1. Have a Nice Day: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks by Mick Foley
2. The Year 1000 I forgot who the authors are

I can't really think of any other books to list. The rest are probably John Grisham and Michael Crichton books and some history books.

Ok:

1. Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
2. Gun, With Occasional Music - Jonathan Lethem
3. Bear v. Shark - Chris Bachelder
4. Hitchhiker's Trilogy (all six) - Douglas Adams
5. Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury

Sci-fi, Sci-fi, Sci-fi, I can't stress this enough boys. Modern, Classic, whatever, just not "stock sci-fi". I don't deal with that Airport-Paperback trash. Lord of the rings is good too. Oh, I'm reading a ton of sci-fi that I just bought, so my list could be changing in a month or two, books like Hyperion by Dan Simmons, and Foundation by Isaac Asimov.. some other guys too, another good book: Amnesia Moon by Johnathan Lethem... I wanna read Dune and some other stuff too.
