- **Origami and Math - John Montroll**: I like origami and I like math, so this book is like heaven for me. Easily my top favorite origami book of all time.
- **1984 - George Orwell**: The book that Amazon erased from people's Kindles... 😬
- **What If? - Randall Munroe**: The What If? blog but as a book, and the best way to blown the mind of fourth-grade me.
- **The Elements - Theodore Gray**: Lovely periodic table book with large beautiful pictures except the author sadly didn't try to nearly kill himself by photographing the highly radioactive elements.
- **Lies My Teacher Told Me - James Loewen**: I can't decide if this book is more interesting or [Wikipedia's weirdest history articles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Unusual_articles#History).
- **The Code Book - Simon Singh**: The book that got me into cryptography, except I lost it after a week after bringing it everywhere.
- **The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams**: A book so creative that it defies the limits of human creativity. Seriously, read this if you want every 42 joke to actually make sense.
