Win 1 of 10 Copies of CHM eBook Reader from MicroOLAP Technologies
Compiled HTML (CHM) books are growing in number - from manuals and help files to eBooks (including many from Microsoft Press). CHM eBook Reader from MicroOLAP Technologies allows you to view these books on your Pocket PC, with the advantage of supporting full-text searching, bookmarks and much more. CHM eBook Reader is also amazingly fast. Books, both big and small, take no longer than two seconds to be opened.
To kick the new year off in style, MicroOLAP Technologies has kindly offered ten copies of CHM eBook Reader to give away, each valued at $14.95 (each copy includes a single user license with a one-year update subscription). To take part in the contest, all you have to do is post a reply in this thread stating your favourite book, including both the book's title and author. My favourite book at the moment is John Shaw's Nature Photography Field Guide, by er... John Shaw! What's yours?
Remember, only one post per person. The contest closes on Monday, January 9, 2006 at 3:00PM [GMT -7]. After that, I'll randomly select ten winners from the thread. Good luck to all of you!
Update: The contest has closed. No further entries will be accepted.

Picking one book is like choosing your favorite cookie
After the Bible (gotta agree with the others, this is life-changing stuff), the complete works of Mark Twain. Love the classics!

All-time favorite: Bible by God
Current favorite: The Narnia books (reading them right now, in chronological order) by C.S.Lewis
Other favorites: Star Wars books from Timothy Zahn (e.g. The Last Order), also the Star Trek episode transcripts (someone(s) made transcript (well, more like a novel) from every single TNG/DS9/VOY episode, and it is as enjoyable as watching the episode...he/they did an excellent job...too bad it is only avaible in hungarian as far as i know)
Even more favorite stuff cause this thread reminded me some:
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series 1-4 (it'd be just perfect if he would not made that 5th book that sucked, badly...really, the ending of 4 would be a good ending to the series...anyways) by Douglas Adams
"This Present Darkness" and "Piercing the Darkness" by Frank E. Peretti
(and there are still more and more favorite books, i just can't remember all of them ATM)
