much, but i love them anyway.
