My ten would be:
1984 by George Orwell
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky
Discipline and Punish by Michel Foucault
On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin
The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins
A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking
On Liberty by John Stuart Mill
On Writing Well by William Zinsser
Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift
I listed ten books I thought would be important to read instead of listing my top ten favourites (although it is pretty close to what my top ten favourites would be).

Fans of Douglas Adams should read his book Last Chance to See. I liked it a lot more than Hitchhiker's (and I liked Hitchhiker's). I wish Adams had written more non-fiction.
