A guy on a talk radio show said, "You're not educated unless you've read 1984." I think I agree with that. It was definitely the most powerful book I've ever read.
Books I consider important for the reader:
Jennifer Government by Max Barry (humor fiction)
I consider it important simply because it gives the reader a glimpse into an ultraprivatised world. Companies are generally free to do whatever they want and companies control most of daily life.
Guns, Germs, & Steel by Jared Diamond (nonfiction)
I, Claudius by Robert Graves (historical fiction)
Brave New World (fiction)
Some other fun novels/stories:
All of E.A.Poe's short stories (horror? fiction)
Brian Lumley's short stories (horror fiction)
Voyage of the Beagle by Charles Darwin (nonfiction)
There are a host of other books I could put here but I don't remember them all.
