    These are items of literature which will enrich one's life, or would improve society if they were read by everyone, not just things you think are really good.

    I'll start:

    Enemies of Reason, Richard Dawkins
    Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell (Lazy fucks can read Animal Farm instead)
    Religulous, Bill Maher

    I agree, the ending was better in the DS saga though.

    In terms of literature which would enrich someones life or improve society, I'd have to recommend Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants.

    Brave New World by Alduous Huxley. Better than Nineteen Eighty-Four, in my opinion.

    Locked Up Abroad - Hour long episodes about people generally from civilized nations like England and the USA who wind up prisoners in less than friendly places.

    Great first person naratives. Amazing show.

    Game Of Thrones, amazing series, very good cast, good story, and the best thing is, when everyone is talking about one thing, they have something much bigger to worry about.

    Walking Dead.

    LOTR's Books, if you can be bothered.

    In terms of works that would improve one's life I'd say probably... Schindler's list, Radio, and The Pursuit of Happiness just the first few that pop into my head.

    The Art of War, Sun Tzu.
    War and Peace, Leo Tolstoy, aside from a great story, it contains various sections which are more philosophical discussion than storytelling.
    Don Quixote de la Mancha, Miguel de Cervantes.
