I really love Shogun by James Clavell at the moment since i just read it but my all-time favorite is probably something by Cormac Mccarthy or Ernest Hemingway.
I also really really love all of Jack London's work (at least all of the dozen or so of his pieces I have read) and my favorite of his stories is the Sea Wolf.

SamoThe Stand, by Stephen King
Did you read the original, or the expanded, huge-as-fuck edition? Because it's worth it.

If I had to pick just one, it would be Joyce's Ulysses, mainly because it taught me how to read beyond the words on the page. When I first started to "get" that book, it was a revelation.

Ender's Game
Starship Troopers
I also remember enjoying Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six but that was really long ago and I'm not sure how much I'd like it anymore.

Can't believe it hasn't been mentioned, but Game of thrones is prolly the best fantasy book ever written

lamefxThe wheel of Time
I've always wanted to give this series a shot (I have the first 3 books) but I'm afraid to get into it because I'd probably fail out of school because it would consume all of my time

I think A Storm of Swords was better than GoT, unless you were just referring to the whole ASoIaF series.

I'm about 200 pages deep and it's not doing much for me so far. It seems like a lot of cutting off peoples' heads and young people getting the uh-oh feeling.

But I love religious information, so The History of God was a really great read.
