I had friends in high school who liked Mercedes Lackey...the covers put me off, they just looked so awful. Might give them another shot, though.
Ursula K LeGuin: OH MY GOD. I love her sci-fi so damn much, it's craaazy. The Lathe of Heaven is another huge favorite from her, although I wonder how much of it is because I recognize a lot of the places she talks about--I live in Portland, which is where the story takes place. I also loved Lavinia, even though it's semi-historical.
The God Delusion ...wow. It's so nice to read stuff from someone who assumes you're intelligent, but just don't know the subject matter. He's wonderful at explaining things in a witty way that really makes me think. I finished that book and announced to my (now ex-) boyfriend that I was an atheist.
