Let's not forget "Watchmen:"

Totally the wrong book to start with. It's good, but really very unrepresentative of the series as a whole. Start with Player of Games or Use of Weapons. Surface Detail also works pretty well as a general introduction, but it was written much later and it maybe kinds works a little better if you've already got some…

MULTIBALL!

We're stuck between a rock and a hard place at some point, most sites require a seven or eight charecter password with numbers, special charecters or capitlization, and you're supposed to have a different password for each sites.

Dune was my first introduction to scifi that forced the reader to really reflect upon the consequences of the characters actions without giving clear cut answers to whether something is good or bad, teaching me to think about what I was reading instead of just digesting the story, and inspired a huge change in the way…

Oh, shit, you're right - I was thinking Christopher Lloyd, but I typed Lee. My bad.

Not sure why GLaDOS didn't make the cut..

True but I have a BIG issue with JEJ as Vader being at 7. Top 5 at very least!

'The Sound of Her Wings' (The Sandman, #8). I'm probably the worse hipster ever, but I first read The Sandman in trade paperbacks and while the first seven issues where obviously smart and stylish this is the one that took my brain out a whole new door into Gaiman's very special brand of magic humanism. Life (and…

I'm not sure I feel comfortable identifying something as an important work of art (well, maybe some albums and pieces of music), but...Cat's Cradle, by Kurt Vonnegut.

Neil Gaiman's "The Sandman".

Never seen that Dune art before! Where's it from?

Agreed :D
