Zen & The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, which was fantastic coming from someone who's only flirted with reading philosophy.
 
Then I read the four books in the Ringworld Series by Larry Niven. The first one was easily the best and most awe-inspiriing, I enjoyed the rest but they weren't quite as magical. I don't think I'd be that interested in reading any of his Known Space novels, even if they're set in the same universe.
 
First post in the thread btw. I am 26. My mum read to me as a child and I've never been in a position where I've not been reading something or other, book or otherwise.

Currently reading the last instalment of Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy - The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

I've started reading Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, only because it was referenced in a Doctor Who message board. 


I once had a cassette version of the audio book, I think it was read by Douglas Adams himself and it was very funny.

World Without End by Ken Follet. I just began this. It's a sequel to Pillars of the Earth. Great story so far.
I recently read Under the Dome by Stephen King. Yawn. Weaksauce. C'mon SK, give it up. You lost it.
