For anyone who enjoys literature, The Plague (by Camus) is probably my all time favorite novel. It follows a doctor in a city quarantined because of plague, who works to combat the infection. It pretty thoroughly explores his philosophy of absurdism, which is very close to many LW ideas. I expect most LWers are probably familiar with him, and possibly The Plague, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Since deconstructions of Harry Potter are occasionally popular here, people might be interested in Alan Moore's take in the latest League of Extraordinary Gentlemen book, Century: 2009. The Mindless Ones blog has very thorough and spoilerrific review posts up.
