Hmmmm. 10 books. I'll classify it as books that did something for me.
No particular order:
A Fine Balance - Rohinton Mistry
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
The Golden Gate - Vikram Seth
Popco - Scarlett Thomas
Generation X - Douglas Coupland
The War of the Worlds - H.G. Wells
The Mysteries of Pittsburgh - Michael Chabon
If On a Winter's Night a Traveller - Italo Calvino
The Life and Death of Great American Cities - Jane Jacobs
Cat's Cradle - Kurt Vonnegut
Okay, I violated the rule, but Jacobs is more important than most of the stuff on my list.
