Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy. Best book I've ever read, and one of the few I have actually read start to finish.

A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold. It will change the way you look at the world and teach you a lot about nature philosophy. I recommend this book a lot, but it is so very worth it. So much wisdom on every page.

The part where he recaps past seasons, ring by ring, as if hes going back in time when he is cutting down the tree is the coolest literary device ive ever read
