The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials Series #1)
by Philip Pullman
Good books to read, well written. Read before the movie comes out and spoliers pop up.
Alanna: The First Adventure (Song of the Lioness Series #1)
by Tamora Pierce
Best books I have ever read. Main character grows up with the books. In other books Tamora write they turn up again. Nice that you keep seeing them and what's happening in their life. Strong women too.

by Douglas Adams
Tells you the meaning of life. Which is 42. British humor.

Without age and a hint at what you're interested in, it's difficult to make suggestions, but here goes:
http://www.life-after-harry-potter.com
Included is a list of only the best sorcery fantasy books, grade reading level, and a short review of each book.
Also, if that doesn't appeal to you, maybe this will: http://www.interleaves.org/~rteeter/grtother.html#great , especially the Harvard Classics, and most of these are free on the web.
I hope this helps.

"The Power of One" by Bryce Courtenay
It sounds like a self help book but it's not. Its an amazing story about a boy growing up in Africa during apartheid.

George Orwell's "1984" is a really really really good book. I recommend it to every adult. It's one of the best books in literary history.

Hard to help without any expressed interests? I wouldn't want to recommend the marvelous new book on South American stamp collecting unless you were interested in philately, would I?
