The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
Inspiring.
Into The Wild by John Krakauer
Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman! by Richard Feynman
Feynman’s exploits are always entertaining, and his thought process is ingenious.
His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman
Alternate worlds stacked upon each other is a brilliant idea, and the characters are compelling. Pullman really knows how to write books that pull you in and don’t let go.
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny
Altogether different from any book I’ve ever read. It was written in 1967, but the words are fresh and timeless. The underlying concepts are brilliant and the story is epic.
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
Ender’s Game & Speaker For The Dead by Orson Scott Card
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
