I cant choose which book to get!

[MONODA]

I have an account on abebooks.com where I usually buy my books from. I was recently offered a coupon by them with a 10% discount which expires today (it was offered a while ago but I just found it today). So I decided to get a new book. I would like to get a book about programming so I added the C programming Guide to my cart. I am still looking for another book, what have you read recently that you would recommend?
EDIT: doesnt matter what genre, just anything that you enjoyed.

[Ub1476]

Dune

[MONODA]

it seems like a lot of people liked it but I read the synopsis and it didnt really appeal to me much (i am not a fan of star trek like stories [please dont kill me:p])

[WorldTripping]

Zen And The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

or

Touching the Void

[MONODA]

i usually like fantasy books, any good ones recently?

I see they have Ubuntu Unleashed (http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&tn=ubuntu+unleashed&x=0&y=0). I strongly recommend one of those, it includes so many tips and tricks, and most of the explanations are CLI based instead of GUI, so you'll really learn something. That is, if you don't already own it, of course. It contains not only Ubuntu-related stuff, but Linux-related in general.

Edit: I'm not sure about the edition, I have Ubuntu Unleashed, August 2006. But there surely is a newer edition if you like.

that sounds nice but I dont really want any more linux books (i already have too many). Anyway, I dont use ubuntu any more.

I'm on my second time through O'Reilly's 'Learning Python.'

Well worth your time if you are into programming.

You have to read this (http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=1102967486&searchurl=isbn%3D9781857883770%26sts%3Dt%26x%3D41% 26y%3D5) it's hilarious.

If you want another book, the best book for C ever written was the original by K&R. If you don't have this book and are interested in C programming, this is a MUST HAVE for your library.

The C Programming Language - Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie

If you want a programming book, Programming Perl is a classic.

I'd suggest you "Perfume", by Patrick Suskind, one of the best books I have ever read.
Absolutely astonihing!

If you're into fantasy, Tad Williams is the man. Try Shadowmarch, or the Otherland series, both absolute classics. Be warned tho, Otherland is four books weighing in at 4500 pages or thereabouts!
