Recommend a book you think everyone should read.

I almost exclusively read non-fiction, so ...

"The End of the MegaMachine: A Brief History of a Failing Civilization" by Fabian Scheidler

Crappy title for one of the best books I've read and gotten the most out of.

The End of the Megamachine brings to light the roots of the destructive forces threatening the future of humankind today. While the first part leads us to the very origins of economic, military and ideological power 5000 years ago, the second and key part retraces the formation and expansion of the modern world-system through the last 500 years. Dismantling Western progress mythologies, Scheidler shows how the logics of endless capital accumulation have devastated both human societies and ecosystems from the outset.

I saw movies of these long before I read the books, yet the books are better than any adaption, and there have been many great adaptions too!

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley

All five books in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy.
