The Glass Bead Game, by Hermann Hesse, is a must-read for any
self-respecting complexity theorist :-)

Subject: [FRIAM] The Best 10 Fictional Works
Ok, so I've decided my literary education is somewhat lacking and would
like to know this group's recommendations for the "10 Best Literary Works"
I should read. They have to be works of fiction and available in English
and not just say of 2009 but of all time. Google searches tend to list
the best of a year or be listed by one particular publisher. This is a
good group to poll since you all (most) have at least some kind of
scientific/technical bent. So I know the suggestions will be good ones
for me!
Once I have a list of all suggestions maybe I'll ask you all to vote on
them.
My list currently starts with Frank's recommendation today:
"Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West" by Cormac
McCarthy
Thanks!
Robert C.
