For me, it all started with Firestarter by Stephen King... I can still feel the headache and the huge endorphin rush after finishing it! After reading that book, I was hooked on his book and read about 23 of them in a few months... Now, I've laid off of it...
However, then there's Touching Spirit Bear which got me hooked on young adult books... lol... :-)

Any of Kurt Vonnegut or Dan Browns books. Loved Slaughterhouse 5 by Vonnegut but could NOT put down the DaVinci Code by Dan Brown.
