Tom Wolfe - The Bonfire of the Vanities. I read this many moons ago when I did not really have a clue about the subject material. Reading it again after all these years I find it compelling reading. Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it. Brilliant book. Note to self: READ MORE - it's better than looking at mindless sh*t on the net.

Analog Synthesizers - Mark Jenkins. A VERY good book all about analogue synths - circuit design, purchasing, playing and everything else associated with these marvelous machines. If anyone on the forum is getting into these instruments this book is a must. Mr. Jenkins put a huge effort into this very classy book. An absolute mine of information. My brain was fried after reading the first chapter.

lol
did enough technical manual reading back in my working days
those days are long gone
I know that's not what this is but that's what it translates to for me
written for an audience of synth players

Don't worry MH. I won't send you this for Xmas. However, you will be getting a nice book for Xmas this year - hint - the centre page folds out....

Jokes aside, who is your favorite author?

^I seem to remember reading three of those titles - an awfully long time ago. 

I'm reading One Man's Climb at the moment. Adrian Hayes' account of his experiences on K2.
