Mark Kurlansky (non fiction) I think "Salt" is his best
Neal Stephenson (fiction, speculative)
Robert Heinlein (fiction, sci-fi)
James Crumley (fiction, hard boiled)
James A. Michener (fiction, historic)

"The Forever War" Joe Haldeman
"Old Man's War" John Scalzi
"Moveable Feats The History, Science, and Lore of Food" Gregory McNamee
"Botany of Desire" Michael Pollan
"Ishamael" Daniel Quinn

Quoted from xsvtoys:

Great list.
Two Years Before The Mast
Any and all Steinbeck
Michener - Alaska and Hawaii.
Asimov - Read the entire Foundation/Robot series in chronological order
Any and all Dune
I also really like everything by William Gibson, Neuromancer is the classic there but they are all good

Two Years Before the Mast is a true classic. I enjoyed Dune (OG) the most.

This thread is making me realize how much reading for pleasure I used to do
