Carl Sagan played no small part in my becoming a scientist. Broca's Brain was the book that turned me on to him. I'd highly recommend it. DHW was fantastic as well. I think Cosmos is one of the few books of his that I haven't read. I'll have to pick it up.

A denser, but interesting read is Intelligent Life in the Universe, a book where Sagan expands upon a Russian scientist's theories on ET intelligence.
