Phillip Pullman's "His Dark Material's" Trilogy.
This series gave me a new outlook on and made me an armchair physicist and renewed my falling interest in maths...
"Endurance".
My sister got this book for me as a birthday present. Its about the story of Sir Ernest Shackleton's voyage to the South Pole and their ship got stranded....in 1914. Made me think a lot about survival when I finished reading it.
Erm...of the couple hundreds of books I've read are novels...so they're mainly for entertainment.
