Metro 2033 - The book that inspired the hugely popular video games!
The Metro video game series was a huge success. Is it worth reading Dmitry Glukhovsky's novel that inspired it all?

The Martian - Poop, Taters, and Tenacity
The Martian by Andy Weir is one of the most fun, un-put-downable sci-fi adventure stories out there. Plus, it's really in a league of it's own, poop-taters wise.

Roadside Picnic - the book that inspired Stalker and Metro 2033!
Arkady and Boris Strugatsky's sci-fi masterpiece is driven by one man - Red Schuhart, one of the greatest characters ever written into science fiction. He's a stalker, one of the few people with enough grit and wits to survive trips into the Zone, the eerie region left behind after aliens visited Earth.

We - The book banned by the Soviets that inspired 1984!
We by Yevgenzy Zamyatin is the grand-daddy of all dystopias that couldn't be published in the USSR until 1988! Extremely well-written and full of interesting ideas - petroleum food, anyone?
