Sci fi
Anything by Larry Niven is good, Ringworld series and Smoke Ring are my fav's. An alien species hires a mix of other aliens to investigate a gigantic object they found in space and determine who built it.
Frank Herbert's Dune, I didn't like the other novels.
William Gibson's Neuromancer, Count Zero & Mona Lisa Overdrive. If you read it take into consideration he wrote it in the 60s & 70s... many of the things he invented now exist today.
Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard. Don't be distracted by the horrible movie or scientology, this book puts the epic into epicness for sci fi and theres no scientology BS in it.
Horror/Fantasy
Brian Lumley the Necroscope series starts out good. Young buy realizes he can communicate with the dead and learn from them. Eventually learns to control the mobius continuum allowing him to teleport. Involves other psi espionage against russians, other dimensions, vampires... good stuff.
Clive Barkers Weaveworld is one of my favorite books ever.
Joe Abercrombie Best Served Cold, The Heroes, etc.
Political
Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins, details how the U.S.A. pushed 3rd world countries into massive engineering projects they could never afford and when they called on the debts instead they took their resources forever.
State of Denial by Bob Woodward, all about the bush administration and war in iraq very controversial.
America Alone by Mark Steyn, about Muslims
