Mine would be filled with crime novels, particularly the "whydunit" kind by writers like Elizabeth George, Ruth Rendell and PD James. They're books which blend the classic countryside murder - closed circle of suspects, labrynthine plots, myriad clues - with strong psychological elements, exploring what lies behind violent death, the excuses a killer makes for his crimes, and the impact his actions have on the world around him.
I also like pulp science fiction by Philip K. Dick and so forth.
I hate James Patterson, whose work is basically illiterate fapping fodder for sick sadists.
