Most definitely "To Kill a Mockingbird"
but also these (in no particular order)
"Watership Down" by Richard Adams
The "Narnia" series of books by C.S. Lewis
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series by Douglas Adams
"The Hunt for Red October" by Tom Clancy (how many other authors got questioned about sensitve information by the FBI because of the thoroughness of their research, which was only done in a pre-Internet public library?)
"The Watsons Go to Birmingham--1963" by Christopher Paul Curtis (you laugh one minute then cry the next)
"Lonesome Dove" by Larry McMurtry (as great as the series was, the book is even better!)
"The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt" by Edmund Morris
"Man of the House" by Tip O'Neill (the best first-hand book on politics I've ever read, and I'm a staunch conservative!)
"Esperanza Rising" by Pam Munoz Ryan
"The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman" by Ernest J. Gaines
The "All Creatures" series of books by James Herriot
and an honorable mention of C.S. Lewis's "The Screwtape Letters" (which, technically, was published during WWII) and J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" books, which I haven't yet gotten around to reading, but still mean to.
