The Worst Journey in the World - Story of Scott's famous expedition to the South Pole written by an unlikely team mate. This book literally changed the way I see men and heroes.

Mein Kampf - never has fascism looked so reasonable (if a little repitious). A portrait of a dangerous idea.

120 Day's of Sodom - Freedom as most people will never experience it.

1984 - the first book that, as a child, told me that every adult had lied to me and I was walking in to a trap.

Bible, Quaran, 2600 - showed me that social engineering can get you a long way.
