House of Leaves is creative, it's interesting, but it's not essential reading. It's like the "Fight Club" movie, so many douche bags think it's the best thing ever. I admit I fell for the hype and bought it.

Owning books is not necessary, there are libraries in the world.

On the rare chance that I do buy a book, it is donated to the library after I read it. After I read a book once, it becomes dull.

If that's the case then I'm afraid you don't know how to read books.

>>11 Books become dull to you once you've read them? How does that even make any sense? I often fine the second read to be better than the first.

As a non-spiritual argument, a basic grasp of the Bible is essential if you want to read and understand anything written in a European language.

Implying that the Bible has any real literary merit and that reading the cliffnotes version wouldn't be sufficient.

Please take your "implying" back to /b/ with you. It is not a literary tactic worthy of using on this fine board. Also, please remember to take your adolescent knee-jerk badmouthing of Christianity as well.

Edgar Allen Poe, Franz Kafka, are must own authors.

1984 and Brave New World are must own books.

I don't really think there area any books that "everyone" should own. No matter what book it is someone is bound to fuckin hate it.
I'll say if you like sci-fi you have to read some Heinlein.

Wow, I came to this thread to suggest that anyone who loved books would perhaps (I wouldn't say any book is a "must read") find it fulfilling to read If On a Winter's Night a Traveller...

But seeing the responses in this thread, I doubt book lovers are what this board is composed of...
