My favorite graphic novel. Great plot, great writing, and amazing characters. We'd all like to be a superhero, but maybe not these super human super heroes.
Turn Right at Machu Picchu

A fantastic non-fiction. It was great to read this before visiting Machu Picchu. It also gave me more insight into the other ruins my friend and I visited throughout Peru.
Survival: Species Imperative

My favorite Sci-fi series. I love how the main character is a true biologist, seeing everything in terms of biology. Meanwhile, she solves several strange puzzles, like why are worlds dissolving?
Snake Ropes

A truly imaginative world where things are never as they seem. If you like magical, mythical stories, definitely read Snake Ropes.

You're a traveler in outer space and you've come across a giant sphere. Time to explore and find out how much trouble you can get into! This is my favorite Arthur C. Clarke novel.
Mara, Daughter of the Nile

When I was a kid, I was wandering through the library and picked this off of the shelf. I never knew how amazing a story could be until I read this. A young girl playing double spy? I read it over and over. Definitely a win.
Jurassic Park

A great adventure with a mix of technology. Better than the movie, of course. The second book is just as exciting and way better than the movie.
In the Company of Heroes
Priority: Like it a lot
Added: 2015-09-02 by another contributor
I don't often read non-fiction, but this ended up in my reading pile, and I'm happy it did. A true life hero who survives to tell the tale and share the heroism of his comrades.
And also a surprise about Ross Perot and his dedication to veterans (one of my favorite people).
Girl with the Dragon Tatto
Priority: Like it a lot
Added: 2015-09-02 by another contributor
This trilogy is dark and amazing. Follow the girl with the dragon tattoo as she takes her revenge, and uses her unique talent to solve a mystery.
If you haven't seen the movies, I suggest the Swedish versions.
Atlas Shrugged

Ayn Rand writes her characters in one dimensional ways, but gets her point across of how certain viewpoints can be dangerous. I really liked the ideas behind the story.
