I did.  I'm facinated with time travel, so when I saw it @ the library I took a chance.  It was awesome!  Very sad at the end, though.  I admit, I cried.

Luxury:

After getting bored with fantasy/sci-fi, I just switched over to horror.  I got a book of H.P. Lovecraft, and after reading it, bought everything he has done.  Very cool stuff.  But all short stories...not "a good read" like a whole weekend kind of thing, but nonetheless I recommend.

if you like time travel, then i recommend 'timescape' by gregory benford.

i love old school science fiction- none of this stuff they have in the bookshops now. that's for girls! gimme robert silverberg, ray bradbury etc. the pinnacle of that age i reckon would be 'neuromancer' - by william gibson. was a pretty good guess at the future of the world wide web and hacking etc.

on h.p lovecraft i think he is to horror what l.ron.hubbard is to science fiction, read into that what you will...

on popular science- 'in search of schroedingers cat'- by john gribbin is great as is the older 'relativity simply explained'-by martin gardner

on original works BY scientists (that you can actually follow) you can't go past 'on the origin of species'- by charles darwin and michael faradays book (or collocted notes, i can't remember now).

the five books of the hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy trilogy is good although the last book seems like a contractual obligation

oh, and drew- you mean OXFORD, don't you?  ;)
