If you are looking for books by an author or genre, check out IBList
If you are feeling spunky, add a book or two or some info about a book that is already there.

Anthem by Ayn Rand (a possible glimpse into the future?)
Hope for the Flowers by Trina Paulus (it's a children's story, but every adult should read it AT LEAST once)
The John Carter of Mars series by Edgar Rice Burroughs
(this series is great if you're a sci-fi fan)
The Time Machine by HG Well (The book NOT the movie!!The book is very symbolic and in depth. The movie completely missed the whole point that HG
Wells had intended.)
I know '1984' and 'Animal Farm' were already recommended, but I have to recommend them as well. Also, 'A Brave New World' is great!

Has anyone read the "Incarnations of Immortality" series by Piers Anthony? The first one, "On A Pale Horse" is excellent.

And of course Stephen King goes without saying..Most of the stuff I read is non-fiction by a slew of different authors and most of them deal with the
things I'm into.
Crime books are interesting as well.

Rowling's Harry Potter series, I love it
Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, one of the greatest works of literature
anything by Tom Clancy, his books are so close to reality, its freaky
Dan Brown "Da Vinci Code", briliant
Graham Hancock "Fingerprints of the Gods", amazing book about ancient civilisations, also his book "The Sign and The Seal", search for the Ark of
the Covenant, briliant
ummm will think of more later
