This thread sort of inspired me to get the second Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book (it's been so long since I've read the first one [and seen the movie]).

And it just came in today! Don't spoil it for me.

I love the Silo series by Hugh Howey (Wool, Shift, and Dust). It's about a group of people who have been living in an underground silo after nuclear fallout. The writing is fantastic.

The Nexus series by Ramez Naam is a good read for programmers. I've only read the first book so far.

The Martian was also very good, even the film adaptation. I had a hard time putting it down.
