My favorite non-business book is by far "Dune" saga, by Frank Herbert. The books transpose you in a vast universe that is build with tremendous talent containing a detailed future fictional society with guilds, families, feudal organisations, politics, social typos, economic drive, conflicts and intrigues. By putting you in the middle, the book is a real-life school of politics, economics, social and personal, good (if not best) practices. Also treats themes like loyalty, fear, treason, bravery, dictatorship, revolts, knowledge of the future, destiny etc. I have read it first time when I was 14 then I have re-read it several times, last time recently, 2 years ago (37 yo).

The Dreaming Void
Fascinating space opera for relaxation after work, this is the second saga from him. I became fan of Peter Hamilton.
Write It Down, Make It Happen: Knowing What You Want And Getting It

As for business books, my main profession is attorney-at-law, so i studied mainly juridical books. If we consider personal-developing books also in the business area my favorite book would have to be "Write It Down, Make It Happen" - Henriette Anne Klauser. It literally changed my life from the moment I have read it. The main idea from the book is to reflect well upon a desire/goal and if it suits you, and you really want it, write it down. After this you will make steps conscious or sub-conscious towards your target and it will happen. I did write a lot down and I did happen! Also in the recent years, after I changed my field of activity from law to yachting, every time I have a project - let's say buying few boats - I print an image with the boats and eventually we manage to get them.
