The first one I read was Season of Mists, and Lucifer blew my mind.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. This book is reponsible for making who I am today. Its universe limitless absurdity allows the author to make amazing metaphors describing religion, politics, technology, etc...

The Prince, by Niccolo Machiavelli. It's one of the best books that i've read. It's been so long, I should re-read it.

My favourite Sci fi novel is most definitely Excession by Iain M Banks.
The insights and 'colour' it gives to the Culture Minds is what makes it for me. I also find things like 'Outside Context Problems' intriguing.
The following is Banks' description of a OCP and gives a glimpse of why I love his writing style:
something most civilizations would encounter just once, and which they tended to encounter rather in the same way a sentence encountered a full stop."

Poet Anderson ...of Nightmares by Suzanne Young. I've always been fascinated by dreams and science behind them and this book has a quite unique take on it. Nightmares preparing us for real life events, The Dream World which is basically a shared human consciousness, guardians protecting humans from Night Terrors. Plus the story is dark, it's more of drama but it's so entertaining to read!!
