The (one of the… there may be more than one) sequel to Dream Park is “California Voodoo Game”.
funneefarmer: I’ve always loaned that book out to others, and kept really close tabs on it since it’s not published anymore, but I finally lost track of it. Fortunately, I had a friend find it in the Gotham Bookstore, and I proceeded to read it cover to cover in about three hours. Friends and I use it as a guide to this day.

How 'bout “The Standard Handbook of Fastening and Joining?” Pretty dull, but at least it puts me to sleep at night. Paying $50 for it is one of the dangers of joining an engineer’s book club.
I also have, and have read, the entire “Dune” series.
In a much lighter vein, I have all of the “Bill, The Galactic Hero” books. My favorite is probably, “Bill and the Planet of 10,000 bars.” Pretty campy.

(Had a crush on Feynmann back in the '50s (him and Leonard Bernstein))
I have a book of poetry by Robert W. Service. (Our parents taught us the poem “The Spell of the Yukon” when we were kids.)
I have two of the Philo Vance books (can’t remember the authors name), several Charlie Chan (Earl Derr Biggers) and a vast collection of the Saint, mostly in hardcover. First editions of some old Nero Wolfe, but I can’t recall the titles now – I have everything in print, I think.

My special one is my script of ‘Severed Dreams’ signed by JMS, Biggs, and Tallman. Favorite ep. Also, ‘Tonight the Dragons are singing’ wierd little book. (Of course, if it has Dragons, I’m interested. 
)

Quite a few of us that study the martial arts have Sun Tzu’s * The Art Of War * and Musashi’s * A Book Of Five Rings *. They are excellent books. I keep an excerpt from Musashi’s book taped to the inside of my clipboard. Wise words for a cop on the street to live by…
-
Do not think dishonestly.
-
The Way is in training.
-
Become acquainted with every art.
-
Know the Ways of all professions.
-
Distinguish between gain and loss in worldly matters.
-
Develop intuitive judgement and understanding for everything.
-
Perceive those things which cannot be seen.
-
Pay attention, even to trifles.
-
Do nothing which is of no use.

Warren ZevonI think they were thinking of The Barsoon Project or something close to it.
As another addition, I offer up the anthology Alien Sex. That one always gets a few looks. I also have a three volume set of the Summa Theologica by St. Thomas Aquinas.
“I guess it is possible for one person to make a difference, although most of the time they probably shouldn’t.”

I Robot The Illustrated Screenplay. Harlan Ellison’s unfilmed treatment of Assimov’s robot stories. Illustrated by Mark Zug.
Barlowe’s Guide to Extraterrestrials by Wayne Douglas Barlowe, Ian Summers, and Beth Meacham.
I got both of these through the Science Fiction Book Club.

EnigmaOne, I’ll see you your Street Survival, and raise ya “The Tactical Edge”, the sequel to it. Was seriously considering the LAPD at one time…
And besides all the Dream Park books, which just happens to be one of my favorite series (so far it’s Dream Park, The Barsoom Project, and California Voodoo Game, for those of you keeping score at home), one of the more unusual tomes on my shelf would have to be The Complete Venus Equilateral. Love that golden age SF with the rivets…
Someday we’ll look back on this, laugh nervously, and change the subject…
Jophiel, I have Alien Sex. (Little green women!

Another couple of novels-into-movies:
- The Manchurian Candidate, Richard Condon. (Did I mention this before, or was it that movie thread?)
- The Caine Mutiny, Herman Wouk.
And a rather odd one from the thirties:
- Rain in the Doorway, Thorne Smith. Author of Topper, and many more, see http://members.tripod.com/~JCHOMA/THORNE.html .
