-Demon Haunted World A Candle In The Dark - Carl Sagan
I enjoy his writing in general, but this one talks a lot about being a skeptic and critical thinking which is paraphrasing strongly.
-The Pillars Of The Earth - Ken Follett. Could not stop thinking about it when I wasn't reading it and was pretty bummed when it was over. Its about a cathedral being built in the 1100's. My most favorite book this year and probably ever.
-The Knowledge - Lewis Dartnell If all people were to suddenly disappear leaving the current world infrastructure still in place, how you could go about restarting civilization. Its more a manual than a story, but I enjoyed learning how so many different things work.
-Alas Babylon Pat Frank - A story about a family and some friends and how they survive in Florida after a nuclear attack on the US.
If they only cut out all the 'bad guy does a rape, again' stuff, it would be a fantastic read. Otherwise it's a fascinating read, populated with bad characters.
