I don't think any bibliophile could resist this question! And reading through the other answers, I was quite a little bit pleased by the great range of tastes and interests. Often we hear, especially in a university setting, that no one likes to read anymore or that no one is interested in any of the classics anymore. I think, perhaps, that the people who believe that America is becoming illiterate would be surprised to see these lists.
Here's mine, also in no particular order. Hmm, only ten?
Doctor Faustus, Christopher Marlowe
Paradise Lost, John Milton
The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Milan Kundera
To The Lighthouse, Virginia Woolf
Pale Fire, Vladimir Nabokov
Barabbas, Par Lagerkvist
An Inspector Calls, J.B. Priestley
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Tom Stoppard
Bears Discover Fire, Terry Bisson
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams
