I'm imaging myself around 20 and missing out of a couple of decades of great reading:

the Aubrey/Maturin canon - Patrick O'Brian

any book in the Discworld series - Terry Pratchett

anything by Iain M. Banks (although, strangely, I don't find his non-SF as compelling; perhaps it is too dark for my tastes).

and something to stimulate me to learn Lisp then instead of now.
