I loved Douglas Adams, and I enjoyed even more reading it aloud to my wife. 'The Hobbit' was another good one for reading aloud and capturing me completely, again and again.
By the way, I'm a frequent visitor to your blog, and I've thoroughly enjoyed reading your posts. I could never compete with you, though... I mean, you're a God-damned genius...

Re: Dear God-damned genius
Good question. One book, huh? I might want to claim it was "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy", but I'm not sure that would hold up. I like the light tone, the satire of science, society, and religion.
But honestly, the most influential book in my life was the Bible, though as a reaction against it as I learned more about it. But I still prefer Douglas Adams.

Dear God-damned genius
Those lists can be interesting, and always controversial. It certainly would be hard for me to come up with my top favorite/best one hundred of anything
On that same line, after hearing much ado about it, I tried to read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Talk about a skipper, but I could see myself re-trying it somewhere on down the road sometime
Tell me, if you had to say, what would be the one book that influenced your way of thinking?
