Dresden file book series by Jim Butcher.There are 8 books in the series beginning with stormfront.It narrates the story of Harry Dresden,chicago's only professional wizard who works as a detective.He stands between the general population who is ignorant about the supernatural world and the monsters - vampires,werewolves,fallen angels,fey.He is aided by Bob,a talking skull.Karrin Murphy-a police officer and Thomas-a white court vampire.
Dragonjousters series(joust,alta,sanctuary) by Mercedes Lackey.The setting is ancient Egypt.Hunger, anger, and hatred are constants for young Vetch, rendered a brutally mistreated and overworked serf by the Tian conquest of his homeland. But everything improves when a Tian jouster requisitions Vetch to become the first serf ever to be a dragon boy. His training is intense, and his duty clear-cut: to tend his jouster, Ari, and his dragon, Kashet. He discovers that, because Ari himself had hatched Kashet, the dragon is different from others that have been captured live in the wild and must be drugged to be made tractable. Vetch finds he really likes and understands dragons, and soon he becomes the best dragon boy of all. He still harbors anger, however, toward the Tian invasion. Could he, perhaps, hatch a dragon, and then escape to help his people?
Scaramouche by Rafael Sabatini.When his best friend, a young clergyman, is killed in a mockery of a duel by an arrogant noble, just to quiet his eloquent expressions of democratic ideals, Andre-Louis Moreau vows revenge. From that point, through meteoric careers as a consummate actor and scenario writer, then as a fencing master, and finally a politician, the brilliant Moreau keeps thwarting the aims of the aristocratic Marquis de la Tour d'Azyr. However, the nobleman causes pain to Moreau as well, and the time must come when the two will meet to settle their enmity once and for all. You are not likely to guess how their confrontation finally turns out. Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, this swashbuckling novel is exciting throughout, and it presents one of the most dashing heroes in fiction, a man who can fight equally well with his mind, his mouth, his pen, and his sword, a man who stirs up events wherever he goes.

1. Heart of Darkness: Joseph Conrad
Studied it at school and re-read many years later. This is absolutely my favourite book. Ignore all the Apocolypse Now stuff, this stands in its own right as a complete masterpiece.
2. A Short History of Nearly Everything: Bill Bryson
Got it as a Christmas present, allowed it to gather dust for months then picked it up and read it in two days. Mind-expanding.
3. The Hero With a Thousand Faces: Joseph Campbell
Saw lots of similarities in popular culture, mentioned it to a mate and he reccomended this to me. If you want to know the 'formula' for how human beings tell each other about life, this is it.

The Neverending Story by Michael Ende - answered many questions, spiritual above all. Everybody should read this book at least twice. First when they are kids, to see just first layer of the book. And once more when they grow up, to understand deeper layers of the story. And after that as many times as they want
Jonathan Livingstone Seagull by Richard Bach - when I red this book it seemed to me that anything is possible, and that limits are inside of us, but not in the nature.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen - what to say about this one, that haven't been already said?
Simply, I love it.
