Wow, a complete Lovecraft for $13? That's some brain-splitting horror that I can afford!
I have too many favorite books to remember. A few that come immediately to mind are:
Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel
William Gibson's Neuromancer
Thomas Hobbes' The Leviathan
David Hume's An Inquiry concerning Human Understanding
Musashi Miyamoto's The Book of Five Rings
Lao Tsu's Tao te Ching (I have an old translation annotated with a number of anecdotes by Chaungze which is a particular favorite of mine.)
George B. Dyson's Darwin Among the Machines
Larry Niven's Ringworld
Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Robert Gilmore's Alice In Quantumland
Chuck Palahnuik's Lullabye
Stephen T. Chang's Internal Excercises
Wally Jay's Small-Circle Jujitsu
There's so many more... lots of physics/math/anthropology/philosophy stuff, pretty much any book in those genres that I find time to read. I'm also a big fan of the classics, both Western and Eastern. I'd really like to find some good translations of the old Arabian classics.

PS - Ah, how could I forget Kafka's Metamorphosis? It's definitely a favorite... as is the episode of Home Movies where Brendon gets roped into making a rock opera out of it. (See my signature.)
