The Elegant Universe [Briane Greene]
A Brief History of Time [Stephen Hawking]
The Mote in God's Eye [Niven + Pournelle]
The Gripping Hand [Niven + Pournelle]

I've never liked Monk. I'll have to check out Physics of the Impossible, I see Kaku on history channel all the time and have always been interested.

I just remembered!

I almost forgot:-
The Dark Is Rising Sequence, by Susan Cooper. They made it into a movie and absolutely ruined it! They're really amazing and unique.
