We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Phew, that's such a good answer to so many retarded rhetorical questions.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
Randomly, I was searching the library for interesting math-teaching books on Wednesday and ran across a book on how to use a slide-rule (including a mention that computers did exist which could do all kinds of calculations, but that it would be both bulky and very inefficient to use them, like using an axe to swat a fly), written by Isaac Asimov. It was a bit startling.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Hrm. I am not sure that Akshewl Litrachoor should be classified as Geek Books; it should transcend, really.
If I'd been asked to list geek books, the first three I would list didn't even make that list: Godel Escher Bach, A Brief History of Time, and Flatland.

If I only had a brain...
A Brief History of Time
Widely rumored to be the least-read bestseller of all time. (Me: Guilty as charged.)
