Watership Down by Richard Adams


Grade school required reading about rabbits off to find a prophetic utopia, and chronciles rabbit culture more than perhaps ever intended:)
The Last Call by Tim Powers


Incredible story, high stakes fantasy novel about gambling for a lost soul. If I am not mistaken his is Power's third novel on my list.
Enders series by Orson Scott Card


One of the all time popular Sci-fi series, a series taht does not have o be critically picked at or studied to find its appeal. It's just the exciting, fun travels and adventures of Ender Wiggins., a true master gamer. You can get collections of Speaker of teh Dead, Xencide, and CHildren of the mind here. You can get Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, and Shadow of the Hegemon, collected here.
Vorksogian by Lois Mcmaster Bujold


Note chronologicaly Shards of Honor and Barrayar come first, but Miles starts running sh$t in The Warriors ApprenticeSmile Like I said it's my list:)

I love Bujold's efforts into fantasy with Curse of Chalion, and Paladin of Souls, but along with Hamilton this series may be the best Space Opera ever, powered by a great character Miles Naismith Vorkosigan. There are other novels after this, hat I'm still getting too, I'll add them as I can vouch for them:)

Little, Big by John Crowley


You know what it is. Get the 25th aniversay edition, September 2006. Read Here

Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury


Would not be a reputable list without Bradbury. Apparently not only is he a great writer, he is a prophet too.
1984 & Animal Farm by George Orwell


Big Brother, and revolution, in one book here ! The second apparent prophet in a row on my list.

Otherland by Tad Williams


Always respected Williams for writing distinctively different series, Otherland is IMHO probably his best work, and distinctley different from his prior listing here Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn.
S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure by William Goldman


We have al lseen the movie:) It's Inconceivable! Look for the unabridged vesion, which truly makes it detailed AND fun. But fun works too.
Foundation by Isaac Asimov


As I mentioned before, I have never been a big hard Sci-fi fan. I give credit where it's due however. Asimov needs to be on any such list. There apparently is more to the series, but I haven't read them:(
