Also for Sci-fi make sure you read Orwells 1984 if you havent already. On a favourite recent book I would have to say A War Against Truth by Paul William Roberts. It is just an incredible book about the invasion of Iraq by US forces. Regardless of your politics or your thoughts on the war this should imo be compulsory reading for anybody living in a democracy. Make no mistake this guy is no friend of Sadaam Husseins but some of the things that he relays are just incredibly touching. From almost countless breaches of the Geneva conventions to US soldiers trading food with him for a quick phone call back to their loved ones. Whatever notion you have of this war from the mainstream media this book will blow you away. Check out http://www.straight.com/content.cfm?id=7010 for a slightly better written review.
