Cosmos is an excellent pick.

If I were to stick to fiction, as grindy did, my list would probably go:-
The Solid Mandala by Patrick White Nausea by J-P Sartre A Room With A View by E.M. Forster 1984 by George Orwell The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Woolf Eyeless In Gaza by Aldous Huxley A Tale of Two Cities by Dickens Titus Groan (and follow-up volume) Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake "Counts as one choice!" Emma by Jane Austen The Hours by Michael Cunningham (thus saving the trouble of reading a Virginia Woolf book!) With runners up:- The Magus by John Fowles The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini The Volcano Lover by Susan Sontag Darkness At Noon by Arthur Koestler And some previously mentioned books that might've been on my list, but ten is ten so what can you do :- A Scanner Darkly, Down And Out In London And Paris, The Naked Lunch, Lolita, Night , The Letters of Vincent Van Gogh and The Death and Life of Dith Pran. Good choices, all!
