my favorite is probably It by Stephen King... great book...  also, I'm reading the Wheel of Time series now, currently  I'm almost finished book 5, and I'm getting book 6 for  Christmas... that's an awesome series...

selfish gene- richard dawkin evolution isn't what it used to be- ? fractal geometry of nature- mandelbrot (but only because of  the main idea it set, the general reading was torture)
  natures numbers- ? patterns in nature- ? the orion book of evolution- ? encyclopedias are the best reading because they are so  generalized on many subjects, not a single one.

I really liked the first dark tower by steven king, "the  gunslinger". That was one of my favorite works of fiction. I  also read the second in the series, but that was totally  weird, still pretty good but not as good as the first. It  got weird when he started finding doors to portals in new  york city or something. Then I read a bit of the 3rd, only  the part where the giant bear was crashing through the  woods, and a little ways after, but it sort of lost the feel  of the original "gunslinger" so I stopped reading it...

  Hitchhiker's Guide is great, the funniest books I've ever  read.
 
  Also the MYTH Inc. Books by Robert Aspirin.  I don't know  how popular these were or if anyone remembers them but they  were fuckin' great.

  if you like english (well, scottish, really) humour with a  sick twist, a tad horror, sometimes some sci-fi and always  truly great stories: check out iain banks.
 
  iain m. banks is his pseudonym for his insanely imaginative  scifi work.
 
  trust me on this one!!
