Hi NL'ers,

We all read books every time. However, at some point there is always that book we read and refer to every time in our lives. Excluding religious books.

Mine is: Hackers and Painters by Paul Graham.

Go to www.paulgraham.com to know about more him. He currently runs Y Combinator.

The book is a combination of essays on different topics, quite amazing.

So I wish to ask: what book has had the most major influence in your life?! (Excluding Bible and Koran, please.)
