Fantastic books IMO
Benevolance:
I've always enjoyed Old Man and the Sea. It's not sci-fi, but it's well written.
For the sci-fi fare, I recommend China Mieville's first two books: Perdido Street Station and The Scar.
knave:
I've read 1984 and Farenheit 451 and enjoyed both overall I tend to read a little bit of everything.
Over the last year I've read 1-12 in the dresden files series, just got book 13 those are pretty fun. But if I had to pick out a few that stand out in my memory:
Relic by Douglas Preston was pretty enjoyable as was Absolute Power David Baldacci
I really enjoyed the "Game of thrones" long before the HBO series.
Deathgate Cycle is pretty good, Almost anything by Piers Anthony, Feist and Eddings...
...I recently was given "Enders Game" By Orson Scott Card...I hear that's a classic.
I will read almost like it's an addiction
javeryh:
The Harry Potter series.

I only read those in highschool because I took SciFi as an elective, otherwise I wouldn't of been required to read any of them.

If you like the HP series you should give Golden Compass a shot. Movie didn't do it justice so the other 2 books in the trilogy aren't being made I don't believe. Similar to HP in that you're following a story about kids, but completely different. And although it's a trilogy, book 2 felt very different from book 1, same for book 3.
