Poll Suggestion: IMDb Poll Board Top Five Favorite Books

albstein,
It doesn't have to be fiction.  It can be anything. I'll let you rethink your list, if you like, to include any you may have left out.

Oh, that makes it even harder. New list:

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.
Michael Kohlhaas by Heinrich von Kleist.
The Castle by Franz Kafka.
The Spirit of Film by Béla Balázs.
Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil by Hannah Arendt.

Thank you.  :)  Added!

I will add your suggs, Dan, but maybe you could post a link to an IMDb image of that could be used?  (I'm having an image of everyone's #1 book, so a picture of a math problem?)  :)  Thank you!

Abi,

Thank you for the recommendation. This sounds like an interesting read, probably on par with Gravitation.

Computational Complexity: A Modern Approach 1st Edition
by Sanjeev Arora (Author), Boaz Barak (Author)
https://www.amazon.com/Computational-Complexity-Approach-Sanjeev-Arora/dp/0521424267

This beginning graduate textbook describes both recent achievements and classical results of computational complexity theory. Requiring essentially no background apart from mathematical maturity, the book can be used as a reference for self-study for anyone interested in complexity, including physicists, mathematicians, and other scientists, as well as a textbook for a variety of courses and seminars. More than 300 exercises are included with a selected hint set.

Abi,

I reviewed the table of contents of Computational Complexity: A Modern Approach 1st Edition. It looks fascinating.

Out of curiosity, is your background primarily Computer Science or Mathematics? My background is primarily Computer Science with a focus on Numerical Analysis and Operations Analysis.

After rereading, Tom Holt's absurdly funny, mind-breaker Doughnut, Narnia... can you swap out Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury for Doughnut, Tom Holt?

Some mathematicians cannot distinguish a doughnut from a coffee cup with one handle. Topologically, they are the same.

A tokamak is a device used for nuclear fusion. Tokamak is a Russian word for torus or doughnut.

Oh, I guess so... Will bring it back soon!  Stay tuned for a very important mesage from NarniaisAwesome!
:)

Thanks for the bump... I promise I will bring this list back... before 2020 is up!  (You: That's awful...)

No limits.

My own list has a book of haiku by Ricard Wright. A book that personally helped me get through some of the worst times of my life.

"Kazuo Ishiguro - Never Let Me Go"

Several things for MST3KandNarniaisAwesome:

1. Please update your OP and add this list link to the text.

2. Please update the text of your list to include the typical discussion thread link.

3. Hopefully, you won't miss my personal request to update my Top Five list (in a post previously dropped minutes prior to this post).

FYI: Moby Dick has fish breath!
