Zen and the Art of Quantum Libraries

Mark Safranksi has an interesting thread developing over at Zenpundit, on the subject of quantum libraries, “the books you read over and over again and learn something new each time”.  I’ve posted my list over there, and it’s worth seeing what books bloggers deem worthy of repeated inspection and cogitation.

For what it’s worth, here’s my ‘top ten’ and a bonus ball:

Vurt (Jeff Noon)
King Lear (Shakespeare)
Riddley Walker (Russell Hoban)
Beowulf
If This Is A Man (Primo Levi)
Fiasco (Stanislaw Lem)
Neuromancer (William Gibson)
A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History (Manuel de Landa)
Strategy of Deception (Paul Virilio)
The Birth of the People’s Republic of Antarctica: A Novel (John Calvin Batchelor)

Honourable mention: The Utility of Force (Rupert Smith)
