I thought of another one for the sci/fi lovers. Don't know why I didn't think of this first.

Armor by John Steakley. This is actually one of the best sci/fi books ever written. But the author doesn't get much attention because he's only written 2 books and a very few short stories. His other book was a vampire book that they made into a movie. I read it (Armor I mean, not into vampire books much except original Dracula) about 10 years ago when I noticed it appearing on lists of best sci/fi novels of all time with an asterisk beside it.
