Ignition is a fantastic book, even if it doesn't win you all should read it. You can learn about FOOF/other crazy rocket fuel compounds and everyone almost blowing themselves up constantly. A+++

For those who don't know about FOOF: https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2010/02/23/things_i_wont_work_with_dioxygen_difluoride

it explodes violently at any temp over -300F
