Pretty much anything by Buckminster Fuller.

Though I've read a good much of it, the Will and Ariel Durant History etc is at times mind-numbing in it's trivial detail. Overall though I still recommend it.

Most Russian novelists, with the exception of Pasternak.

Tom Clancy. I do not care, nor have I ever cared, nor could I conceivably in the future care how things work in the depths to which he can devote entire paragraphs, if not pages.

Dickens. I loathe him. Terminally boring. Not to mention maudlin. Oh, did I say boring?

Hemingway. I've never understood what people see in his stuff.
