As far as fiction is concerned:
LOTR, Stand On Zanzibar, Wollheim&Carr 67, TMIAHM Glory Road, Starship Troopers (rereads), Foundation, 2001, The Languages of Pao, To live Forever, the Blue world, Gladiator at law, Search the Sky. The Last Starship from Earth.
Those I am pretty sure of. LOTR absolutely.
Plus whatever Anderson, Dickson or Herbert came out with that year. And probably other rereads, Dune, Earthlight, The Caves of Steel, etc, and a dozen anthologies.
I raided my parent's book collection also. A Neville Shute novel went down well, but I abandoned Marlowe' Faust partway through.
