Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I have yet to read another book that can beat the trilogy's depth in the description of characters, landscape, wars and mythology in such an interesting fashion. I have also yet to read an author who has put so much energy into creating a world so completely and describes war (in the fantasy genre) as it really is: perhaps necessary but comes at a great cost. I also like the way characters (like Frodo) actually grow and learn from their experiences and how they are changed by war.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams. It's sci-fi, but also comedy. Definitely worth reading and, if you like it, you can also read the other books in the series:
-The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
-Life, The Universe, and Everything
-So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish
-Mostly Harmless

Killing Floor by Lee Child is a great suspense novel. Also Echo Burning and Running Blind, same author.
But if you're into fictional humor, Bill Clinton has a biography out.

Strongly recommend Clan of the cave bear by Jean Auel, a clash of cultures, a brilliant work and a compelling first story of a 5 book series.
