What topic area?

These are the ones I would recommend for philosophy:

Aristotle - Nichomachean Ethics

Lao Tzu - The Tao te Ching

Leonard Peikoff - Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand

Marshall Rosenberg - Nonviolent Communication

Richard Dawkins - The Selfish Gene

Any I like a good fiction story, some science fiction, anything historical or classic, or non fiction if it is not too boring.

Heinlein's 'The Moon is a Harsh Mistress' is good

I enjoyed Andre Norton's 'Star Guard' which is military sci-fi (mostly on foot)

I've heard good things about Starship Troopers but haven't read it

(and apparently the film is not the most faithful adaptation)

I have read Stranger in a Strange Land, which was worthwhile... it has more of a 'flower child' or 'new age spirituality' tone than 'Moon' but I think it's an interesting story nonetheless
