• Ghostwritten, David Mitchell
• Quicksilver, Neal Stephenson (Just reading this one now, so maybe I'm only putting it because it's fresh in my mind, but so good)
• One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, Alexander Solzhenitsyn
• Ethics, Aristotle
• The Deathstalker Cycle, Simon R. Green (my absolute favorite guilty scifi indulgence; space opera mixed with mythology)
