This is very difficult for me. My favorite books shift over the years and depending on my mood. But I'll give it a go --
Robert Pirsig - Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Douglas Hofstadter - Godel, Esher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid
Neal Stephenson - Snowcrash (and his Baroque trilogy)
Tim Powers - The Drawing of the Dark
Charles Stross - Singularity Sky (or possibly Glasshouse)
Roger Zelazny - Lord of Light (or possibly his Amber series)
Iain M. Banks - Consider Phlebas (his whole Culture series)
Michael Connelly - Angels Flight (his whole Harry Bosch series)
Robert Ludlum - The Bourne Identity
Joseph Campbell - The Power of Myth
I suppose I am going to go over the limit because I'll also pick
Frederik Forsythe - The Odessa File (I don't think FF gets enough credit these days)
Damn, not enough room for John le Carre or ...
