A Canticle for Leibowitz - Walter Miller (recommended SF classic) The Chronicles of Narnia - C.S. Lewis (an old favorite, recommended) The Name of the Rose - Umberto Eco (some interesting parts, but overall a disappointment) Theology and Sanity - Frank Sheed (recommended; a very written description of the Catholic faith; weaknesses are it's long and it's aimed to a mid 20th c. audience) Christianity for Modern Pagans: Pascal's Pensees - Peter Kreeft (recommended; a good exposition of Blaise Pascal's thought) Catholicism: A journey to the heart of the faith - Robert Barron (recommended; a good explanation of Catholicism for the common person) His Master's Voice - Stanislaw Lem (recommended; very intellectual look at the problem of first contact) The Industries of the Future - Alec Ross (the robotics chapter is best; other parts are more light-weight; easy read) Clouds of Witnesses - Dorothy Sayers (not my favorite Sayers mystery, but enjoyable) A Study in Scarlet - Arthur Conan Doyle (recommended) Why Gender Matters - Leonard Sax (recommended; most of the book is based on good science, but he does go out on a limb a time or two.) Old School - Tobias Wolff (recommended; a world before widespread TV where high school boys actually got excited about literature) Infinite Space, Infinite God - Karina and Robert Fabian editors (story quality varies; I enjoyed some of them) The Sign of Four - Arthur Conan Doyle (recommended) On Stranger Tides - Tim Powers (recommended; I love Powers, but Anubis Gates and Last Call are better. Still, if you like pirates you should like this) The Art of Worldly Wisdom - Baltasar Gracian (interesting) Aquinas at Prayer: the Bible, Mysticism, and Poetry - Paul Murray (recommended; this shows a different side of Thomas Aquinas) Aristotle for Everybody: Difficult Thought Made Easy - Mortimer Adler (recommended; I almost think this should be required reading) The Pilgrim's Regress - C.S. Lewis (I enjoyed it, but the ideas Lewis argues against are somewhat dated.) Edit for formatting
