Books everyone should read. (Except Nietzsche, that is ABSOLUTELY not for everyone)
HP Lovecraft - All the Cthulhu Mythos, excellent horror!
Edgar Allan Poe - Master of mysteries, most of his work is top-notch.
Douglas Adams - Hitchhiker's Guide... and the books about Dirk Gentley's Hollistic detective agency
Harlan Ellison - All the Sounds of Fear (GREAT Sci-Fi)
Friedrich Nietzsche - Everything (lest you won't understand him, don't really know if I should try to make people read his works, most totally misunderstand him.)
Schopenhauer - Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung
Charles Baudelaire - Les Fleurs du Mal
George Orwell - 1984, Animal Farm (!!!)

Right now I'm reading Terry Pratchett: Guards! Guards!
I'm on page 294, and it's quite cool.
Next three books are gonna be Terry Pratchett: Pyramids, Douglas Adams: The Salmon Of Doubt and JD Salinger: The Catcher In The Rye (which I thought we were gonna read in English class a long time ago, but seems we're gonna start next week or in February or around that..).

Do you know the band? They did some late 60's psychedelia-like stuff back in the day. Their first is really nice (for someone to whom the genre fits )DrPepper wrote:HP Lovecraft - All the Cthulhu Mythos, excellent horror!

Nowadays I only read english books.
Most recently:
Ramses (five books) by Christian Jaqué <-- These are a must!
Biostrike by Tom Clancey
A time to Die by Wilbur Smith
Temple by Matthew Reilly <-- One of the most exciting books I've ever read!
Other books that are very good is all the others by Tom Clancey and Wilbur Smith. Also some of Dean Koontz "horror" stories are very enjoyable
Clancey is the more military stuff while Smith writes mostly about the old Africa. VERY intresting and worth reading.

I dream of a world where chickens can cross the road without their motives being questioned.
