Carl von Clausewitz - On War
Homer - The Odyssey
Arrian - The Campaigns of Alexander
Xenophon - The Expedition of Cyrus
Plutarch - Parallel Lives
Cicero - Political Speeches & Defense Speeches
Ovid - Metamorphoses
William Shakespeare - Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, et al. All of the tragedies + The Tempest, The Merchant of Venice, Richard III & Twelfth Night
Aeschylus - Oresteia trilogy
Fyodor Dostoyevsky - Crime and Punishment
Vladimir Nabokov - Lolita
Herman Melville - Moby Dick
Virgil - Aeneid
Niccolo Machiavelli - Discourses on Livy & The Prince
Lewis Caroll - Alice's Adventures In Wonderland & Through The Looking Glass
John Steinbeck - The Grapes of Wrath
And some modern stuff that's fantastic if you have even a passing interest.

I, too, got BioShock Infinite.
Yup. And at full-price too, smh. First game I bought full price this year and won't be the last. I'm still at the very beginning and will be playing more today after the World Cup qualifying matches are done. Also, I think I'll be playing with my 360 controller. This game's mouse sensitivity is waaaaay too loose and I just prefer the 360 controller in single-player FPS.
bonus: read my sh1tty BioShock review from when it first came out. fvck that game now
