Wow... there are some really great recommendations so far. My list is getting longer and longer...

Brave New World (Aldous Huxley)
The Outsider (Albert Camus)
Some of my favorites.

I'd also add Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm to that list.

My "must read" list is more by author than by title...
-H.G. Wells
-Jules Verne
-Kallistos Ware

And then, of course there are the classics of science fiction and horror...
-Frankenstein
-Dracula

And if you like my recommendations so far, you must check out The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comics/graphic novels. They're amazing... Some of my favorite fictional characters, a little historical fiction, and enough steampunk to make me smile.

I just finished Volume 1 and I'm having a really hard time waiting until payday (Friday) to buy Volume 2... I'm really tempted to put it on my credit card, read it between now and payday, and then buy The Black Dossier when I get paid...
