I love classic literature, but like a lot of more comtemporay authors' works, too. Among my favorite titles of the past two decades:
Chocolat
The Joy Luck Club
The Kite Runner
Neverwhere
The DaVinci Code
Ender's Game / Speaker for the Dead
The Right Stuff
Digging to America
Farewell Summer
The Curious Tale of the Dog in the Nightime (posted above me) has been chosen as our school's first One School, One Book novel. It should be an interesting read.

I'm currently re-reading A History of the World in 10.5 Chapters by Julian Barnes. Love it: it's so different. I have loads of faves, depending on the mood I'm in. A few that spring to mind now are:
The Catcher in the Rye
The Curious Tale of the Dog in the Night-time
Anything by Bill Bryson
I agree with you: losing yourself in a great book rocks!

First book I enjoyed as a child was "The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe" by C S Lewis.
Recently made into a film.
I now like books by Dickens and the Bronte Sisters.

Present - and those you mention are good for anyone. If you'd like to read a weird variation on "To Kill A Mockingbird", read "Boy's Life" by Robert MacCammon - it's like "The 13th Warrior" - you're reading along, and suddenly you realize - this is ""! Boy's Life is like that, once you get past the weird. I like anything by Robert Heinlein, Louis L'Amour, or John D. MacDonald.
