For me: Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

I had seen the movie but never read the book before. It was a lot better than I expected.

Also what is your current/next book?

I'm continuing the saga with The Restaurant At The End Of The Galaxy.

Eve - 200 million years of evolution using a female perspective

Actually finished feeling happy to be born female which working in a male dominated industry (engineering) and enjoying male dominated hobbies (skiing, climbing, backpacking) often leaves me only surrounded by guys and feeling 'wrong' to not be able to match their ways of doing things instead of able to focus on my unique abilities.

In the middle of The Way of Kings in anticipation of reading book 5.

It's not just gender - introvert vs. extrovert, biology vs. computer, science vs. project management, anyone can be excluded without effort to create a welcoming atmosphere. At least you are able to keep up in their area
(that notably many men themselves couldn't do), which already speaks highly to your capabilities and temperament!:-)
