Unfortunately, not many people read books these days. =\ A real pity.

Faust:
The obvious one: Faust!
And:
Solzenhitsyns (spelling?) first circle,
George Orwells animal farm and 1984,
(all) Terry Pratchett books and my little viking Nietzsche library.

Pissed_Macman:
-Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series
-Dirk Gently Series
-Pretty much anything else by Douglas Adams
-Star Wars books, particularly the Thrawn Trilogy, the X-Wing series, the Hand of Thrawn Trilogy, the New Jedi Order series, and a handful of other great books (I've read close to fifty SW books and I've still got a little ways to go)
-Any of the Year's Best Science Fiction books
-Chindi
-Deepsix

There are many more good books I've read, but unfortunately they aren't coming to mind at the moment.

NikS:
lots of Russian writers.
sorry for any misprints.

* "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" (all of 'em)

* (mmm... don't know how their name is written in English correctly) Everything by Strugatsky brothers

* "The Firm" (the movie sucks)

* (Almost) everything by Sergey Lukjanenko

* "Adventures of smart(or howzit in English?) soldier Shweik" (damn it rocks   )

* Alexander Bushkov's "Svarog"

* Everything by Boris Akunin

and lots of other really good books I can't remember now

yeah. its depressing, like when i went camping with the "crew". it was mid afternoon, i was sitting back in my chair, in the shade, reading. The looks i got from my freinds was hilarious. Then they would come over and ask what i was doing, like they have never seen anyone read before. I would say, "i'm reading." and they would shake their head and say something like-"how strange" or something just as stupid.

oh yeah, Douglas Adams rocks. So does Hunter S. Thompson. Everything i have read by Asimov has been rad too. There was this book i read a long time ago, i think it was called "A Canticle for Leibowitz", i really enjoyed that one. It was dark & depressing.
