Ah bloody hell, this is going to be difficult. I'll try. This is in no order

1) Stranger In A Strange Land - Robert Heinlein

2) Snow Crash - Neal Stephenson

3) Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas - Hunter S. Thompson

4) Prey - Michael Crichton

5) House Of Suns - Alastair Reynolds

Yeah, sci-fi is my thing mostly.

Honourable mention to Orson Scott Card, "Diamond Age" by Neal Stephenson, all of Heinlein's works, most of Hunter S. Thompson's works, Sphere and Jurassic Park by Crichton, Richard Dawkins, Stephen King, and also Harry Potter, cause that shit was great when I was a kid.

EDIT: Shit I forgot Philip K. Dick. Man there are too many people to list.
