Didn't see anything in search, so here's a thread devoted to books you'd recommend to reference without clogging up random thoughts.

Include author, title, and genre when applicable. Thanks!

I am not sure what you mean by this, like text books for referencing while doing a given task?

I think he's just talking about reading material. If that's the case I can throw out



Watership down, by Richard Adams is such a classic novel. It's a story about a group of rabbits that are forced to evacuate their home and go on a long journey to resettle. It's a deep tale of adventure, travel, leadership, temptation, strife, danger, hunger, and conflict. The book has the rabbits communicating with one another in the human tongue so that readers can relate to the tale, but they do so in a way and with terminology that's distinctly animal. It's a very good book and one I read multiple times as a child.

Here's one of my favorites

Neal Stephenson
Snow Crash

great cyberpunk sci-fi with lots of mythology and pop culture thrown together.
