Q: "What are your top 5 to 10 books that you think everyone should read at some time as an adult?"

Here are some of the titles folks have already suggested:

Heart of Darkness by Joeseph Conrad - My personal favorite book. Every sentence is packed with literary cleverness. Every time I read this little 75 page "book" (really, more of a novella) I learn something new about it. Not for everyone, but if there could be a benchmark for modern general fiction, this is a hot contender.

"Tomorrow's Children" by Isaac Asimov
"The Salmon of Doubt" by Douglas Adams
"Live and Let Die" by Ian Fleming
"Our Bodies, Ourselves" by the women's collective
"2010: Second Odyssey" by Arthur C. Clarke

"War and Peace" (Seriously, it is a good book)

What books do you think every adult needs to read?
