+19. OsamaK: What's the best book you have ever read?
+
+RMS: I can't remember now all the books I have read and loved. And even if
+I could, I would not be able to pick one to call it best.
+
+If you like fairly hard Science Fiction with a big vision, I recommend
+A Fire Upon the Deep, by Vernor Vinge, and Diaspora, by Greg Egan. If
+you like something a little less hard, I recommend The Jehovah
+Contract by Victor Koman. If you like detective fiction, I recommend
+Laura King's books about Mary Russell, starting with The Beekeeper's
+Apprentice, and Steve Saylor's Roman mysteries about Gordianus the
+Finder.
+
+In other areas of fiction, I have enjoyed Jane Austen and Paul Auster,
+Lewis Carroll and Edgar Allen Poe, among others. In Spanish, Jorge
+Luis Borges, Arturo PÃrez Reverte (especially La Carta EsfÃrica and El
+Club Dumas), and Alejandro Dolina.
+
+If you are interested in linguistics, I recommend
+The Origin of Language by Merrit Ruhlen.
+
+A few suggestions in history and anthropology:
+
+Burning Water Laurette SÃjournÃ
+Popol Vuh Translated by Dennis Tedlock
+Lords of Sipan Kirkpatrick
+Courtesans and Fishcakes James Davidson
+Life and Death in Shanghai Nien Cheng
+Buddhism in India Gail Omvedt
+also her biography of Dr. Ambedkar, leader of the Dalits
+A Vietcong Memoir Truong Nhu Tang
+The Forbidden Bestsellers
+of Pre-Revolutionary France Robert Darnton
+
+It is interesting to compare these two:
+Marquesan Sexual Behavior Suggs
+The Fateful Hoaxing of Margaret Mead Derek Freeman
+(I.e., the Samoan girls lied to Mead, claiming a life style
+which in fact is rather Marquesan than Samoan.)
+
+If you buy some of these books, or any books, I recommend
+yu do it in a way that doesn't identify you to Big Brother.
+Pay cash, in a store.
+
+For the sake of your friendships, please don't get a copy
+with digital handcuffs (DRM, Digital Restrictions Management).
+See DefectiveByDesign.org for more explanation.
+
+In particular, don't buy them from Amazon unless/until Amazon
+gives you a way to buy anonymously and without DRM.
