Books that all /prog/riders should read

Siddhartha by Herman Hesse

It's about a man trying to find satori. While I don't agree with Buddhism, it can be a very thought provoking novel, as long as you remove the religious connotations. It's really helped me become a better programmer by removing the things in life that get in the way of my work.

A thought came to me earlier today: The xkcd fucktards are the ones that like to pretend they are autistic so they can feel special about being fucking walking advertisements for euthanasia. Are these not the same people who think Ender's Game is like, so true man, they don't understand my genius? Somewhat ironically the same fucktards are now all confused after it turned out Arse Scott Card doesn't like faggots.
