Stranger in a Strange Land, Robert A Heinlein. Excellent tale of the unfettered potential of humanity, using the vehicle of a man born on Mars seeing Earth from a naive perspective. Some great characters (especially Jubal who reminded me of Robert Anton Wilson at times) and some great language such as the humble 'I am but an egg'. I was interested to find that this book was the origin of the term to 'grok'. Packed with intriguing concepts such as being 'water brothers'. Parallels with the saviour archetype and an interesting take on the paranormal... Truely deserving of it's cult status and a highly enjoyable read.

For all of the literature geeks out there I highly recommend Jasper Foorde. His imagination seems to have no bounds. From his pulp fiction-like Nursery Crimes to the Thursday Next series. If you are well-read you will enjoy all of the inside humor.

"Accelerondo" by Charles Stross. Heady book about a future where constant access to ever increasing computing power creates "post humanity" and digitized conciousness allows space travel and reintegration of various "selves".

I feel like a dope next to you guys...I just finished the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyers. My 14 year old female students recommended them to me. Lots of sexual tension, but no actual sex. Very addictive books. What can I say? I teach middle school.
